Charlotte weather this week

Charlotte, North Carolina Just your ID

Charlotte scores 8.5 out of 10 and has no genuinely clear day in the next 16.

8.5/10
No clear day
0 genuinely clear days, 1 partly cloudy, 5 overcast, 0 wet, 0 stormy — out of 16 forecast days.
Bright days 1 vs dull days 5. Dull wins, so we do not call this a good week.
We are not showing a flattering tier word here. Why the score and the sky can disagree.

The model gives this week 8.5 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 0 genuinely clear days and 5 dull ones, expect grey skies. We are showing you the number and the contradiction rather than only the number.

6-day window, 0.5% rain-affected — Glimpses of sun but no clear sky — 1 partly cloudy day, mild (85°F)

How this week got its score

  • 6 forecast days: 0 clear/mainly clear, 1 partly cloudy, 5 overcast, 0 wet (fog/drizzle/rain/showers), 0 stormy.
  • Trimmed mean of day scores 8.5 × 0.55 = 4.68
  • Worst day drag: worst day is 7.1 × 0.25 = 1.77 - 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 9.2 but it only counts through the trimmed mean - a lone great day cannot carry the window.

The full model, including why a single great day cannot rescue a bad week, is on the methodology page.
