DETAILED ACTIVITY INTELLIGENCE

The reasons behind the numbers.

DRONE · factors and limitations

Wind, gusts, gust spread, rain, visibility, temperature, daylight and available Kp data determine the score. Thunderstorms, precipitation and planning limits cap suitability. Cloud base is not supplied by these feeds. Check airspace, permissions and manufacturer limits separately.

01:00: Darkness: this planner recommends daylight flying.

RIDE · factors and limitations

Temperature, wind, rain, daylight and available rainfall history affect suitability. Trail wetness is an estimate; drainage and surface conditions vary. Frost, storms and strong gusts cap scores.

01:00: Weather-only ride score; ground condition unknown because 72-hour rainfall history is incomplete.

HIKE · factors and limitations

Feels-like temperature, wind, gusts, rain, daylight and available visibility guide a daylight walking profile. Heat, cold, frost, storms and exposed terrain require extra judgement.

01:00: Darkness limits this daylight walking profile.

CAMP · factors and limitations

Night temperatures, gusts, rain, humidity and temperature–dew point spread guide pitching and overnight comfort. The card uses the sunset-to-sunrise forecast period; the heat map shows individual hours. Condensation outdoors does not measure tent or vehicle interior humidity.

01:00: Damp air near its dew point raises condensation potential.

PHOTO · factors and limitations

Solar elevation, cloud, visibility, rain and changing light guide photography potential. Available cloud layers are shown above; actual cloud texture and horizon breaks cannot be predicted precisely.

01:00: Cloud and visibility offer a guide; cloud texture is not directly measured.

ABOUT THIS FORECAST // SOURCES AND METHOD

MET Norway coordinate forecast + DWD via Bright Sky · SHAWBURY · 42 km away · last successful retrieval 5 Nov 2026, 01:43 · current model time 01:00 · Stafford, Staffordshire (52.789, -2.040).

The position queries a forecast grid, not a sensor at your exact spot. Terrain, exposure and local showers can differ. Retrieval time is not the model run time. Refreshes every 15 minutes while this page is open. Missing values stay unavailable.

Regional station forecast: SHAWBURY, 42 km from your location. Rain risk uses the supplied six-hour probability where hourly probability is absent; it is not an hourly prediction. Humidity is calculated from temperature / dew point when needed. Sunrise / sunset are calculated. Trail scores use weather alone until 72-hour rainfall history is complete; UV, feels-like and cloud layers may be unavailable.

0–48h temperature, rain, wind, pressure, humidity and cloud: coordinate feed. Solar, visibility, rain probability and missing gusts: regional station. Later hours: regional forecast.

Activity scores are explainable planning estimates. Drone / ride / photo use the established NIX models; hike weights comfort and dryness at 35% each and wind at 30%; camp weights comfort and gusts at 30% each, dryness at 25% and condensation at 15%. Missing condensation inputs are excluded and labelled. Severe modelled conditions cap scores.

Official warnings: The UK national warning feed is available. This feed does not supply a verified local warning area, so national entries are kept here rather than presented as local alerts.
