+  <h2>Forecast profiles</h2>
+  <p>
+    SunScope organises its columns into <strong>profiles</strong> — curated sets of data tailored
+    to different activities and use cases. Rather than showing every column at once, each profile
+    surfaces the information that actually matters for that situation. You can switch profiles
+    using the row of buttons above the forecast table, or switch to <strong>Custom</strong> to
+    pick individual columns yourself.

+  <div class="profile-block">
+    <p class="profile-name">🏙️ Urban</p>
+    <p>
+      Designed for anyone moving around a city on foot — commuting, shopping, sightseeing.
+      The urban environment creates its own microclimate: buildings channel wind into gusts down
+      narrow streets, concrete absorbs heat all day and radiates it back long after sunset, and
+      the lack of vegetation means there's no evaporative cooling. The Urban profile shows
+      <strong>air temperature</strong>, <strong>wind speed and direction</strong> (useful for
+      finding sheltered routes), <strong>cloud cover</strong>, <strong>UV-A index</strong> and
+      <strong>burn time</strong> for sun protection, <strong>UTCI+P</strong> for overall felt
+      comfort, <strong>precipitation</strong>, and <strong>concrete surface temperature</strong>
+      — the heat radiating up from pavement that standard forecasts completely ignore.

+    <p class="profile-name">🌾 Farming</p>
+    <p>
+      Built for anyone working the land — farmers, growers, and market gardeners. Decision-making
+      in agriculture is driven by conditions at ground level, not just the air. The Farming profile
+      shows <strong>air temperature</strong>, <strong>relative humidity</strong> and
+      <strong>dew point</strong> (critical for frost risk assessment and disease pressure on crops),
+      <strong>wind speed and direction</strong> (essential for safe spraying windows),
+      <strong>cloud cover</strong> and <strong>sun elevation</strong> for light levels,
+      <strong>UTCI</strong> for heat stress on the person working outdoors,
+      <strong>precipitation</strong>, and the three soil columns:
+      <strong>surface soil temperature</strong>, <strong>soil temperature at 6 cm</strong>
+      (the root zone for most seedlings), and <strong>soil moisture</strong> — so you know
+      whether the ground is workable or waterlogged before you head out.

+    <p class="profile-name">⛵ Sailing</p>
+    <p>
+      Wind is everything on the water, and the conditions out at sea can be dramatically different
+      from what the shore feels like. The Sailing profile leads with what matters most:
+      <strong>air temperature</strong> (hypothermia is a real risk — water conducts heat away from
+      the body twenty-five times faster than air), <strong>dew point</strong> (condensation on
+      sails and equipment is a practical concern at dawn and dusk), <strong>wind speed</strong>
+      with gusts, <strong>wind direction</strong>, <strong>cloud cover</strong>, and
+      <strong>sun elevation</strong> for visibility and glare. UV exposure is significantly higher
+      on open water due to reflection off the surface, so <strong>UV-A index</strong> and
+      <strong>burn time</strong> are included. <strong>UTCI+P</strong> captures the combined
+      misery of wet, windy conditions, and <strong>precipitation</strong> rounds out the picture
+      for passage planning.

+    <p class="profile-name">🚗 Vehicle</p>
+    <p>
+      Covers the parked and travelling vehicle experience — especially useful for anyone with
+      children or pets, motorhome travellers, and caravan owners. The headline column is
+      <strong>vehicle interior temperature</strong>: a physics-based estimate of how hot the
+      cabin gets when parked and sealed, adjusted for your chosen vehicle type (car, MPV, SUV,
+      motorhome, or caravan). <strong>Wind speed</strong> is included because it matters
+      significantly for high-sided vehicles and caravans. <strong>Cloud cover</strong> and
+      <strong>air temperature</strong> give context, <strong>precipitation</strong> covers
+      driving conditions, and <strong>UTCI+P</strong> tells you what it will feel like when
+      you step outside. <strong>Soil moisture</strong> is included specifically for motorhome
+      and caravan users — values above 0.4 m³/m³ indicate saturated ground where pitching
+      or manoeuvring is likely to cause problems.

+  <div class="profile-block">
+    <p class="profile-name">🏠 Home</p>
+    <p>
+      For managing indoor comfort without air conditioning — the typical UK home scenario.
+      The two indoor temperature columns are central: <strong>Indoors</strong> estimates the
+      ambient temperature inside a typical brick house with windows closed and no active cooling,
+      accounting for wall conduction, window solar gain, and thermal mass (indoor temperatures
+      usually peak 2–4 hours after the outdoor peak). <strong>Managed indoors</strong> shows
+      what you could achieve by following standard heatwave advice — closing curtains to block
+      direct solar gain and opening windows whenever the outdoor air is cooler than inside.
+      Supporting columns include <strong>air temperature</strong>, <strong>relative humidity</strong>
+      and <strong>dew point</strong> (important for condensation and mould risk in cooler months),
+      <strong>wind speed</strong> for ventilation decisions, <strong>cloud cover</strong>,
+      and <strong>precipitation</strong> — so you know whether to open the windows or bring
+      the washing in.

+  <table class="stress-table col-ref-table">
+    <thead>
+      <tr><th>Column</th><th>What it shows</th></tr>
+    </thead>
+    <tbody>
+      <tr><td><strong>Air °C</strong></td><td>Standard air temperature at 2 m above ground — the thermometer reading. Does not account for sun, wind, or humidity.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>RH %</strong></td><td>Relative humidity: how much moisture the air holds as a percentage of its maximum capacity at that temperature. High RH makes warm days feel stickier and cold days feel rawer.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>Dew Point</strong></td><td>The temperature at which air becomes saturated and moisture begins to condense. Above 16 °C it starts to feel muggy; above 21 °C it feels oppressive. A better measure of absolute humidity than RH.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>Wind</strong></td><td>Mean wind speed at 10 m, with peak gust in brackets where significantly higher. Wind is the primary driver of wind chill — a key ingredient in the UTCI calculation.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>Dir</strong></td><td>The compass direction the wind is blowing from, shown as an arrow and abbreviated label. Useful for route planning and spray timing.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>Cloud</strong></td><td>Total cloud cover as a percentage of sky. High cloud blocks solar radiation, reducing daytime heating and UV exposure.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>Sun °</strong></td><td>The angle of the sun above the horizon in degrees. Below 0° the sun has set. The higher the elevation, the more intense the radiation reaching the ground.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>Direct W/m²</strong></td><td>Shortwave solar radiation arriving as a direct beam from the sun. The primary driver of skin heating on sunny days.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>Diffuse W/m²</strong></td><td>Solar radiation scattered from all directions across the sky. Present even under cloud cover; contributes to the overall solar heat load.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>Tmrt °C</strong></td><td>Mean Radiant Temperature — the temperature your skin effectively "sees" from all surrounding surfaces and the sun combined. Can exceed air temperature by 20–30 °C on a sunny day; this is why shade feels so much cooler.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>UTCI−Air Δ</strong></td><td>The gap between the UTCI felt temperature and the plain air temperature. A large positive value means solar radiation is adding significant heat stress beyond what the thermometer shows.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>UTCI °C</strong></td><td>Universal Thermal Climate Index — the raw felt temperature combining air temp, humidity, wind, and solar radiation. Does not include precipitation effects.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>UV-A</strong></td><td>Estimated UV-A radiation index. UV-A penetrates deeper into the skin and contributes to long-term ageing and some skin cancers, even through glass. Present throughout daylight hours.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>UV-B</strong></td><td>Estimated UV-B radiation index. Causes sunburn and drives vitamin D production. Intensity falls sharply at low solar elevations due to the longer atmospheric path length.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>Burn time</strong></td><td>Estimated time to reach one Minimal Erythemal Dose (MED) — the threshold for sunburn — based on the UV index and your selected Fitzpatrick skin type. A guide, not a medical measurement.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>UTCI+P °C</strong></td><td>SunScope's adjusted felt temperature: UTCI plus the soak-factor penalty for rain and snow. Wet clothing and skin can reduce the effective felt temperature by up to 8 °C in heavy, windy rain.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>Precip mm</strong></td><td>Expected rainfall or snowfall in mm per hour. Even light drizzle meaningfully reduces felt temperature when combined with wind.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>Soil °C surface</strong></td><td>Temperature of the soil at the surface (0 cm depth). Most seeds germinate above 7–10 °C. Useful for sowing decisions and frost assessment.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>Soil °C 6 cm</strong></td><td>Soil temperature at 6 cm depth — the root zone for many crops and seedlings. Lags behind the surface by several hours.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>Soil moisture</strong></td><td>Volumetric water content of the top 1 cm of soil in m³/m³. Above 0.4 indicates saturated ground; below 0.2 is dry. Useful for assessing whether ground is workable, and for motorhome or caravan pitch suitability.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>Concrete °C</strong></td><td>Estimated temperature of sun-exposed urban paving. Concrete absorbs more solar energy than grass and cannot cool itself through evaporation — surface temps can run 15–25 °C above air temperature on sunny days.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>Vehicle °C</strong></td><td>Estimated ambient cabin temperature inside a sealed, parked vehicle — adjusted for your chosen vehicle type. Values above 35 °C are dangerous for children and pets; above 45 °C potentially fatal within minutes.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>Indoors °C</strong></td><td>Estimated temperature inside a typical UK brick house with windows closed and no active cooling. Accounts for wall conduction, window solar gain, and thermal mass — indoor peak typically lags the outdoor peak by 2–4 hours.</td></tr>
+      <tr><td><strong>Managed °C</strong></td><td>Estimated indoor temperature following standard UK heatwave advice: curtains closed during the day to block solar gain, windows opened whenever outdoor air is cooler than inside. Shows the benefit of passive cooling over doing nothing.</td></tr>
