PhotoWeather Alerts

Weather alerts that think like a photographer.

PhotoWeather turns raw forecasts into shootable photo windows. Set the conditions worth leaving for, and PhotoWeather watches the forecast for your favorite locations - alerting you when the light, sky, weather, and timing line up.

Stop translating “partly cloudy” into guesswork. PhotoWeather helps you know what to shoot, where to go, when the window opens, how long it may last, and why the forecast looks promising.

BUILT FOR OUTDOOR PHOTOGRAPHERS

Generic weather apps tell you the temperature.

PhotoWeather helps you make the go/no-go call for real photography conditions, for example:

Dense fog at sunrise

Fiery sunset skies

Golden hour atmosphere

Aurora visibility

Dramatic cloudscapes

Storm light

Rainbow setups

Frost and fresh snow

Mirror-calm reflections

Coastal drama

Clear nights for astro

Milky Way and moon conditions

HOW IT WORKS

Save the places you shoot

Add beaches, ridges, forests, lakes, dark-sky spots, coastlines, or client locations.

Define what makes it worth going

Start with 20+ ready-made templates including Fog Hunter, Golden Hour, Painted Sky, Fire Sky, Northern Lights, Milky Way, Storm Chaser, Rainbow Hunter, Mirror Lake, Dramatic Seascapes, First Tracks, and Clearing Storm — or build your own from 90+ weather, light, astronomy, marine, aerosol, and confidence parameters.

Get the window before it happens

Receive alerts with the expected start time, duration, confidence, and the evidence behind the opportunity.

MORE THAN A POINT FORECAST

PhotoWeather uses 20+ forecast models and selects the right data for your location instead of relying on one generic forecast.

For Pro users, directional and horizon-aware weather intelligence helps detect the sky around your location - not just the weather directly overhead. That matters when you care about incoming cloud breaks, sunset gaps, rainbow geometry, coastal conditions, or light hitting from the horizon.

POWERFUL RULE BUILDER

Create simple or advanced rules using AND / OR / NOT logic.

Example rules:

Golden hour + 20–60% cloud cover + light wind

Sunrise fog + high humidity + low visibility

Aurora activity + clear skies + dark hours

Storm clouds + strong gusts + high CAPE

Calm lake + low wind + soft morning light

Fresh snow in the last 6 hours

Coastal drama with waves, wind, and mood

Start with templates like fog, golden hour, painted sky, aurora, reflections, storms, astro, frost, and more — then adjust every threshold to match your style.

MADE FOR THE MOMENTS THAT DISAPPEAR FAST

The best outdoor photography conditions are brief: fog lifting after sunrise, a gap in storm clouds, aurora through clear sky, warm light under broken cloud, a mirror-still lake, or waves hitting the coast under dramatic skies.

PhotoWeather watches for those moments so you do not have to keep checking weather apps all day.
