8.8/10
No clear day
<built-in method clear of dict object at 0x7ce263581940> genuinely clear days, 1 partly cloudy, 6 overcast, 0 wet, 0 stormy — out of 7 forecast days.
Bright days 1 vs dull days 6. 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 8.8 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 6 dull ones, expect grey skies. We are showing you the number and the contradiction rather than only the number.

7 cloudy / 0 wet days, no clear days in 7 — Warm, dry, and the sun never shows — zero clear days in 7

How this week got its score

  • 7 forecast days: 0 clear/mainly clear, 1 partly cloudy, 6 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 8.5 × 0.25 = 2.12 - one bad day cannot be averaged away.
  • Longest consecutive run of good days (≥7.0) is 7/7 = 100% coverage × 0.20 = 2.00
  • Best single day is 9.3 but it only counts through the trimmed mean - a lone great day cannot carry the window.
  • Advertised 3-day window (2026-08-08→2026-08-10) scores 8.9 on its own.
  • Legacy gate counted 7/7 days as "perfect sun"; this model counts 0 genuinely clear.
