Clear Outside Software

What is Clear Outside?

Clear Outside is a weather forecasting app designed specifically for astronomers. It provides reliable weather forecasts with an emphasis on cloud cover, which is crucial for astronomers to plan their observations. The app offers hourly updates and includes various features such as moon rise/set times, sun rise/set and transit, ISS pass-over information, and civil/nautical/astronomical darkness. Clear Outside also allows users to save their favorite locations for easy access and provides daytime forecasts for solar observers/imagers.

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.
