How It's Calculated
Our walk score combines five real-time weather factors into a single 0–100 safety rating. The higher the score, the safer the walk.
Each score maps to a clear safety level so you know at a glance whether to walk, wait, or stay inside.
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.
