How the live check works
Wind is the strongest suppressor. Humid, mild, sheltered periods push nuisance up. Exposure and moving air pull it down.
Around sunset matters more than sunrise for the user-facing warning. If live weather is unavailable, this route falls back to a seasonal location estimate rather than pretending the feed exists.
Planning reminder
Even a low live result can feel worse in sheltered lay-bys, campsite edges, and lochside pauses than it does on exposed ground.
Use the location guides for the broader terrain pattern, then use this route again right before you travel or stop.
