Frequently asked questions about Buenos Aires's Climate Transition score
How fast is Buenos Aires's climate changing compared to other capitals?
Buenos Aires ranks 211 of 245 world capitals for how fast its climate is shifting. That places the city in the slowest-changing third, which does not mean nothing is changing here, only that it is moving more slowly than elsewhere. The ranking measures pace of change, not how hot or how pleasant a city is.
What is changing fastest in Buenos Aires?
The fastest-shifting variable in Buenos Aires is frost days, at -0.1 days/decade. That is the change per decade, fitted as a linear trend across 1976 to 1999, so over 24 years of measured data rather than two isolated years.
How much is Buenos Aires warming per decade?
Buenos Aires is warming at +0.10°C/decade across 1976 to 1999. Over thirty years that works out at roughly 0.3°C. The trend accounts for 3% of the variation between years; the rest is ordinary year-to-year swing.

Is Buenos Aires losing its winter?
Frost days are declining by -0.1 days/decade in Buenos Aires. Frost days are often the fastest-shifting variable in this dataset: cold extremes tend to warm faster than hot ones, which bears directly on anything sized for a cold season.
What does Buenos Aires's Climate Transition score actually mean?
The score folds six variables (temperature, tropical days, frost days, precipitation, sunshine hours and wind speed) into one number, converting each into a percentile against every other ranked capital. Buenos Aires scores 27.5. A low score does not mean nothing is changing, only that other capitals are shifting faster, and the score says nothing about how liveable or how warm a city is.
