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.
Need to change setting to F not C temperature

Useful!
Thank you for the app.
The Best Weather App for Astronomers
This is just what I have been looking for, and most of all it is really free!
Great info!
Really nice summary of weather affecting night photography. I can’t find a settings function though; it’d be nice to see Fahrenheit data but I really don't ‘need’ it.
Is it supported? Not a chance.
I have never been able to enter a negative longitude number for locations in the west because they restrict the input keyboard to numbers and a decimal point. This means every US location that I can’t find in their small database can’t be added because it shows up in China. This would be an easy fix, but in 2 years they haven’t done it. Update: years later, still no fix. Come on, FLO!
Bug when editing location
Wanted to add locations that I travel to frequently, one of which is not listed in the search function. Reading another review, developer states you choose any location and edit the coordinates. That’s fine, but the app only lets me edit the longitude, not the latitude. It’s ok if you can find a location that’s pretty close to your latitude, at least you won’t be far out, but annoying that you can do one, not the other.
Awesome App
Very helpful as a photographer. Most negative reviews are ppl who don’t know what they are doing.
