About SkySense

The weather, made sense of.

SkySense answers the questions you actually have about the weather, and says how sure it is.

What it does

  • Plain answers first: a sentence about the next 24 hours, what to wear, whether you need an umbrella, when it gets dark and how windy it is.
  • The best time today and in the next 10 days for a run, a ride, a walk, a hike, a picnic, laundry outside, stargazing or golden hour photos, why each score is what it is, and the good times as a calendar file.
  • A setting for people who get cold or warm easily, which moves the ideal temperatures for activities.
  • How sure the forecast is: the likely range from 51 runs of the ECMWF model, marks on uncertain days, and five weather models side by side.
  • How today compares with the years 1991 to 2020, what this date was like in each of the last ten years, how long it has been dry, and the past year's records month by month.
  • Air quality and pollen, shown only when they matter.
  • A rain radar for the last 2 hours and the model's rain for the next 3, on a map, with its temperature and wind too.
  • Tonight's moon, sunrise and sunset, the barometer and whether it is rising or falling, and a background sky that follows the time of day and the weather.
  • Places you can save, rename and reorder, a "My location" entry that finds you again when opened, two places compared day by day, a search in your language, and a link to share any place.
  • Installs as an app, and shows places you opened before when you are offline.
  • Your units, 12 or 24-hour time, a light or dark theme and five languages.

Forecasts come from Open-Meteo, which combines the models of national weather services. They update every hour.
