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?

How do notifications work?
Choose instant alerts for urgent conditions or daily briefings to plan ahead. We support email notifications with calendar integration via iCal feeds.
