| Metric | Why it decides the day |
|---|---|
| Daily mean temperature | Full credit between 15°C and 25°C; sharp penalties below 0°C or above 35°C. |
| Rain probability | Under 20% is a clean go; 70% or higher removes the day from outdoor consideration. |

| Daylight and sunset | Determines how late outdoor plans can run. |
