The 10 warmest places within 15 hours of Nottingham
Ranked on warmth in April alone, among well-known places (a Wikivoyage travel guide and at least 40,000 Wikipedia readers a year), one per area and at most three per country. The carbon is shown, not used to choose: the list further down is the other question, how much warmth each extra kilogram buys.

The low-carbon trade-off
Every destination here is on the efficiency frontier: nowhere else this site covers is both warmer in April and lower in carbon. Anything a better option beats outright has been left out.
By rail or ferry By air
What the 15-hour limit costs: at this budget Palma del Rio can only be reached by air — 434 kg CO₂e, in 5h 48m. Allow up to 24 hours and the train does the same journey for 60.9 kg in 23h 24m — 7× less carbon for 17h 36m more travelling.

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 Perpignan (43.8 kg, 15.2 °C) to Zaragoza (316 kg, 16.1 °C) buys 0.9 °C more warmth for an extra 272 kg — 302 kg of CO₂e per degree. That single step is the most expensive warmth on the whole curve.

April answers differently depending on what you are after, and the lists genuinely diverge: the brightest places are not the hottest, and in summer the useful question stops being where is warm at all.
