How much of MarineRadar's audience is looking at the Strait of Hormuz, day by day. This is a measure of attention — typed searches and place opens on MarineRadar — and it is updated roughly every six hours.
Daily relative interest, 17 Aug – 14 Sept (UTC). Each day is scored 0–100 against the busiest day in this window, which is fixed at 100. The day still in progress (15 Sept) is excluded — a part-finished day always reads low and would look like a collapse.
