Zion / Springdale weather this week
Zion / Springdale scores 7.7 out of 10 and has exactly one genuinely clear day in the next 7. Dull days (5) still outnumber bright ones (2), so this is not a good week.
The model gives this week 7.7 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 1 genuinely clear day and 5 dull ones, expect grey skies. We are showing you the number and the contradiction rather than only the number.

How this week got its score
- 7 forecast days: 1 clear/mainly clear, 1 partly cloudy, 4 overcast, 1 wet (fog/drizzle/rain/showers), 0 stormy.
- Trimmed mean of day scores 8.3 × 0.55 = 4.59
- Worst day drag: worst day is 5.7 × 0.25 = 1.43 - one bad day cannot be averaged away.
- Longest consecutive run of good days (≥7.0) is 6/7 = 86% coverage × 0.20 = 1.71
- Best single day is 9.8 but it only counts through the trimmed mean - a lone great day cannot carry the window.
- Advertised 3-day window (2026-08-17→2026-08-19) scores 8.9 on its own.
- Legacy gate counted 5/7 days as "perfect sun"; this model counts 1 genuinely clear.
