Frequently asked questions about Roseau's Climate Transition score
How fast is Roseau's climate changing compared to other capitals?
Roseau ranks 209 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 Roseau?
The fastest-shifting variable in Roseau is wind speed, at -0.4 kt/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 Roseau warming per decade?
Roseau is warming at +0.17°C/decade across 1944 to 2025. Over thirty years that works out at roughly 0.5°C. The trend accounts for 52% of the variation between years; the rest is ordinary year-to-year swing.
Is Roseau getting more extreme heat days?
Days above 30°C are increasing by +2.7 days/decade in Roseau. On this trend that is roughly 8 days gained or lost every thirty years.
Is Roseau losing its winter?
Frost days are declining by +0.0 days/decade in Roseau. 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 Roseau'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. Roseau scores 28.6. 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.
