Usual-window destinations appear first, then fewer wet days, then lower monthly rain, with names breaking ties. Every ordering rule is visible here; it says nothing about roads or live conditions.

Twelve of 22 destinations appear here.

The other 10 have no weather station that represents their base within 60 km and 100 m of its altitude, so no climate is published for them at all rather than borrowing a distant or wrong-altitude station. Each of those guides explains which test it failed.
