Best working windows this week

Seven days at a glance

Each strip is one day of daylight, an hour per block. Pick a day to see the hours, the charts and the reasons behind its score.

  • Good
  • Fair
  • Poor
  • Stand down
  • Working window
How the scores work
  • Every daylight hour is checked against four limits: rain chance, rain amount, gusts and temperature. The hour scores 100 with no strain on any limit, 50 at a limit, and falls towards 0 beyond it.
  • A working window is a run of hours that all stay inside the limits and is long enough for the job. Hours that have already passed today never count.
  • A day’s score blends its average hour (40%) with the length and quality of its best window (60%). A day with no window is a stand-down.

Weather data by Open-Meteo.com. Postcode lookup by postcodes.io.

Forecasts change. Check again on the morning of the job. Open-Meteo’s free service is for non-commercial use, so a client build would use a commercial plan or self-hosted data.

What this demonstrates

Dashboards built on free live data that answer one business question.

  • Two free, keyless APIs (postcodes.io and Open-Meteo) called from the browser, with loading, error and labelled sample-data states
  • A scoring model that turns hourly rain, wind and temperature into a go or stand-down call for each trade
  • Working-window detection: runs of workable daylight hours long enough to fit a job
  • Rain, wind and temperature charts drawn by hand in SVG, with no chart library
  • Limits that change per trade and can be tuned, the kind of rules a real build takes from a client’s own job sheets
