What this forecast looks for
Plain-language explanation from the rulePainted Sky detects conditions for spectacular cloud colors at sunset/sunrise:
- Golden Clouds Potential: Combines cloud types and solar position
- Cloud Layers: Mid and high clouds catch the best colors
- Wind Speed: Moderate wind helps create interesting cloud formations
- Precipitation: Low probability for good visibility
When conditions align, clouds transform into brilliant oranges, pinks, and golds.
