Frequently asked questions about Managua's Climate Transition score
How fast is Managua's climate changing compared to other capitals?
Managua ranks 212 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 Managua?
The fastest-shifting variable in Managua is precipitation, at +32 mm/decade. That is the change per decade, fitted as a linear trend across 1940 to 2025, so over 86 years of measured data rather than two isolated years.
How much is Managua warming per decade?
Managua is warming at +0.07°C/decade across 1940 to 2025. Over thirty years that works out at roughly 0.2°C. The trend accounts for 13% of the variation between years; the rest is ordinary year-to-year swing.
Is Managua getting more extreme heat days?
Days above 30°C are increasing by +3.4 days/decade in Managua. On this trend that is roughly 10 days gained or lost every thirty years.
Is Managua losing its winter?
Frost days are declining by +0.0 days/decade in Managua. 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 Managua'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. Managua scores 26.4. 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.
