Climate Comfort Hours

Turns 72-hour Open-Meteo forecasts into an hourly comparative outdoor-comfort map for 27 cities, with a permanent Siracusa focus, rotating city focus and explicit dominant issues.

1 · In one sentence

Turns 72-hour Open-Meteo forecasts into an hourly comparative outdoor-comfort map for 27 cities, with a permanent Siracusa focus, rotating city focus and explicit dominant issues.

2 · Why it exists

Make the next 72 outdoor hours readable across many cities without turning a communication index into advice or an alert.

3 · What it produces

24 hourly cells per city, 0–100 comfort score, comfort hours/best window, dominant issue, wind and waves where available, 72h cards and IT/EN threads.

The cards expose multiple views of the same workflow so result, method, evidence and history remain distinct. Site preview images use synthetic data (simulated data); operational runs acquire real provider forecasts.

4 · How it works

Multi-city hourly forecast + transparent heuristic score + semantic priority + graceful degradation

1Open-Meteo forecast and marine: apparent/air temperature, RH, dew point, precipitation, snow, wind/gust/direction, WMO code, radiation and waves for compatible coastal cities
2transparent 0–100 heuristic score; semantic priority for thunderstorm, snow, rain, heat, cold, wind, fog, humidity and comfort; best contiguous window
3independent city/day validation, batch→recent cache→single retry, grey cells for missing data, publication only with 4 core cities and at least 80% of the basket
4Persistence, rendering and governed publishing.

5 · Data and signals

ElementDetail
Data and signalsOpen-Meteo forecast and marine: apparent/air temperature, RH, dew point, precipitation, snow, wind/gust/direction, WMO code, radiation and waves for compatible coastal cities
Industrial transferabilityoutdoor planning, territorial communication, tourism and non-operational weather dashboards
Researchpenalty sensitivity, class robustness and comparison with appropriate bioclimatic indices
Interpretation conditionnot a medical index, PMV/PPD, UTCI, weather alert or normative indoor-comfort metric
6 · Inference / calculation

transparent 0–100 heuristic score; semantic priority for thunderstorm, snow, rain, heat, cold, wind, fog, humidity and comfort; best contiguous window

7 · Validation

independent city/day validation, batch→recent cache→single retry, grey cells for missing data, publication only with 4 core cities and at least 80% of the basket

8 · Automation and stack

Python, requests, pytz, Pillow, GitHub Actions, AT Protocol/Bluesky

9 · Limitations

treating the score as clinical risk, meteoropathy, official warning or indoor comfort; local microclimate and personal variables are not modelled
