“Dry” means under 0.1 mm and under 30% chance of rain in the model; “showery” is under 0.5 mm and under 60%; anything wetter reads as “wet”. These riding bands are our own plain rule of thumb, not an official scale.

Reading it for your ride

Riding to work or the university

Look at the hours either side of your usual times, not the day as a whole: a day with showers often has a dry gap long enough for the ride.

Short days

From late autumn the ride home is often in the dark. The Daylight page for Tartu on this site shows the hours of light, so you know whether you need lights before you leave.

Worth knowing

A model, not a station

This is a forecast model for a point in the city, not a reading from a weather station. The Environment Agency's observing station for the area is at Tõravere, about 20 km away, which is worth remembering when a figure quoted "for Tartu" differs from what you feel on the riverbank.
