Decide with context

Why you can trust the result

Historical climate data

Monthly hiking conditions are derived from long-term climate records, not marketing copy.

Selected-cell scope

Each current destination uses one selected representative ERA5-Land model-grid cell, not a whole-region or route average.

Transparent scoring

Temperature, rain, snow, heat, coarse grid-cell wind and daylight remain visible behind every score.

Clear limitations

Climate suitability is not a forecast. Current weather, trail and safety information still matter.
