Emi Griffith cde03de0f0 Fold the mobile header into a single hamburger menu (#119)
On phones the header spanned two rows: the title block plus a control bar of
the °F/°C toggle, bell, account and hamburger. Wrap the nav in a .nav-panel
inside the <details> menu and inject the °F/°C toggle and account/bell into that
panel instead of into the header row. On desktop the panel is display:contents,
so the inline top bar renders exactly as before (order restored via flex order);
on phones the panel becomes a right-anchored, viewport-clamped dropdown and the
header collapses to a single row (logo + name + hamburger, tagline hidden).

The viewport clamp also fixes the SEO/city pages, whose menu dropdown previously
ran off-screen.

<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 &plusmn;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&deg; day can be &ldquo;Above Normal&rdquo; in one place or season and
&ldquo;Below Normal&rdquo; in another. That's why the categories read
&ldquo;Above/Below Normal&rdquo;, &ldquo;High/Low&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Near Record&rdquo;
never &ldquo;hot&rdquo; or &ldquo;cold&rdquo;.</p>

<h2>Rain intensity — percentile among rain days</h2>
<p class="muted">Precipitation is graded only across days that actually saw rain, so
&ldquo;Heavy&rdquo; means heavy <i>for a rainy day here</i>. Dry days are colored by
their dry streak instead (below).</p>
