# Climate Haven Cities

Ranked on the heat, nights, water, and fire you're signing up for in 2045 — not on this week's forecast.

These numbers will look low against the summer you remember, and that's the point. "Days ≥35°C now" is an average across 2015–2024 (ERA5 reanalysis, measured at each city's coordinates) — not the worst year. Paris hit 40°C recently and still averages 1.7 days a year over 35°C, because one blistering week is one blistering week. The 2045 column is a five-model CMIP6 mean, and averaging models flattens the extremes further. So read this as chronic exposure — how hot a normal year gets — not as a forecast of the next record. Heat and tropical nights are measured per city; water stress, wildfire risk, and adaptation readiness are national figures, marked on every card.
