Each location is refreshed once every three hours. The hourly view, 7-day forecast, luck factor and packing notes come from the same stored update.
We compare the 7-day forecast with the version-matched historical observations available for the same time of year at Tarifa. The delta shows whether conditions look better, worse or about the same as a typical this time of year.
We score each day of the 7-day forecast using the same algorithm as the leaderboard, and highlight the highest scorer.
