Wet day: at least 0.01 inches (0.254 mm) of precipitation, including melted snow. This is not a rain-only count. Snowy day: at least 0.1 inches (2.54 mm) of new snowfall, not existing snow cover. Annual counts sum monthly average day counts; rare events may round to zero.
Highs and lows are averages of daily maximum and minimum temperatures, not record extremes. These are published 30-year climate normals, not a forecast. Recent years can be warmer or otherwise differ. Season labels summarise June–August highs and December–February lows.

How estimated
Evidence-adjusted career presence. The 0.88× headline is a modelled rating, not an observed employment rate.
Raw observed/expected ratio: 0.51×. The same continuous evidence adjustment applies to every school: 1 + evidence weight × (raw ratio − 1). Evidence weight: 0.238. Small expected cohorts and disagreement between cohort definitions reduce this weight. Traditional reputation does not change a direct rating.
With alternative stability settings, this rating ranges from 0.79× to 0.93×. This is a model-sensitivity check, not a confidence interval or range of hiring odds.
Position ranges group the model's ordering for readability; they are not statistical confidence intervals. Traditional reputation is a proxy, not evidence of placement in this industry or programme availability.
