Runner on trail at golden hour

Find your best outdoor window to run, ride, or hike.

A thermometer can't tell you when to go out today. GoWindow looks at every daylight hour and picks the one that actually fits what you're doing.

For runners, riders, hikers

One window, picked for what you're doing today

Tell it your sport and how long you want to be out — 1 to 4 hours. It ranks the next three days against what that sport actually needs, then points at the best stretch.

directions_run

Different sport, different score

Heat and dew point matter most for running. Wind and gusts decide a ride. UV and visibility carry more weight on a hike. The scoring changes with the activity.

thermostat

More than one number

Apparent temperature, dew point, wind, gusts, and what's coming in the next couple of hours of precipitation. Weighed together, the way you actually feel them.

health_and_safety

The risks a forecast tends to bury

UV load, heat stress, thunderstorm timing, and air quality when smoke or haze are around. If conditions get risky, the score moves.

schedule

Open it, see the window, go

Today's window is right there on the first screen. No scrubbing through hourly charts to figure out what it means.

What we look at

Comfort

Apparent temperature, dew point, wind, gusts. Whether the air outside is the kind you want to move in.

Hazards

Precipitation timing, UV, heat stress (WBGT), thunderstorm timing. The stuff that turns a planned session into a bad idea.

Air

AQI for outdoor effort, with attention to smoke and haze days. It's one signal among many, not the headline.
