Description
Reliable weather forecasts for astronomers with an emphasis on cloud cover.
Features include:
• Seven day hourly forecasts, updated hourly.
• Low, medium, high and total cloud cover.
• Moon rise/set times and phase.
• Sun rise/set and transit.
• Civil/nautical/astronomical darkness.
• ISS pass-over information.
• Automatically provides a forecast for your current location.
• Save favourite locations for easy access.
• Daytime forecasts for solar observers/imagers.
Updated hourly. Frequent hourly updates are important because often the clear spell between showers provides excellent seeing and 30-minutes under a clear sky with a grab-&-go telescopes is pure gold!
Did you notice the ISS pass-over information? The times are precisely calculated for your location and displayed alongside the cloud forecasts so it has never been easier to observe. It is our favourite feature :-)
Also includes regular weather data (wind, rain, frost, temperature, dew point, etc) so perfect for those wanting a detailed weather forecast, without cutesy graphics.
We have had a lot of fun building and testing Clear Outside and are keen to to develop it further so if you find it useful or have suggestions, please let us know.

Ratings and Reviews
Good app. Bad data.
The app itself is good, could use a few tweaks.
Main issue is the data has been wrong both times I planned a photo shoot based on it.
This morning, app says 80-90% clouds... not a cloud in site and made for boring sunrise.
The other night, app says 2% clouds... coverage was more like 70-80% and couldn’t shoot my Astro.
I am based in Queensland, Australia and always select a location where I am planning to shoot when checking the data.
Liking it
Scary just how accurate the app is even is Australia.
I would like to see the CSS added to the ISS line. I am always looking for both.
Practical
Practical app. Would be great to have an option to filter to specific times e.g night only which will save much scrolling time
