Weather & Sky Viewing

If you are a weather nut like I am, you are always searching for forecasting tools.

Here are a few of my favorites.

 

Astropheric

Hands down, the BEST for forecasting viewing conditions. Its totally worth the learning curve!

 

 

Windy.com

My absolute favorite weather forecasting model, and it has proven to be highly accurate.

 

LightPollutionMap.info

The best platform to show you how much light pollution you are facing in your area. Not really weather, but a wonderful tool for planning.

 

Clear Sky Chart by Atilla Danko

Another wonderfully accurate chart to depict viewing conditions.

 

Space Weather Live on Youtube

A youtube channel that broadcasts conditions for space weather, like Northern Lights forecasts.
