00:56which this is a very unique tool because it's a more descriptive and better way of
01:01characterizing the brightness of the day it's measured on the scale from one to ten
01:05where dark where one is a gray dark and dismal day and ten is a very bright day with blue skies no
01:12clouds no pollution and a high level of glare at sunrise and sunset and of course obviously with all the clouds
01:19and the rain that we're going to be dealing with into the day on Thursday that's a one I'll tap here over to
