How RideCast Works

A plain-English guide to every score and recommendation.

Ride Score

A score from 0–100 showing how comfortable and suitable the ride conditions are.

80–100Great ride

0–39Avoid if possible

Chance of Staying Dry

The estimated likelihood of completing your journey without significant rain along your route.

70–100%Good chance of staying dry
40–69%Possible rain
0–39%Likely to get wet

Wind Difficulty

Shows how much wind may affect your ride — including gusts and crosswinds.

LowMinimal impact
MediumNoticeable wind
HighDifficult riding conditions

Fastest Route

The quickest route available based on current routing data and your transport mode.

Driest Route

A route that may take slightly longer but aims to reduce the chance of riding through rain. RideCast compares the extra time against the improvement in dryness so you can decide if it's worth it.

Ride Verdict

RideCast's overall recommendation, based on:

Rain along the route
Wind and gusts
Temperature and feels-like
Route conditions and timing

You'll see a clear answer: leave now, wait, pick the driest route, or skip the ride.
