RealWeatherCheck: A Comfort Score for 4,876 U.S. Cities
A climate-comfort tool that turns each city's 30-year NOAA normals into a single score rather than forecasting tomorrow's weather.
Field notes
The calculation begins with a base of 40 and adjusts for four visible inputs: mild-month count, seasonal temperature range, rainfall, and snowfall. In the Denver example, five months fall between 55 and 75°F; 43°F of seasonal swing, 15.36 inches of rain, and 49 inches of snow bring the displayed result to 44/100. The page also separates this historical-normal comparison from live forecasting and points readers to weather.gov for that purpose.
