The weather app for the dirt

Recent rain, modeled soil, and trail judgment.

Knowday models soil moisture near you and the last day's rain — forecast context for trail readiness, not a surface observation. Inspect the trail, check local reports, and use your judgment before you ride.

What matters on the trail

The reads that decide the dirt.

What does the soil model suggest?

Moisture context

This is the one most apps miss. Knowday models soil moisture near you from recent rain and drying — forecast context, not a trail sensor. Inspect the trail, check local reports, and use your judgment before you ride.

How recently it rained

Rain 24h

Overnight rain can raise modeled trail-moisture risk even under a blue sky. Knowday watches the last 24 hours of rain; inspect the trail and check local reports.

Don't ride it muddy

Skip when wet

Riding a fragile trail tears ruts that last all season. When recent rain and modeled moisture look too high, Knowday says Skip — for the trail's sake, not just yours. Still confirm on site.

Heat and wind for the climb

Feels-like

The feels-like for the effort and the wind for the exposed ridgelines — the comfort reads that round out a long ride.

How it works

How Knowday thinks about mountain biking.

Soil moisture is the deciding signal — it's modeled, not sensed, so Knowday is upfront: the dirt is read near you, not measured on your exact trail, and clay holds water longer than the model assumes. Pair it with a quick check of local trail reports.

The 24-hour rain, feels-like, and wind round out the call.

Mountain biking is one of sixteen plans Knowday reads — walks and rides, the lawn, the garden, camping, the night sky, and the water.
