Plan an outing in Germany

For a commute, compare your actual departure and return times rather than the best-looking hour of the day. For a longer ride, use the route planner and a realistic average speed. Check the destination forecast as well as the start: one city point is not a forecast for every kilometre.

The score cannot see surface grip, floodwater, traffic, the shelter along a cycle path or your bike-handling ability. It does not model how wind direction changes effort on the outward and return legs.

Understand the coverage

Berlin covers the point in Berlin at 52.5200, 13.4050 (Europe/Berlin); Munich covers the point in Bavaria at 48.1351, 11.5820 (Europe/Berlin); Hamburg covers the point in Hamburg at 53.5511, 9.9937 (Europe/Berlin); Cologne covers the point in North Rhine-Westphalia at 50.9375, 6.9603 (Europe/Berlin). The weather between these points is not interpolated by this comparison. Different verdicts are meaningful differences between forecast inputs, not a ranking of which city is generally better.

Before choosing a time

Inspect why an hour loses points, not only its colour.
The next window may occur at night; check daylight and the full length of your outing.
Use the city tool to inspect later hours or search for an exact location.
Check official warnings and local restrictions separately.
