Frequently asked questions about Sofia's Climate Transition score
How fast is Sofia's climate changing compared to other capitals?
Sofia ranks 17 of 245 world capitals for how fast its climate is shifting. That places the city in the fastest-changing third of the ranking. The ranking measures pace of change, not how hot or how pleasant a city is.
What is changing fastest in Sofia?
The fastest-shifting variable in Sofia is temperature, at +0.64°C/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 Sofia warming per decade?
Sofia is warming at +0.64°C/decade across 1976 to 2025. Over thirty years that works out at roughly 1.9°C. The trend accounts for 66% of the variation between years; the rest is ordinary year-to-year swing.
Is Sofia getting more extreme heat days?
Days above 30°C are increasing by +4.8 days/decade in Sofia. On this trend that is roughly 14 days gained or lost every thirty years.
Is Sofia losing its winter?
Frost days are declining by -6.1 days/decade in Sofia. 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 Sofia'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. Sofia scores 80.1. 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.
