How to read: Each row shows when a condition blocks opportunities. Stronger red means more locations are affected. These are the top 4 conditions preventing matches across the 73-hour forecast.

Alpine relief turns golden hour into a precise alignment problem. The Matterhorn can catch pink dawn or dusk light while Zermatt remains shaded; the Eiger above Grindelwald and Mont Blanc above Chamonix similarly hold direct light after deep valleys lose it. Clear, dry air after a front gives crisp layers, while a modest cloud deck to the west can add color or block the sun completely.

The forecast combines cloud, visibility, and solar angle, but coarse terrain data cannot predict shadow on every slope. Winter valley light is especially brief, and cable-car operating hours may not cover sunrise or sunset. Check the exact sun bearing and legal access, allow for altitude and cold, and do not equate a clear valley forecast with an unobstructed summit.

How this forecast is made

Opportunities are threshold-based signals: PhotoWeather checks whether forecast conditions match the rules for a photography scenario. They are planning guidance, not guarantees. Forecasts can change as new model runs arrive, and confidence generally decreases farther into the forecast horizon, so recheck conditions before travelling.

The weather forecast foundation comes through Open-Meteo , which aggregates models from weather agencies. PhotoWeather applies condition-specific thresholds and derived calculations; not every condition uses every model or data input.
