What this forecast looks for

Plain-language explanation from the rule

Blue Hour conditions for city lights balanced with twilight sky:

  • Blue Hour Period: The magical time after sunset/before sunrise
  • Cloud Cover: Partial clouds add interest without blocking the sky
  • Visibility: Good visibility for urban details
  • Precipitation: Dry conditions for clear shots

The deep blue sky provides perfect contrast with warm city lights.
