If I may add a few comments: - The idea is awesome, I myself lived in 4 countries (and different regions) within the last 6 years, and such tool would be handy for me. - As a frequent nomad I look at the economic and social factors rather than climate and culture to which I am flexible. Rainfall and snowfall rates give me no information on climate, however knowing that it rains in Israel only in winter time draws a different picture for me. And Google search gives quite lower numbers on Moscow average humidity 60% vs 76%. Adding Celcius (as you did with cm in rainfall) would be good. I am Euriopean and Forenheit confuse me. - I think in cities comparison comfort score is the lead "index" but it needs to show the criterias included in this index. - It would be cool if every city would have a short summary on climate, as it would give much more of an idea of the city comfort.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, these are all good suggestions and thoughts! We do have a switch for Celsius already by the monthly temp graph. This will switch everything in the comparison table to metric first too.
