## What is Hjul?

Hjul tells you when to change between summer and winter tires — for the town where you drive.

It reads the 10-day forecast from MET Norway, 30 years of local weather and the tire rules in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland. Then it gives you one calm answer: change now, plan for a date, or relax.

• A safe date, not an average one: Hjul aims before the first frost night your town gets in about one autumn of five.
• An early heads-up when the forecast shows the first frost, snow or a cold week, in time to book a slot before the queues.
• Reminders that stop: book, a week before, on the day, and at most two follow-ups. Tap "Done, switched" right in the notification.
• Stud dates and winter-tire rules for your country on a year-at-a-glance chart.
• Warnings for storms, freezing rain, heavy snow and black ice in the next two days.
• A picture-book Nordic scene that follows your real day, night, moon and season.
• 15 languages. No account, no ads.

Hjul is a reminder, not an instruction. Forecasts can be wrong and rules change: check the roads and local rules yourself.

Optional tips support development. They unlock nothing except a small coffee cup by the cabin.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-10-23

A fresh chance of icy roads every day, reminders that come early, and a date that holds.

• Home shows this week's chance of icy roads, with an arrow when it moved since yesterday. In spring it shows the chance of frost within two weeks.
• One chance drives the date: observed nights, the 10-day forecast, a 51-run ensemble and your town's own 30 autumns. Hjul aims for the day before it reaches one in five.
• Reminders tell you the date to switch by, well ahead, and suggest the weekend before it. If the cold comes sooner, you get one update with the new date.
• The date holds: it moves earlier at once when it should, and later only once the risk has clearly dropped, at most a week past your town's usual date. No sudden "now" before the date you were given.
• Fixed: after switching to summer tires a day or two before the spring date, Hjul could tell you to switch back.
• Home is just the picture and the answer; tap the weather at the top for the 10-day forecast.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-23

Better timing, based on the seasons your town has actually had.

• The autumn date now comes from your town's own 30 autumns: the day by which one autumn in five had its first icy-road night. On mild coasts like Malmö, Gothenburg and Copenhagen that is about three weeks earlier than before; most towns move only a few days.
• In spring, Hjul waits for the date by which half of springs had their last frost night.
• In cold valleys and on outer islands, Hjul uses the colder of the regional climate record and the local 1 km weather analysis.
• Hjul now remembers icy nights from the past week, so yesterday's black ice still counts after the forecast has moved on.
• Your switch date now holds steady between refreshes: it moves earlier at once when it should, and later only after a full day, so a booked workshop slot stays right.
• In spring, studded tires are no longer sent off on the legal deadline while snow and frost are still forecast. Denmark keeps its fixed date.
• In Finland and Sweden, if summer tires are still on once the winter tire requirement starts, Hjul keeps saying "now".
• Reminders follow the new date when it moves later, with no early "overdue" nudges.
• Easier to read with larger text and on small phones, and the 10-day forecast now shows dates.
