⚠ Weather Data Disclaimer

Weather conditions displayed in this calculator are estimated using Open-Meteo, a free meteorological data service drawing from NOAA, GFS, and ECMWF model data. Forecasts and conditions are provided for general planning purposes only and are updated on an hourly basis.

Weather models operate on broad geographic grids and may not capture highly localized conditions such as valley fog, terrain-driven wind shifts, or localized storm cells that could significantly affect your birds. Visibility and precipitation estimates in particular should be treated as approximations.

This calculator is a planning tool, not a substitute for real-time weather judgment. Race managers and club members should always consult current local forecasts and apply their own experience before making liberation decisions. Kastle Pigeon assumes no responsibility for race outcomes based on estimates provided by this tool.
