Fog & Clouds Finder
Fog & Clouds Finder is a focused planning tool for photographers who chase moody fog and dramatic sunrise / sunset skies.
It's not a general-purpose weather app, it answers two questions: where will there be fog tomorrow morning and where will high clouds light up at golden hour?
WHAT IT DOES
- A live map heatmap showing fog likelihood and high-cloud cover across any region, refreshed automatically as you pan and zoom.
- Tap any spot to drop a pin and instantly see sunrise & sunset times for that exact location, plus the forecasted fog and high-cloud percentages at those moments.
- 72-hour time slider with golden-hour and blue-hour markers so you can scrub straight to the moments worth shooting.
- country picker with 45+ photography destinations — useful for trip planning.
- Compass direction of sunrise and sunset at every spot, so you know which way to face the tripod.
- All times shown in the local timezone of the place you're scouting.
HOW IT WORKS
Forecasts come from Open-Meteo's free, global weather API. Fog likelihood is a heuristic blend of low-cloud cover, humidity, dewpoint spread, and visibility — the classic ingredients of fog formation. Sunrise, sunset, and azimuth are computed on-device using the standard NOAA solar algorithm.
A NOTE ON FORECASTS
Fog and clouds are notoriously hard to predict, especially beyond 24 hours. Treat the badges as guidance, not certainty — but they're a much better starting point than guessing.
