Dry Mixed Muddy

Before you ride, run or hike Posio-Salla

Is the whole route dry and open?

No opening status is verified here. This is a model estimate; local puddles, damage and closures may differ. Representative point; not verified weather coverage of every route section Follow land-manager notices.

When will this route dry?

A current surface score does not establish a drying time. Check the rainfall observation time, refresh stale inputs and review local reports before leaving.

6 /10
Plan for mixed conditions
Allow for damp or soft sections. Compare alternatives and check local reports before committing to an unpaved route.

How to use this estimate: Loamcast combines available weather, surface, soil, terrain, and hydrology signals to identify sections worth checking before a ride, run, or hike. It is a planning aid, not a physical inspection or safety guarantee.

Use judgment Expect mixed surface conditions. Avoid low spots and turn back if the surface is deforming under tyres.
Still drying Rain is mostly older, but the 48h total is 5.2 mm. Shaded sections may lag behind the headline score.
Soft-surface sensitivity This surface class can deteriorate quickly after rain; treat puddles and rutting as a stronger signal than the average score.

Inputs behind this estimate

  • Surface: holds water and can become muddy.
  • Recent rain: moderate rain (5.2 mm) in the last 48h; surface is still drying.
  • Terrain: unimproved track grade, prone to holding standing water.
  • Confidence: Medium — based on weather and terrain models; no recent user observations are available.

Condition Breakdown

Surface
Used as a drainage and grip modifier in the condition model.
 Earth
Road Solidity
Unconsolidated natural soil, highly deformable.
 Unimproved Earth
Moisture Sensitivity
Absorbs water quickly and turns soft. Dries slowly, especially under tree canopy.
 High
Rutting & Washout Risk
Damp or loose base. Risk of minor washouts, soft edges, and standing water puddles.
 Moderate
Recent rain
5.2 mm in 48h, 22.3 mm in 72h.
 0.0 mm / 24h
Temperature
Affects drying rate via surface evaporation.
 6.0 °C
Humidity
High relative humidity slows down surface moisture evaporation.
