Major cities where the modelled January mean stays above freezing

Large admitted cities whose NASA POWER 2001–2020 coordinate-grid January mean is above 0°C. This is a consistent modelled comparison, not a guarantee that every winter day stays above zero.

Lisbon, Portugal is first in the current published ranking at 12.91 °C; compare its source date and geographic grain before using the result.

What the numbers say

  • Lisbon, Portugal leads at 12.91 °C.
  • Torino, Italy sits at the other end with 1.21 °C.
  • The middle of this ranking is 3.91 °C, across 30 places that publish the metric.
  • The spread between first and last is 11.7 °C.

What this measures

Every row is a published january mean temperature (modelled) observation measured in °C, ranked highest first. The values were observed in 2001. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value.

  • Compare the displayed value, unit, source date and geographic grain together.
  • A city label does not change a regional observation into a city measurement.
