How the Comparison Works

🧮

Same Space Weather

Bz, solar wind speed, Bt and particle density are global — identical for all Iceland locations at any given moment.

☁️

Local Cloud Cover

The biggest difference between locations. Cloud data is fetched separately for each town's GPS coordinates from Open-Meteo.

📊

Combined Score

Our 0–100 score weights Bz (45%), wind speed (25%), Bt (15%), density (5%), and cloud cover (10%) — applied locally per location.

🔄

Refreshes Every 2 Min

Solar wind data updates every 2 minutes. Cloud cover refreshes every 15 minutes. Scores update automatically.
