Sunshine Atlas — interactive map of the world's sunshine, warmth & rain
☀ Sunshine Atlas
☀ Where is it sunny?
Where the world is sunny, month by month
Sunshine Atlas is an interactive weather map of 3,833 destinations, built on long-term climate data. Spin the globe above and paint every destination by Sunshine Score, warmth, cold or rainfall for any month of the year — or start from when you want to travel. Each month distils into a single Sunshine Score, the same number behind every ranking on this site.
Every place on this map is somewhere you can actually fly. A destination only makes the atlas if it has its own airport — that's the selection rule — so every dot on the globe and every page on this site is a real, reachable trip, not just a point with good weather.
