Questions

How muddy will the cyclocross course be?

The forecast adds up the rain of the 7 days before the start, letting each hour's rain fade as the course dries (faster when it is mild and windy), adds GFS topsoil wetness and any rain forecast during the race, and gives a simple call: Dry and fast, Tacky, Muddy, Heavy mud or Frozen. It is a rules-based guide, not a guarantee.

Which weather models are used?

Each race's forecast joins three models hour by hour: the Met Office UKV (about 2 km) from now where the venue is inside its area, then the Met Office Global model up to 7 days ahead, then NOAA GFS up to about 16 days ahead. The chart shows which model each hour came from.

How far ahead is there a forecast?

About 16 days, the length of the GFS forecast. Races further ahead show 'No forecast currently available' and the date when a forecast should appear.

Which races are covered?

The X2O Badkamers Trofee, Telenet Superprestige, UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup, UEC European Championships and UCI World Championships, from the official series calendars.

Is it free?

Yes. There is no sign-up and no account.
