Why this score?
Not much to see — held back by low cloud blocking the horizon. — US National Weather Service, today
The sun sets at 264° — W on the compass.
We haven't hand-picked spots here yet — but the rule holds anywhere: find the highest open place with a clear view west. A west-facing waterfront, a rooftop, or a hilltop park all work. The fewer buildings between you and the horizon, the better the color.
