6 Scoring Factors
Weather
Rain probability, temperature, and wind. Bad weather lowers scores; optimal conditions add up to +15.
Day of Week
Fridays score highest (+20), Sundays lowest. Weekend patterns differ from weekday patterns.
Holidays
French public holidays (Zone A), bridge days, and school holidays tracked from the Ministry of Education.
Seasonality
Industry-specific seasonal patterns for Lyon restaurants and venues. High season, low season, in between.
Local Events
Confirmed city events from ONLYLYON, Eurexpo, OL, and Ville de Lyon. Major events add up to +15.
Holiday Proximity
Days just before or after a holiday period shift demand. The run-up to school holidays boosts traffic.
The Formula
Base 50 + Weather (±15) + Day of week (±20) + Holidays (±10) + Seasonality (±12) + Events (+5–15) + Proximity (±5)
