Rome weather this week

Rome, IT Passport worthy

Rome scores 8.4 out of 10 and has no genuinely clear day in the next 16.

8.4/10
No clear day
0 genuinely clear days, 2 partly cloudy, 2 overcast, 0 wet, 0 stormy — out of 16 forecast days.
Bright days 2 vs dull days 2. 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 8.4 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 2 dull ones, expect grey skies. We are showing you the number and the contradiction rather than only the number.

4-day window, zero rain — Glimpses of sun but no clear sky — 2 partly cloudy days, cool (79°F)

The next 16 days in Rome

Every number below is the forecast we hold, rendered as text — nothing here is drawn on a canvas or filled in by JavaScript. The rain figure is the highest chance across all 16 days (100%), not the lowest, because the worst number is the useful one.

How this week got its score

  • 4 forecast days: 0 clear/mainly clear, 2 partly cloudy, 2 overcast, 0 wet (fog/drizzle/rain/showers), 0 stormy.
  • Trimmed mean of day scores 8.5 × 0.55 = 4.69
  • Worst day drag: worst day is 7.0 × 0.25 = 1.75 - one bad day cannot be averaged away.
  • Longest consecutive run of good days (≥7.0) is 4/4 = 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.

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