What goes into the score
Rain in the last 48 hours and rain in the next few hours both matter. Wet patios and damp gardens drag the score down quickly.
Feels-like temperature, wind, gusts, sunlight, daylight and a short usable window decide whether standing outside feels sensible. Family BBQ mode and big cookout mode tighten the rules.
Pollen is advisory rather than scored, but high pollen is still flagged for hay-fever sufferers. Wind direction is also shown so you can keep smoke away from guests and neighbours.
