How it works
WalksBuddy scores the next 12 hours from five real-time weather factors, then turns that score into a clear answer: walk now, keep it short, wait, or stay in.
Every hour gets scored 0–100. We translate that into one of four decisions so you never have to interpret a number.
When the decision is “wait” or “not a good time,” we show the exact next safe window — not a vague “try again later.”
Each factor is weighted by how much it impacts your dog's safety and comfort during a walk.
The most important factor. Dogs are safest between 10–20°C. Above 30°C, pavement can burn paws.
Heavy rain reduces visibility and makes walks uncomfortable for both dogs and owners.
High humidity prevents dogs from cooling down through panting — the biggest hidden danger.
Moderate wind helps cooling. Strong gusts (30+ km/h) are uncomfortable and risky for small dogs.
High UV (6+) means intense sun. Pavement heats faster, and dogs with thin coats risk sunburn.
