Method and limits

Climate fit uses WMO monthly normals (maximum temperature and rainfall) against a warm-and-dry preference. Monthly cost = our dated mid-range one-bedroom rent estimate plus 75% of the mid-range daily living estimate × 30. Internet, community and coworking are editorial assessments (October 2026). Visa lines summarise the destination’s long-stay options and must be verified in the Visa & Work Finder. Destinations without WMO normals use editorial best months and are labelled.
