## Details

Stop checking weather apps every hour. PhotoWeather monitors forecasts 24/7 and alerts you only when conditions match your photography goals—so you don’t miss sunrise fog, dramatic storms, or that one perfect golden-hour cloud break.


 


How it works: add locations → create rules (or pick templates) → get alerts with confidence scores and how long the window lasts. Built for photographers: fog/mist, golden & blue hour potential, aurora (activity + viewing conditions), storm intensity, coastal drama (waves + atmosphere), and more.


 


Powerful rule builder (80+ parameters):


temperature, humidity, wind, layered clouds, visibility, precip, pressure, dewpoint spread, CAPE, sunshine; plus astronomy (sunrise/sunset, twilight, moon, Milky Way).  Pro adds aerosols/clarity, ensemble uncertainty, upper-air dynamics, and marine data.


Use AND/OR/NOT logic (e.g., “Golden hour + 20–60% clouds + wind 8 km”).


 


Smart, low-noise notifications: period-based sessions (start/end + peak), match breakdown, daily digest + quiet hours.


Calendar integration via iCal (Apple/Google) with events that update as forecasts change.
