How this forecast got its score

  • 6 forecast days: 2 clear/mainly clear, 0 partly cloudy, 3 overcast or foggy, 1 with a drizzle/rain/snow sky code, 0 stormy (sky codes; rain hours below).
  • Trimmed mean of day scores 8.8 × 0.55 = 4.84
  • 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 6/6 = 100% coverage × 0.20 = 2.00
  • Best single day is 10.0 but it only counts through the trimmed mean - a lone great day cannot carry the window.
  • Hourly forecast: rain on 1 of 6 days (3h): 20 Nov (3h).
  • Whole 16-day forecast: 3 clear, 0 partly cloudy, 7 overcast or foggy, 6 with a rain sky code, 0 with a storm sky code; rain hours on 7 of them (49h).
