Best Cities with Warm Weather Year-Round in 2026

Tired of winter? Some cities deliver warm weather 365 days a year without the humidity that makes tropical living unbearable. After analyzing climate patterns across 342+ cities in Voyica's database, we found the cities where the weather is consistently pleasant — and the cost of living won't melt your savings.

The Top 10

1. Medellín, Colombia — ~$1,100/mo | 22-28°C year-round

   Called "The City of Eternal Spring" for a reason. At 1,500m elevation, Medellín avoids both tropical heat and cold snaps. T-shirt weather every single day. Rainy season brings afternoon showers but mornings are always clear.

2. Las Palmas, Gran Canaria — ~$1,400/mo | 18-26°C year-round

   The Canary Islands have the best year-round climate in Europe. Winters average 18°C, summers peak at 26°C. No heating or AC needed ever. Beach, surf, and a growing nomad community with EU infrastructure.

3. Cali, Colombia — ~$900/mo | 24-30°C year-round

   Warmer than Medellín but still comfortable. The salsa capital of the world brings energy, culture, and cheap living. Less touristy than Medellín, more authentically Colombian. The food and nightlife punch above their weight.

4. Chiang Mai, Thailand — ~$850/mo | 20-35°C

   Hot season (Mar-May) pushes 35°C, but the rest of the year is pleasant. Cool season (Nov-Feb) drops to comfortable low 20s. The burning season haze (Feb-Apr) is the main downside. Otherwise, flip-flop weather almost year-round.

5. Oaxaca, Mexico — ~$1,000/mo | 18-30°C year-round

   At 1,500m elevation, Oaxaca gets warm days and cool nights. Sunny almost every day outside the brief rainy season. One of Mexico's best food cities with a strong cultural identity. Mezcal, mole, and markets year-round.

6. Da Nang, Vietnam — ~$800/mo | 22-33°C

   Beach weather most of the year. Typhoon season (Sep-Nov) is the rough patch, but otherwise it's warm, sunny, and perfect for the outdoor lifestyle. Air conditioning is needed in summer but rent is so cheap it barely matters.

7. Lisbon, Portugal — ~$2,000/mo | 12-28°C

   Mild winters (rarely below 10°C) and warm summers without the extremes of Madrid or Athens. 300 sunny days per year. The maritime climate keeps things temperate. January is the "cold" month and you'll still see people on terraces.

8. Cape Town, South Africa — ~$1,200/mo | 12-26°C

   Mediterranean climate with warm summers and mild winters. June-Aug is "winter" but it rarely drops below 10°C. The flip side: wind. The Cape Doctor blows strong in summer. But the sunshine and outdoor lifestyle are world-class.

9. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — ~$1,000/mo | 24-33°C year-round

   Consistently warm and humid. If you like tropical heat, KL delivers it 365 days a year. Air conditioning is standard in all apartments and malls. The afternoon thunderstorms are brief and dramatic. Green spaces help offset the urban heat.

10. Playa del Carmen, Mexico — ~$1,300/mo | 24-33°C year-round

    Caribbean beach weather all year. Hurricane season (Jun-Nov) is the caveat, but actual hits are rare. The cenotes, turquoise water, and beach lifestyle make the humidity worth it. The Riviera Maya lifestyle at accessible prices.
