The conditions story
Based on weather records at this location, peaks of 26°C with 0 consecutive days over 35°C drive the 9.3 score. Overnight lows of 15°C either give bodies a chance to cool off or compound the heat load.
A UV mean of 0.0 and a cooling breeze of 17 km/h are the modifiers that push the number up or down on the day. Shade access and water points usually matter more than the temperature gauge itself.
