Frequently asked questions about Castries's Climate Transition score
How fast is Castries's climate changing compared to other capitals?
Castries ranks 207 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 Castries?
The fastest-shifting variable in Castries is precipitation, at -20 mm/decade. That is the change per decade, fitted as a linear trend across 1944 to 2025, so over 82 years of measured data rather than two isolated years.
How much is Castries warming per decade?
Castries is warming at +0.16°C/decade across 1944 to 2025. Over thirty years that works out at roughly 0.5°C. The trend accounts for 54% of the variation between years; the rest is ordinary year-to-year swing.
Is Castries getting more extreme heat days?
Days above 30°C are increasing by +3.3 days/decade in Castries. On this trend that is roughly 10 days gained or lost every thirty years.
Is Castries losing its winter?
Frost days are declining by +0.0 days/decade in Castries. 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 Castries'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. Castries scores 29.3. 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.
