<h2>The sky scope</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The large circular visualisation at the top of the page shows the current sky conditions. The sky
|
||||
colour smoothly interpolates through a full set of elevation-keyed gradients — from deep pre-dawn
|
||||
navy through golden sunrise, bright midday blue, warm sunset amber, and back to night — with a sun
|
||||
disc whose glow radius and intensity scale with the actual shortwave radiation at that moment. It
|
||||
shows the real current time, not the hour you're browsing in the table, and refreshes automatically
|
||||
alongside the forecast.

The large circular visualisation at the top of the page shows the sky conditions. The sky colour
|
||||

|

through golden sunrise, bright midday blue, warm sunset amber, and back to night — with a sun disc
|
||||
whose glow radius and intensity scale with the shortwave radiation at that moment. It's a live
|
||||
weather simulation, not just a colour wheel: cloud, rain, snow, and haze are all rendered from the
|
||||
forecast, so the scope actually looks overcast, wet, or misty when the weather is. By default it
|
||||
tracks the real current time and refreshes automatically alongside the forecast.

<h2>Day-cycle time-lapse</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Press the <strong>Day cycle</strong> play button (▶) on the scope to run a 24-hour time-lapse.
|
||||
SunScope drives the scope smoothly through the next 24 hours — roughly 15 simulated minutes per
|
||||
real second, so a full day plays out in about a minute and a half — animating the sky gradients,
|
||||
the sun's rise and fall, and the evolving weather as cloud rolls in, rain starts, or fog lifts. A
|
||||
live clock label shows the simulated time as it plays; press again to stop and snap back to now.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>The draggable timeline</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Below the scope sits a 24-hour <strong>timeline bar</strong>. Its background is a gradient built
|
||||
from the actual per-hour sky colours across the coming day, so the bar itself previews how the sky
|
||||
will shift from dawn to dusk. <strong>Sunrise (↑)</strong> and <strong>sunset (↓)</strong> markers
|
||||
sit at their real times on the bar, with clock ticks at the quarter points. Grab the thumb and
|
||||
scrub to any instant to jump the scope — and the "why it feels like this" breakdown — to that
|
||||
moment, with everything interpolated smoothly between the hourly rows rather than snapping.
