How this week got its score
- 5 forecast days: 2 clear/mainly clear, 1 partly cloudy, 1 overcast, 1 wet (fog/drizzle/rain/showers), 0 stormy.
- Trimmed mean of day scores 8.5 × 0.55 = 4.66
- Worst day drag: worst day is 5.2 × 0.25 = 1.30 - one bad day cannot be averaged away.
- Longest consecutive run of good days (≥7.0) is 4/5 = 80% coverage × 0.20 = 1.60
- Best single day is 9.7 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.
