Stop checking forecasts manually

Photography weather alerts for your saved locations

Get notified when fog, rain clearing, tides, moonrise, high clouds, or sky conditions may line up for landscape and seascape photography.

Save the places you care about, choose built-in photography checks or custom alert rules, and let PhotoSignal watch the forecast for useful windows.

🔔 Example alerts

Fog

Fog possible near sunrise

Low wind, high humidity, small dew point spread, and sunrise timing.

Rain clearing

Rain clearing before sunset

Recent rain easing, dry window opening, and useful light timing.

Moon timing

Moonrise near sunset

Moon direction and timing lining up with golden hour.

Sky Context

📡 We scan areas around you too

A forecast point can say "cloudy" and still miss the thing photographers care about: where the light can get through. PhotoSignal combines local forecast values with timing and sky context, so alerts are based on more than one number above your location.

Above you

Cloud layers, rain, wind, fog, and visibility at the location you care about.

Around you

Nearby cloud mass, horizon gaps, and directional sky context around the scene.

At the right time

Sunrise, sunset, twilight, tides, moonrise, moonset, and practical watch windows.

Sky Context example

Sky Context helps interpret nearby cloud, rain, haze, clear areas, and horizon gaps around a saved location.

📬 Create alerts for weather conditions

Start with built-in checks for fog near sunrise, rain clearing, moon timing, high cloud sunset, a sun-facing open horizon, or seascape tide windows. Adjust thresholds only when you need to.

Get updates

PhotoSignal checks forecasts and sends grouped notifications when windows match.

🔢 No magic score, just data

PhotoSignal does not pretend to know whether a shoot will be amazing. Instead, each alert shows what matched, when to watch, and what may work against it.

M

Matched

What matched

The alert explains the forecast pattern, such as fog potential, rain clearing, or useful cloud.

W

Window

When to watch

Alerts are tied to practical timing around sunrise, sunset, twilight, tides, and moon events.

C

Caution

What may weaken it

Wind, rain, low cloud, weak confidence, or changing forecasts can be shown beside the match.

🎚️ Simple by default. Adjustable when needed.

Some tools expose every forecast variable and ask you to build the logic yourself. PhotoSignal starts with built-in photography checks and keeps advanced controls available without making them the product.

Built-in photography conditions

Start from weather and timing patterns that map to real outdoor photography scenarios.

Custom alert rules

Define what matters for your locations without living inside a raw parameter dashboard.

Grouped email notifications

Receive useful windows together instead of checking every location manually.

Cancellation updates

When a forecast changes and a window no longer matches, PhotoSignal can say so.

Sky Context

Use directional cloud and horizon-gap analysis when a single forecast point does not tell the full story.

Saved locations and reusable rules

Keep your regular places and alert logic ready for the next forecast cycle.

What PhotoSignal is good for

Misty forest river scene

Misty forest mornings

Watch humidity, visibility, wind, and sunrise timing for fog-friendly windows.

Exposed beach at low tide

Coastal shoots

Combine tide timing with wind, waves, rain, cloud, and sunrise or sunset windows.

Rain clearing with rainbow light

Clearing storms

Look for rain easing near useful light, with context for cloud that may still matter.

Moonrise over the ocean

Moon alignment

Track moonrise and moonset timing alongside the light windows you care about.

Cloudy sky with a horizon gap

Open horizon near the sun

Watch sunrise or sunset windows where the forecast suggests the horizon toward the sun is open.
