Common questions
Why does the result change when I change the activity?
A quick toilet break creates much less exertion than jogging, hiking or a long walk, so every hour is recalculated for the selected activity.
Can I check tomorrow?
Yes. The forecast covers up to 36 hours, so later hours can extend into the next day.
