The video tutorial explains how to determine the number of days that experienced either rain or high winds using a Venn diagram. It starts by introducing the problem, where 17 days saw rain, 11 days saw high winds, and 4 days saw both. The tutorial then demonstrates how to use set theory to calculate the number of days that saw only rain, only high winds, and both. By subtracting the intersection from the total days in each set, the tutorial concludes that 24 days saw either rain or high winds.
