What do the colours and weather icons mean?
Each day's climate score (0–100) is the Marketing Climate reading for that day: the volume and importance of marketing developments, shaped by the strongest stories rather than a simple article count.
- Cool — A quiet day with few notable developments.
- Building — Activity picking up, with a steady flow of developments.
- Warm — A busy day with several important developments.
- Hot — A very active day shaped by strong developments.
- Exceptional — An unusually intense day for the marketing landscape.
Temperature (the colour) describes how intense the day was. Weather (the icon) shows whether disruptive or unusually significant events were present.
- Clear
- Storms on the horizon
- Storm clouds
- Storm
- Severe storm
So a busy day isn't necessarily a turbulent one: lots of steady news can run hot under clear skies, while a quieter day can still bring a storm.
