Warm is not the same as pleasant, which is why sunshine and rainfall are shown alongside temperature. All three are ERA5 monthly means for 2023–2024.
Where the curve breaks
The frontier is gentle until it isn't. Going from Heraklion (618 kg, 9.7 h) to Zaafarana (844 kg, 10.1 h) buys 0.4 hours more sunshine for an extra 226 kg — 565 kg of CO₂e per hour. That single step is the most expensive sunshine on the whole curve.
The pick of them
If you'd rather have heat than sunshine
November answers differently depending on what you're after. The warmest destinations from Copenhagen in November are a different list — hours of sunshine and degrees of warmth come apart, especially early and late in the year.
