What's the "perfect weather" score for your location?

Scoring

The "perfect weather" score for a given time period is calculated as the percentage of "good days" for which records are available within the time period.

When using daily records (the default), a "good day" is defined as a day with:

• 1mm of precipitation or less

When using hourly records, a "good day" is defined as a day with 6 or more consecutive "good hours," where a "good hour" is defined as an hour with:

• Temperatures between 50°F and 85°F
• 0.2mm of precipitation or less
