Clear Outside vs Noctis

Reliable weather forecasts for astronomers with an emphasis on cloud cover. Key Features Weather Forecasts • Seven day hourly forecasts, updated hourly • Low, medium, high and total cloud cover • Regular weather data (wind, rain, frost, temperature, dew point, etc) • Covers daytime too - ideal for solar observers and imagers Astronomical Information • Moon rise/set times and phase • Sun rise/set and transit times • Civil/nautical/astronomical darkness periods • International Space Station (ISS) pass-over information with precise timing for your location Location Management • Set and save your home location for quick access • Add locations manually or use location services for automatic positioning • Search for locations worldwide • Save multiple favourite locations for easy switching • All location data stored locally on your device Why Clearoutside? Updated hourly, because frequent updates matter! Often the clear spell between showers provides excellent seeing, and 30 minutes under a clear sky with a grab-and-go telescope is pure gold. Our favourite feature? The ISS pass-over information is precisely calculated for your location and displayed alongside cloud forecasts, making it easier than ever to catch the station overhead. No cutesy graphics - just detailed, reliable weather data presented clearly for serious observers. We've had a lot of fun building and testing Clear Outside and are keen to develop it further.
