Start with the dry window, not the headline temperature
The most useful outdoor window is usually the lowest-rain period that still has comfortable temperature and manageable wind. A warmer hour is not better if it lands during the highest rain risk.
Use wind as the tie-breaker
If two windows look similarly dry, pick the calmer one. Wind changes how cold it feels, whether umbrellas work, how exposed cycling feels, and whether a walk feels pleasant or tiring.
Check daylight for the real end time
For evening plans, sunset often matters more than the last dry hour. A route can be technically dry but still a poor choice if it finishes after daylight without good lighting.

FAQ
Common questions
What is usually the best time to go outside?
The best time is usually the driest nearby window with comfortable temperature, manageable wind, and enough daylight for the plan.
Should I choose the warmest hour of the day?
Not always. A slightly cooler dry hour with lower wind is often better than the warmest hour if the warmest period has rain or strong wind.
How far ahead should I check the forecast?
For everyday plans, check the next 24 hours first, then re-check shortly before leaving if rain or wind is close to your comfort limit.
