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.
