Jayapura vs World: Temperature Compared
Jayapura's average annual maximum temperature is 30°C (86°F). To put that in context, here's how it compares to a few well-known destinations:
Barcelona, Spain has an annual average of around 21°C (70°F), with warm summers and mild, fairly short winters.
Toronto, Canada averages 13°C (55°F) annually, with cold snowy winters balanced by genuinely warm summers.
Seoul, South Korea averages 18°C (64°F) a year, with four clear seasons, cold winters, and hot humid summers.
Melbourne, Australia averages 20°C (68°F) annually — known for unpredictable weather, with four seasons sometimes happening in one day.
Climate temperature data is typically calculated as a 30-year average. This smooths out year-to-year variability and gives a more reliable picture of what a place is actually like, rather than what happened in any single unusual year.
The readings come from a range of sources — land-based weather stations, ocean buoys, ships, and satellites. That data is collected by weather services around the world, then pooled, quality-checked, and averaged to produce the climate records you see here.
For cities and regions with significant elevation, altitude is one of the biggest factors shaping local temperatures. As a rule of thumb, temperatures fall by around 6°C for every 1,000 metres gained — so a city at 2,000 metres will typically be around 12°C cooler than a city at sea level in the same region. Higher ground also tends to see more dramatic day-to-night temperature swings, since thinner air loses heat faster after sunset.
