As someone who has resided both in a foggy part of San Francisco and in Portland, I feel that this index doesn't adequately capture the dreariness of some SF neighborhoods.

Agreed. It doesn't seem right that San Francisco (famously foggy) is ranked less dreary than Denver (famously sunny 300 days a year* and quite arid).

*"300 days of sunshine per year" is frequently cited, even on the official Visit Denver website (https://www.denver.org/meetings/denver-info/weather/). Having lived in Denver for the last ~15 years, it is very sunny, but "300 days a year" stretches the truth just a bit.

I also live in a "300 days of sunshine" place - Bend, Oregon - where people have examined the number and found it to be a complete fabrication.

It seems that 100 or so years ago, promoters decided that was the magic number to attract people.

I think to adequately analyze San Francisco you need finer geographic resolution than this data allows.
