Yesterday's Weather
Yesterday’s Weather is a Scrum pattern that helps Les équipes quickly calculate how many Points they will likely complete in the upcoming Sprint. The name comes from the fact that the best predictor of today’s weather is yesterday’s weather. In most cases, the number of Points completed in the last Sprint is the most reliable predictor of how many Points will be completed in the next Sprint.

Yesterday's Weather Overview:
During the next Sprint Planning, the team determines what the their percent capacity will be for the upcoming Sprint. If a fully staffed Team has five members who all work full time, but one team member will be absent for a day in the coming week-long Sprint, the team’s capacity will be 96%. (Be careful to only correct for major team member absences and not try to over-correct for minor changes in capacity.)
Finally, multiply the team’s normalized velocity by its percent capacity for the coming Sprint to determine the targeted points for the next Sprint. This technique is quick, accurate, and Jeff says that he would not run a Scrum without including this Pattern.
You may also want to factor in a Sprint buffer to account for Interruptions during the Sprint.
Here is Scrum Inc.'s Yesterday's Weather Tool. It does all the math for you.
