Finds days matching one or more compound weather conditions (e.g. hot + humid, rainy + windy) for a location. Returns up to 5000 most-recent matching events plus the total count. <br><b>When to use:</b> Count occurrences of compound weather events across years, study extreme or unusual day combinations, or identify streaks of such events. <br><b>Date format:</b> year_start/year_end as YYYY; month_day_start/month_day_end as MMDD for seasonal filtering within each year. <br><b>Performance:</b> Computed on demand; returns up to 5000 most-recent matches. <br><b>Prerequisites:</b> Use /location to obtain a locid first. <br><b>Investigate:</b> Use when the query involves compound conditions — 'how many days had both extreme heat and thunderstorms?' Combine numeric and condition metrics with AND/OR logic. <br><b>Augment:</b> Provides event frequency counts for framing rarity in a story ('only 3 such days in the past 20 years'). <br><b>Notes:</b> Numeric metrics: cloudiness, dewp, dpd, gust, hail_size, hi, insolation, max_dewp, max_dpd, max_hi, max_t, max_wbgt, max_wbulb, max_wind, min_dewp, min_t, min_wchill, rain, rain_12hr, rain_1hr, rain_3hr, rain_6hr, snow, snow_12hr, snow_1hr, snow_3hr, snow_6hr, snow_depth, temp, visibility, wbgt, wbulb, wchill, wind, wind_dir. Condition metrics: is_drizzle, is_dust, is_duststorm, is_fog, is_frozen_rain, is_funnel_cloud, is_hail, is_haze, is_heavy_rain, is_heavy_snow, is_ice_pellets, is_mist, is_rain, is_smoke, is_snow, is_squall, is_thunderstorm. Do not specify lower or upper bound when dealing with absolutes unless it is required. Sensible defaults are populated automatically and if the values provided fall out of those, the request is deemed invalid. Returns: locid, name, total_events, events, datestamp, max_t, max_t_complete, min_t, min_t_complete, rain, rain_complete, snow, temp, dewp, wind, max_wind, gust, conditions, criteria_met.
