I am trying to develop a single score, similar to BMI, for a place's "goodness of weather".

Yes, I am well-aware that BMI is flawed. But its simplicity is useful.

The data available to me are:

- MAX TEMP (°F)

- MIN TEMP (°F)

- AVG TEMP (°F)

- PRECIP (IN)

- SNOW (IN)

- Standard Deviation of each of the above.

Data are available for tens of thousands of weather stations in the USA, and are available in the following bin-sizes: annual, monthly, daily, hourly.

I think I want to use monthly data.

BMI is calculated as: weight in kilograms (kg) divided by height in meters, squared (m2).

In your opinion, what should the formula for "goodness of weather" look like?

(Of course, people will disagree on what constitutes good weather. Some like San Diego weather, some like Denver weather.
