Frequently asked questions about Bissau's Climate Shift Index score
How fast is Bissau's climate changing compared to other capitals?
Bissau ranks 218 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 Bissau?
The fastest-shifting variable in Bissau is wind speed, at +0.2 kt/decade. That is the change per decade, fitted as a linear trend across 1976 to 2025, so over 50 years of measured data rather than two isolated years.
How much is Bissau warming per decade?
Bissau is cooling at -0.03°C/decade across 1976 to 2025. Over thirty years that works out at roughly 0.1°C. The trend accounts for 2% of the variation between years; the rest is ordinary year-to-year swing.
Is Bissau getting more extreme heat days?
Days above 30°C are increasing by +2.6 days/decade in Bissau. On this trend that is roughly 8 days gained or lost every thirty years.
Is Bissau losing its winter?
Frost days are declining by +0.0 days/decade in Bissau. 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 Bissau's Climate Shift Index 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. Bissau scores 22.2. 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.
