How this week got its score

  • 7 forecast days: 0 clear/mainly clear, 0 partly cloudy, 3 overcast, 4 wet (fog/drizzle/rain/showers), 0 stormy.
  • Trimmed mean of day scores 5.9 × 0.55 = 3.22
  • Worst day drag: worst day is 5.0 × 0.25 = 1.25 - one bad day cannot be averaged away.
  • Longest consecutive run of good days (≥7.0) is 0/7 = 0% coverage × 0.20 = 0.00
  • Best single day is 6.4 but it only counts through the trimmed mean - a lone great day cannot carry the window.
  • Advertised 3-day window (2026-08-06→2026-08-08) scores 5.0 on its own.
  • Legacy gate counted 4/7 days as "perfect sun"; this model counts 0 genuinely clear.
