How this week got its score

  • 7 forecast days: 0 clear/mainly clear, 0 partly cloudy, 5 overcast, 2 wet (fog/drizzle/rain/showers), 0 stormy.
  • Trimmed mean of day scores 6.8 × 0.55 = 3.75
  • Worst day drag: worst day is 6.2 × 0.25 = 1.55 - one bad day cannot be averaged away.
  • Longest consecutive run of good days (≥7.0) is 2/7 = 29% coverage × 0.20 = 0.57
  • Best single day is 7.8 but it only counts through the trimmed mean - a lone great day cannot carry the window.
  • Advertised 3-day window (2026-08-11→2026-08-13) scores 5.1 on its own.
  • Legacy gate counted 3/7 days as "perfect sun"; this model counts 0 genuinely clear.
