Forest Weather

This is not a weather app. It's a photography planning tool

Get notified when conditions are perfect for your next sunrise shoot. Forest Weather uses high-resolution models like KNMI Harmonie (2 km) to alert you about fog, sun rays, snow, and visibility, so you never miss the perfect morning.

Built by a professional landscape photographer with 15+ years of field experience. Features no other app offers: sun ray (crepuscular ray) alerts, fully customizable condition-based notifications, and a sunrise conditions map covering up to 600x900 km.

No ads, no tracking, no data collection. Just the data photographers need.
