Sunset Mania scores how good tonight's sunset, sunrise, and stargazing will be for photos — so you know whether to grab your camera or stay in.
Instead of a single weather icon, it reads the ingredients of a great sky: the high and mid cloud that catch colour, a clear horizon where the sun drops, atmospheric clarity, and afterglow potential. It blends several forecast models (ICON, KNMI and more) into one 0–100 score with an honest confidence rating — and when the models disagree, it tells you instead of pretending to be sure.
