<h2>How the grades work</h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Every grade is <b>relative to this place's own climate history</b>, not an absolute
|
|||
|
|
temperature. For each day Thermograph builds a ±7-day seasonal distribution from
|
|||
|
|
decades of local records, then reports the <b>percentile</b> where the day falls in it.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>So a 60° day can be “Above Normal” in one place or season and
|
|||
|
|
“Below Normal” in another. That's why the categories read
|
|||
|
|
“Above/Below Normal”, “High/Low”, and “Near Record” —
|
|||
|
|
never “hot” or “cold”.</p>

<h2>Rain intensity — percentile among rain days</h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p class="muted">Precipitation is graded only across days that actually saw rain, so
|

|
|
“Heavy” means heavy <i>for a rainy day here</i>. Dry days are colored by
|
|||
|
|
their dry streak instead (below).</p>

<dt>Feels</dt><dd>Apparent temperature — what the air actually felt like once humidity
|
|||
|
|
and wind are factored in. Every day has a felt <b>high</b> (heat-index territory) and a
|
|||
|
|
felt <b>low</b> (wind-chill territory); both are shown in the day tooltip, each graded
|
|||
|
|
against its own history. The Feels color uses whichever side sits <b>further from your
|
|||
|
|
comfort temperature</b> — set with the slider on the Calendar page (0–100°F,
|
|||
|
|
default 65°F) — so sweltering days grade by their felt high and bitter days by
|
|||
|
|
their felt low.</dd>
