How this week got its score

4 forecast days: 1 clear/mainly clear, 0 partly cloudy, 2 overcast, 1 wet (fog/drizzle/rain/showers), 0 stormy.
Trimmed mean of day scores 7.7 × 0.55 = 4.21
Worst day drag: worst day is 6.6 × 0.25 = 1.65 - one bad day cannot be averaged away.
Longest consecutive run of good days (≥7.0) is 2/4 = 50% coverage × 0.20 = 1.00
Best single day is 10.0 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.
