See what the weather is usually like, anywhere, in any month

Leidora is an interactive climate map for planning trips. Pick a month and see temperature, rain, sunshine, snow and sea temperature across every land area on Earth. Tap any place for its whole year in one chart.

What you can do with it

Weather by month, on one map

Switch between average temperature, daily highs and nightly lows, rain, sunshine and snow, and step through the twelve months to watch the seasons move.

Any place, its whole year

Tap a spot to see its typical day and night temperature, rain and sunshine, with a twelve-month chart that shows the best time to visit.

A beach score with sea temperature

A 0–100 score for the coast that weighs the water first, then the afternoon heat, rain and clear sky. A sunny coast with a cold sea scores low.

Compare up to four places

Shortlist places and see them side by side, month by month.

HD detail

Switch to the 11 km grid to see mountains, coasts and islands sharply. Zoom in and each cell's outline shows the area its value covers.

Links that open where you were

The address carries the month, the layer, the map position and the place you opened, so a link shows the other person the same view.

How the beach score works

35%Sea: full marks at 22–28 °C
30%Air: the afternoon high, full marks at 27–32 °C, corrected against coastal weather stations
20%Rain: no penalty up to 1.5 mm a day
15%Clear sky: full marks from 90%

The parts are multiplied, not added, so one weak part pulls the whole score down: a perfect sky cannot rescue an 18 °C sea. Scores fall into classes from Poor to Excellent (90 and above), and only cells on the coast get one.

Where to go, month by month

Questions

Where does the data come from?

From ECMWF's ERA5-Land climate reanalysis on a 0.1° grid, averaged over 2011–2025; daily max/min 2016–2024 (5 selected years); sea temperature and cloud cover come from ERA5 at 0.25°. It is what a typical month looks like, not a forecast or any single year.

Is this a weather forecast?

No. Leidora shows long-term averages, for planning trips weeks or months ahead. For the next few days, use a forecast.

How precise is a value for one town?

Each value is an average over a grid cell about 11 km (HD) or 22 km across, so it describes the area's climate, not one street or one beach.

Who makes Leidora?

Lubomír Tomány, as a hobby project. The name comes from Old Norse leið, the course a journey takes, as in lodestar, the star that guides it.
