Dry Mixed Muddy

Before you ride, run or hike Hovedturløypa

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.

Length: 8.15 km

Surface Score
4 /10
Plan for wet or muddy sections
The model indicates elevated surface risk. Consider a firmer alternative and avoid damaging soft trails; follow local closures and advice.

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.

Wait for drying The current model state points to wet or muddy conditions. Riding may be slow and damaging.
Soft-surface sensitivity This surface class can deteriorate quickly after rain; treat puddles and rutting as a stronger signal than the average score.
Recorded model / page update: 2026-09-26 09:01 CEST (Europe/Oslo) Rainfall observation time: 2026-09-26T07:00:00Z Weather status: fresh History: 7 recorded days

Inputs behind this estimate

  • Surface: holds water and can become muddy.
  • Recent rain: no measurable rain in the last 24h.
  • Terrain: forest cover reduces sun exposure, slowing down surface drying.
  • 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.
 Ground
Road Solidity
Loose soil or sand, deforms under pressure.
 Soft / Loose Earth
Moisture Sensitivity
Absorbs water quickly and turns soft. Dries slowly, especially under tree canopy.
 High
Rutting & Washout Risk
Dry or paved base. Minimal risk of ruts, pooling, or washouts.
 Low
Recent rain
2.5 mm in 48h, 25.1 mm in 72h.
 0.1 mm / 24h
Temperature
Affects drying rate via surface evaporation.
 10.2 °C
Humidity
High relative humidity slows down surface moisture evaporation.
 91%
Cloud Cover
Overcast skies block direct sun, reducing drying speed.
