Under the hood

Not just a weather app

Standard weather apps tell you it's 12°C and partly cloudy. That tells you nothing useful as a runner. RunnerCast weighs the factors that actually affect how a run feels and combines them into a single score you can act on.

🌡️
Temperature and feels-like
Accounts for wind chill and humidex, not just the raw reading
High
💧
Humidity
High humidity raises perceived exertion and slows your cooling
High

Wind speed and direction
Headwind costs more energy; tailwind is a bonus, not a rescue
Medium
🌧️
Precipitation
Light rain is fine. Driving rain or freezing conditions are scored accordingly
Medium

UV index
High UV in summer heat compounds heat stress significantly
Low

Air quality (AQI)
Poor air hits harder at running pace than it does at rest

Features

Built around your run, not the forecast

Hyperlocal scoring

Score is generated for your exact location, not the nearest weather station 15km away. Conditions vary — RunnerCast keeps up.

⚙️
Personalised thresholds

Some runners love the cold. Some melt at 20°C. Adjust how the algorithm weights each factor to match your own preferences.

Effort adjustment tips

When conditions are rough but you're running anyway, RunnerCast suggests how much to dial back your target pace for the heat, wind, or humidity.

The score

A number you can actually act on

70–100
Good

Conditions are working in your favour. Run as planned. A great day to push effort or go long.

40–69
Fair

Runnable, but something is working against you. Adjust your expectations and pay attention to how you feel.

0–39
Poor

Conditions are genuinely bad. Consider a rest day, a treadmill, or a shorter effort than planned.

The score is not a gate — it's information. Plenty of runners bank their best sessions in a score-60 drizzle. RunnerCast gives you the picture; you make the call.
