What 9/10 means here

Comfortable nearly year-round — mild, sunny, and predictable.

The Weather score measures how many days of the year are actually comfortable to be outside in normal clothes: temperature range, humidity, precipitation, and seasonal extremes. We weight summer extremes (heat, humidity) and winter extremes (cold, ice, darkness) equally — both reshape daily life.

How to use it

Planning a move around weather.

  • Most movers underweight weather and regret it within 18 months. The day-to-day mood impact compounds.
  • Pair with Outdoors. A 10 Outdoors with a 4 Weather means a great 4-month window, not a year-round lifestyle.
  • If you have Seasonal Affective Disorder, treat anything under 6 here as a hard constraint, not a tradeoff.
