Frequently asked questions about Juneau's Climate Shift Index score
How fast is Juneau's climate changing compared to other capitals?
Juneau ranks 125 of 245 world capitals for how fast its climate is shifting. That places the city in the middle of the ranking. The ranking measures pace of change, not how hot or how pleasant a city is.
What is changing fastest in Juneau?
The fastest-shifting variable in Juneau is precipitation, at +167 mm/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 Juneau warming per decade?
Juneau is warming at +0.34°C/decade across 1976 to 2025. Over thirty years that works out at roughly 1.0°C. The trend accounts for 27% of the variation between years; the rest is ordinary year-to-year swing.
Is Juneau getting more extreme heat days?
Days above 30°C are decreasing by -0.0 days/decade in Juneau. That is a small figure, which usually means the city either rarely passes 30°C at all or already did so often enough to leave little room to grow.
Is Juneau losing its winter?
Frost days are declining by -5.3 days/decade in Juneau. 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 Juneau'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. Juneau scores 49.3. 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.
