How we rank: a place counts as warm in January if its 10-year average daytime high is at least 24°C and rain falls on at most 45% of days. Places are ordered by fewest rain days, then by the warmer high. Weather only; it does not account for prices, crowds, visas, events or air quality. Places that miss either cut-off are not listed.
