Look no further than Astroweather, your ultimate astronomy and weather toolkit designed specifically for astronomical observation. Astroweather is your go-to resource for weather forecasts that cater to the unique needs of astronomers and sky enthusiasts alike.
Astroweather is built upon the foundation of 7timer.org, a pioneering weather forecasting platform. This product has been enhanced to include comprehensive astronomical weather forecasts, along with crucial information like sunset/sunrise and moonrise/moonset times. Our web-based meteorological forecast products are primarily derived from the robust NOAA/NCEP-based numeric weather model, known as the Global Forecast System (GFS).
The journey of 7Timer! began in July 2005, initially launched as an experimental product under the auspices of the National Astronomical Observatories of China. It underwent significant updates in 2008 and 2011, and it is currently supported by the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The creator, a passionate stargazer, developed 7Timer! to combat the frustration of unpredictable weather conditions that often interfere with astronomical observations.
