The 10 warmest places within 15 hours of Prague
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
The warmest place you can reach from Prague in April within 15 hours is Kom Ombo, 28.3 °C, costing 821 kg CO₂e return. The lowest-carbon option is Hoyerswerda at 4.4 kg — 187× less carbon, for 18.7 degrees less warmth.
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 Rossano Stazione can only be reached by air — 297 kg CO₂e, in 5h 6m. Allow up to 24 hours and the train does the same journey for 34.8 kg in 19h — 9× less carbon for 13h 54m 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 Chiavari (22.1 kg, 13.9 °C) to Cannes (231 kg, 14.7 °C) buys 0.8 °C more warmth for an extra 209 kg — 261 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.
