Atlanta weather this week

Just your ID

Atlanta scores 8.8 out of 10 and has no genuinely clear day in the next 16.

8.8/10

No clear day

0 genuinely clear days, 0 partly cloudy, 5 overcast, 0 wet, 0 stormy — out of 16 forecast days.

Bright days 0 vs dull days 5. Dull wins, so we do not call this a good week.

We are not showing a flattering tier word here. Why the score and the sky can disagree.

The model gives this week 8.8 out of 10 because it is warm and largely rain-free, and those are the two things the score measures. It is not measuring sunshine. With 0 genuinely clear days and 5 dull ones, expect grey skies. We are showing you the number and the contradiction rather than only the number.

5-day window, zero rain — Mild and overcast — grey skies all 5 days, 87°F

The next 16 days in Atlanta

Every number below is the forecast we hold, rendered as text — nothing here is drawn on a canvas or filled in by JavaScript. The rain figure is the highest chance across all 16 days (30%), not the lowest, because the worst number is the useful one.

Booking window Fri 25 Sep–Tue 29 Sep: 8.8/10 for those days alone. The 16-day outlook score (8.8) covers the full table below and includes days outside that window.

How this week got its score

5 forecast days: 0 clear/mainly clear, 0 partly cloudy, 5 overcast, 0 wet (fog/drizzle/rain/showers), 0 stormy.
Trimmed mean of day scores 8.5 × 0.55 = 4.68
Worst day drag: worst day is 8.5 × 0.25 = 2.12 - one bad day cannot be averaged away.
Longest consecutive run of good days (≥7.0) is 5/5 = 100% coverage × 0.20 = 2.00
Best single day is 8.5 but it only counts through the trimmed mean - a lone great day cannot carry the window.

The full model, including why a single great day cannot rescue a bad week, is on the methodology page.
