Weather that helps you make plans · Updated October 10, 2026

Find a good time to get outside.

You have an activity in mind and a little time to spare. WeatherView helps you compare suitable times over the next 48 hours, with the conditions behind each suggestion. Free, ad-free and no account needed.

Find a time in the planner → · Choose your city

Start with the time you actually need

Choose an activity, a duration from 30 minutes to three hours, and daylight, night or any time. Suggestions use your selected location’s local time. Every forecast hour in an outing must meet the activity’s minimum fit, and the highest average fit comes first.

A suggestion is a comparison of forecast conditions, not a promise of dry weather or a safety assessment. No suitable result means no complete window fits your choices in the available forecast. Try a shorter duration or another time of day; missing data never counts as good weather.

Walks and dog walks

For a walk, compare feels-like temperature, rain chance and wind for the whole outing. A dry-looking starting hour is less useful if rain becomes more likely before you get home. Choose a shorter duration when your schedule is tight.

Running

A run uses a different comfort range from a relaxed walk. Compare the coolest-looking hours with feels-like temperature and wind, then choose the duration you need. The planner explains the highest hourly rain chance and wind within each result so you can judge the tradeoff.

Cycling

Wind matters alongside temperature and precipitation. The planner shows the highest forecast wind within a suggested ride. It does not evaluate your route, traffic, road surface, exposure or riding ability; check those separately.

Gardening and outdoor chores

Garden work needs daylight in WeatherView’s planner. Choose enough time to complete the task, then compare rain chance, wind and feels-like temperature across the full window. Soil conditions and the requirements of a particular job remain your own checks.

Planning ahead and checking radar do different jobs

The activity planner uses hourly forecasts for the next 48 hours. Radar shows precipitation echoes recently observed, and—where the North American government feed is available—projects their movement up to 72 minutes from the starting observation. The actual remaining future time is shown in the radar controls.

Radar projections do not predict new storms or how existing precipitation will grow or fade. Check the latest radar shortly before heading out, and read any official warnings. Elsewhere, or when projections are unavailable, the app explains the available recent radar.

Save a plan, then check it again

Each result can be downloaded as a calendar file for you to review, or shared as a planning link. Shared links restore the activity, duration and time-of-day choices and calculate new suggestions using the latest available forecast. A downloaded image or calendar event is a snapshot and does not update itself.
