How this forecast got its score

  • 5 forecast days: 0 clear/mainly clear, 0 partly cloudy, 5 overcast or foggy, 0 with a drizzle/rain/snow sky code, 0 stormy (sky codes; rain hours below).
  • Trimmed mean of day scores 8.4 × 0.55 = 4.64
  • Worst day drag: worst day is 7.0 × 0.25 = 1.75 - 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.
  • Hourly forecast: rain on 1 of 5 days (3h): 11 Nov (3h).
  • Whole 16-day forecast: 7 clear, 0 partly cloudy, 6 overcast or foggy, 3 with a rain sky code, 0 with a storm sky code; rain hours on 5 of them (41h).
