The day is 3 min shorter than yesterday.

Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.

Geomagnetic fieldG1 geomagnetic storm, Kp 4.7

Kp index — NOAA forecast. Not part of the bite score: catches show no link between geomagnetic storms and the bite.

Major20:14–22:14Moon overhead

The windows are set by the moon's transit and rise, and the forecast above already accounts for them: within these hours the bite score sits higher than across the rest of the day, while the day's overall level still comes from the catch-calibrated model.
