Weather Types Tier List
Weather is the only thing everyone experiences daily and nobody ranks, which makes this a surprisingly good argument. Twelve conditions, unranked, judged on how they feel, what they cancel, and how they look from a window. All twelve entries begin in Unranked, so the ordering is entirely yours: drag or tap into S–F, rename the rows, share the link or export a PNG.

How this board is built: the 12 tiles are an editorial starting set, not an official roster and not a published ranking — every entry waits in Unranked until you place it. Item tiles are original pictograms or two-letter emblems drawn for this site rather than character artwork, film stills or club logos, so nothing here is licensed material reused from a rights holder. Tiers you set are your own judgement.
What's included in this Weather Types board
The board arrives with all 12 entries present as tiles and none of them assigned to a tier. That is deliberate: a template that opens with a finished ranking only invites you to agree or disagree with whoever made it, whereas an empty ladder makes you commit to an ordering of your own. Drag a tile onto a row, or on a phone tap the tile and then the tier you want. You can add rows for extra categories, rename the standard ones, and remove any entry you do not recognise — a list you can defend is more useful than a long one you cannot.
How to rank this Weather Types board
Rank how it feels to be outside first, not how it looks in a photograph. Rain is miserable on a commute and pleasant on a Sunday; that difference is the whole ranking. Then weigh what it does to your plans — cancellations, delays, and whether you have to change clothes. Third, judge how it looks, which is a legitimate criterion because most weather is experienced through a window. Finish by separating the first hour from the third day. Snow is magical until the city stops working, and a heatwave is lovely until it is not, so decide which stage you are scoring.
Using the board without over-thinking it
Most people finish a board like this in a couple of minutes and then reorder the middle rows for another ten. That middle is where the honest disagreement lives, so do not rush it: place the obvious top three and the obvious bottom three first, then work inward. If two entries still feel identical, that is a real observation — say so in a row note or a text tile rather than inventing a difference. When the ordering settles, export the PNG so the arrangement is saved somewhere permanent, and copy the share link if you want someone else to argue with it.

Before you share it
Put your criterion in the board title, so a reader knows whether they are looking at a favourites list or an analytical one. If the subject changes with patches, seasons or releases, add the date. And remember the share link carries tier names, colours and the tile order — uploaded photos stay on your device, so export a PNG when those matter.

Is this ranked by climate or by day?
By day. A climate is a statistic; the board is about the experience of stepping outside, which is what people actually argue about.
Where does a rainbow belong?
High on looks, low on duration. It is the clearest example of why the three criteria should stay separate.
