Map colours and the ranking show the latest modelled 2 m air temperature. Circle size represents GHSL Urban Centre population in 2020.

Near-real-time weather comes from Open-Meteo. “Forecast high” in the selected-city panel refers to the forecast daily maximum 2 m air temperature for that city. Population values are GHSL Urban Centre estimates for 2020. Economy groups follow the World Bank FY2027 income classification. This is a weather snapshot, not a measure of long-term climate risk or population vulnerability.

There is a city story in every question, every street, and every future we imagine.
