Frequently asked questions
Get answers to the most common questions about PhotoWeather. Need more help? View all FAQs or contact support.
How do I get started?
Create an account, add your first location, then set up some rules using one of our rule templates like golden hour atmosphere or dense fog.
How accurate are the forecasts?
We use high quality weather services like ECMWF, DWD, NOAA, MET Norway, Météo‑France and more. Forecasts are most reliable 1–3 days ahead and taper after that.
Can I create my own rules?
Yes. You can build your own rules as complex as you want, with AND/OR logic across weather fields as well as astronomical data. We also provide templates to make it easy to get started, and you can customize them to your liking.
How do notifications work?
Choose instant alerts for urgent conditions or daily digests to plan ahead. We support email notifications with calendar integration via iCal feeds.
Do you support calendar sync?
Yes. Subscribe to iCal feeds per location and see opportunities update automatically in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, or any calendar app.
What's included in the free tier?
Free accounts include: 1 location, 3 active rule assignments, daily weather data updates, 3-day weather forecasts, email notifications, calendar integration, and most importantly access to all the weather, aurora and astronomical data. Paying subscribers get access to more frequent forecast updates, additional sampling locations (Directional Weather Intelligence) and other features that are expensive to upkeep.
