Scoring

How the Fireworks Index works

0–100. The Fireworks Index is the expected share of a perfect show: it multiplies whether the show fires at all (launch gate) by how much of an ideal display you would actually see (sky quality, smoke clearance, darkness). A score of 80 means you’d experience about 80% of a theoretically perfect fireworks display given the forecast conditions.

Four gates feed the score: Sky (cloud cover and ceiling — can you see the shells?), Smoke (air clearance for visibility), Dark (how dark the sky is at show time, after sunset), and Launch (go/delay based on wind, lightning risk, and fire danger). Scores are computed from the Tomorrow.io forecast for the exact show window at each venue’s location.

Sources. Show schedule: NFPA 1123 corpus (1,667 verified shows). Fire risk: Keetch–Byram Drought Index. Sunset timing: NOAA Solar Calculator. Forecast: Tomorrow.io Weather API.
