Bryce Canyon weather this week
Bryce Canyon scores 8.5 out of 10 and has no genuinely clear day in the next 7.
The model gives this week 8.5 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 7 dull ones, expect grey skies. We are showing you the number and the contradiction rather than only the number.
7 cloudy / 0 wet days, no clear days in 7 — Cool, grey, and dry — overcast all week, peaks around 84°F

How this week got its score
- 7 forecast days: 0 clear/mainly clear, 0 partly cloudy, 7 overcast, 0 wet (fog/drizzle/rain/showers), 0 stormy.
- Trimmed mean of day scores 8.4 × 0.55 = 4.62
- Worst day drag: worst day is 7.6 × 0.25 = 1.90 - one bad day cannot be averaged away.
- Longest consecutive run of good days (≥7.0) is 7/7 = 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.
- Advertised 3-day window (2026-08-15→2026-08-17) scores 8.8 on its own.
- Legacy gate counted 5/7 days as "perfect sun"; this model counts 0 genuinely clear.
