Frequently Asked Questions

VanSky Index

A weather comfort index for travel: a 0–100 score. Recalculated daily from live weather data — temperature, rainfall, wind and sun.

80–100Ideal
60–79Comfortable
40–59Acceptable
20–39Challenging
0–19Extreme
How it's calculated:
Thermal comfort 35% — temperature + humidity
Sunshine 25% — panel charge, mood; in heat the sun is no longer a bonus
Precipitation 25% — rain → muddy ground
Wind 15% — awning, driving, noise
Extremes override all: frost, heat, storm, downpour
Heat counts by feels-like temperature: at 32°+ the score can’t reach “Comfortable”, muggy nights lower it further
A dangerous day drags the week down: a storm or downpour in the forecast keeps the week from being “Comfortable”
Bonus: warm sea, high panel output
Data: Open-Meteo · Updated several times a day
VanSky index for Antanandava, Madagascar — 68 out of 100 (Comfortable). Decide in seconds: temperature, precipitation, wind and solar output. Data refreshed several times a day from real weather observations. Forecast updated 28 Oct, 05:10 UTC.
