What is what-temp.com?
what-temp.com is a free real-time weather service that tells you the current temperature for any city in the world within seconds. Whether you need to know the temperature in Amsterdam before a trip, want to check what it feels like in Dubai right now, or simply need to know the temperature before stepping outside — what-temp.com gives you an instant answer.
The site shows the current temperature in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, alongside the "feels like" temperature (which accounts for wind chill and humidity), humidity percentage, wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure, visibility, sunrise and sunset times, and today's forecast high and low temperatures.
A live clock adjusts to show the local time at whatever city you are viewing — so if you are in London checking the weather in Tokyo, the clock shows Tokyo time. City backdrop photos change to show the destination you are viewing.
Understanding Temperature: Celsius vs Fahrenheit
There are two main temperature scales used around the world: Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).
Celsius is the international standard and is used in almost every country in the world, including all of Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, and South America. Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C. A comfortable day is around 18–22°C. A hot summer day in southern Europe is around 32–38°C.
Fahrenheit is primarily used in the United States. Water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F. A comfortable room temperature is around 68–72°F. A hot summer day in New York reaches 90–100°F.
To convert between the two scales: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. In the other direction: °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. what-temp.com lets you toggle between both units instantly.
| Temperature | Celsius | Fahrenheit | What it feels like |
|---|
| Freezing | 0°C | 32°F | Ice on roads; winter coat essential |
| Cold | 5°C | 41°F | Heavy jacket required |
| Cool | 12°C | 54°F | Light jacket or jumper |
| Mild | 18°C | 64°F | T-shirt with light layer |
| Warm | 24°C | 75°F | T-shirt weather |
| Hot | 30°C | 86°F | Shorts; sunscreen recommended |
| Very hot | 36°C | 97°F | Lightweight clothing; stay hydrated |
| Extreme heat | 42°C | 108°F | Dangerous; avoid outdoor exertion |
World Climate Zones and What Temperatures to Expect
Temperature varies dramatically by geography, season, and altitude. Here is a guide to what temperatures to expect in different parts of the world:
Tropical Climate (Southeast Asia, Central Africa, Amazon)
Tropical regions near the equator maintain warm temperatures year-round, typically 26–36°C (79–97°F). High humidity makes temperatures feel significantly hotter — Bangkok in April at 35°C with 85% humidity can feel like 44°C. There is no true winter in tropical climates; instead there is a wet season (monsoon) and a dry season.
Desert Climate (Middle East, North Africa, American Southwest)
Desert climates experience extreme heat in summer (40–48°C / 104–118°F in Dubai and Riyadh) and surprisingly cold nights. The low humidity makes high temperatures feel more bearable than tropical equivalents. Winter temperatures in desert cities can be mild and pleasant — Dubai in January averages 19–24°C (66–75°F).
Mediterranean Climate (Southern Europe, California, South Africa)
Mediterranean climates have hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Rome in July averages 30°C (86°F). Barcelona in August averages 28°C (82°F). Winters are mild — London-equivalent cold is rare in Mediterranean cities. Cape Town and Sydney also share this pleasant climate type.
Temperate Oceanic Climate (Northern Europe, Pacific Northwest)
London, Paris, Dublin, and Amsterdam sit in temperate oceanic climates: mild summers (18–25°C / 64–77°F), cool winters (4–10°C / 39–50°F), and rain distributed throughout the year. Four distinct seasons, but rarely extreme in either direction.
Continental Climate (Central Europe, North America, Russia)
Continental climates have extreme seasonal variation: hot summers (25–35°C / 77–95°F) and cold winters (−10 to −25°C / 14 to −13°F). Chicago, Moscow, Warsaw, and Toronto all experience this dramatic range.
What to Wear: Temperature Guide
Not sure what clothes to pack for your destination? Here is a quick reference guide based on temperature:
- Below 0°C / 32°F: Heavy insulated coat, thermal layers, hat, gloves, scarf, and winter boots. Wind chill can make it feel 10–15°C colder.
- 0–10°C / 32–50°F: Winter coat or thick jacket, jumper, jeans, and closed shoes. Gloves and hat are useful.
- 10–18°C / 50–64°F: Light to medium jacket or jumper, jeans. Spring and autumn temperatures in most of Europe.
- 18–24°C / 64–75°F: T-shirt with an optional light layer for evenings. Comfortable for most outdoor activities.
- 24–30°C / 75–86°F: T-shirt, shorts or light trousers. Sunscreen and sunglasses in direct sun.
- 30–38°C / 86–100°F: Lightweight, loose-fitting clothing. Sun hat essential. High-factor sunscreen. Stay hydrated.
- Above 38°C / 100°F: Light-coloured loose clothing; avoid outdoor exertion between 11am and 3pm. Drink 2–4 litres of water per day.
Always check the Feels Like temperature — not just the actual temperature — because humidity and wind can make conditions feel very different from the raw number. what-temp.com shows both values.
How to Check Weather Before Travelling
Weather can make or break a holiday. The key is to understand the difference between climate (the long-term average for a place and time of year) and forecast (what is actually expected to happen on specific days).
When planning travel months ahead, use climate data to understand what to expect — for example, knowing that Bangkok is in monsoon season from May to October means heavy rain is likely. When you are within 7–10 days of travelling, switch to checking the live forecast on what-temp.com.
Key data to check before any trip:
- Daily high and low temperatures — pack clothing that covers the full range
- Humidity — high humidity (above 70%) dramatically increases how hot temperatures feel
- Wind speed — wind chill makes cold temperatures significantly more dangerous
- Sunrise and sunset times — useful for planning activities, especially in high-latitude destinations where daylight varies dramatically by season
