<h1>Forecast profiles</h1>
<p class="tagline">Curated column sets for whatever you're doing.</p>
<p>
SunScope organises its columns into <strong>profiles</strong> — curated sets of data tailored
to different activities and use cases. Rather than showing every column at once, each profile
surfaces the information that actually matters for that situation. You can switch between
<strong>Basic</strong>, <strong>Home</strong> and <strong>Vehicle</strong> using the buttons
above the forecast table. Three dropdowns — <strong>Places</strong>, <strong>Activities</strong>
and <strong>Work</strong> — give access to a further set of tailored views. The Temps comparison,
Show All and Custom column builder are part of SunScope Extra.
</p>
<h2>Core profiles</h2>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">🌡️ Basic</p>
<p>
The default view — clean and uncluttered, showing the essentials for any outdoor situation.
<strong>Air temperature</strong>, <strong>Shade Air</strong>, <strong>wind speed</strong>,
<strong>cloud cover</strong>, <strong>precipitation</strong> with <strong>rain probability</strong>,
<strong>pollen</strong>, and <strong>SunSoak</strong> — the felt-temperature index that combines
sun, wind, humidity, rain, and your surroundings into a single honest number. The right starting
point for most people most of the time.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">🏠 Home</p>
<p>
For managing indoor comfort without air conditioning. The <strong>indoor temperature</strong>
column is central: select your building type from the dropdown (UK brick, modern insulated,
Victorian terrace, stone cottage, timber frame, top-floor flat, or conservatory) and the physics
model adjusts for that building's insulation, retained warmth, thermal mass, and glazing. Tick
<strong>Managed</strong> to switch to the heatwave-advice model — curtains closed by day to block
solar gain, windows opened whenever outdoor air is cooler than inside. Supporting columns include
<strong>air temperature</strong>, <strong>relative humidity</strong> and <strong>dew point</strong>
(condensation and mould risk in cooler months), <strong>wind speed</strong> for ventilation
decisions, <strong>cloud cover</strong>, <strong>air quality</strong> and <strong>pollen</strong>
(useful for allergy sufferers deciding whether to open windows), and <strong>precipitation</strong>.
See <a href="./temperatures.html">derived temperatures</a> for how the indoor model works.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">🚗 Vehicle</p>
<p>
Covers the parked and travelling vehicle experience — especially useful for anyone with children
or pets, motorhome travellers, and caravan owners. The headline column is
<strong>vehicle interior temperature</strong>: a physics-based estimate of how hot the cabin gets
when parked and sealed, adjusted for your chosen vehicle type (car, MPV, SUV, motorhome, or
caravan). <strong>Wind speed</strong> matters for high-sided vehicles and caravans;
<strong>cloud cover</strong> and <strong>air temperature</strong> give context,
<strong>precipitation</strong> covers driving conditions, <strong>visibility</strong> flags fog,
and <strong>SunSoak</strong> tells you what it'll feel like when you step outside.
<strong>Soil moisture</strong> is included for motorhome and caravan users — values above 40%
indicate saturated ground where pitching or manoeuvring is likely to cause problems.
</p>
</div>
<h2>Extra profiles</h2>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">🌡️ Temps · Extra</p>
<p>
A comparison view that brings all temperature-derived columns into one place:
<strong>air temperature</strong>, <strong>Shade Air</strong>, <strong>SunSoak felt
temperature</strong>, <strong>surface soil temperature</strong>, <strong>concrete surface
temperature</strong>, <strong>vehicle interior temperature</strong>, <strong>indoor
temperature</strong>, and <strong>managed indoor temperature</strong>. Useful for understanding
how the same weather manifests across different environments simultaneously.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">⚙️ Show All · Extra</p>
<p>
Every column switched on at once — the full firehose. Handy for a complete picture of an hour,
or as a starting point before trimming down. If you'd rather build up from a blank slate, use
Custom instead.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">✏️ Custom · Extra</p>
<p>
Full control over which columns appear in the table, starting from a blank slate. Toggle any
combination of air temperature, Shade Air, dew point, relative humidity, wind, direction, cloud,
visibility, air quality index, pollen, sun elevation, direct and diffuse radiation, mean radiant
temperature, UTCI delta, UTCI, UV-A, UV-B, burn time, vehicle interior, indoor, managed indoor,
soil temperatures, soil moisture, concrete surface, precipitation, rain probability, lightning
potential, and SunSoak. Build exactly the view that suits your situation.
</p>
</div>
<h2>🌤️ Places</h2>
<p>
The Places dropdown gives access to location-specific views, each with its own tailored column set.
Urban, Park/Picnic, Forest/Woodland, Beach, Events and Airport/Travel are free; Festival is part of
SunScope Extra.
</p>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">🏙️ Urban</p>
<p>
For anyone moving around a city on foot. Buildings channel wind into gusts down narrow streets,
concrete absorbs heat all day and radiates it back long after sunset, and the lack of vegetation
means no evaporative cooling. Columns: air temperature, Shade Air, wind speed and direction,
cloud cover, visibility, air quality index, UV-A index, burn time, SunSoak, precipitation with
rain probability, and <a href="./temperatures.html">concrete surface temperature</a>.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">🌳 Park / Picnic</p>
<p>
A lighter view for casual outdoor time in green spaces. Shows the essentials without the urban or
specialist columns: air temperature, Shade Air, wind speed, cloud cover, burn time, SunSoak,
precipitation, and pollen — useful for anyone with hay fever deciding whether to head out.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">🌲 Forest / Woodland</p>
<p>
For woodland walks and time under the canopy, where the Forest Solar Model reduces direct sun and
adds evapotranspiration cooling. Shows air temperature, wind speed, cloud cover, burn time,
SunSoak, precipitation, visibility, air quality index, and pollen — the last two matter under a
still canopy on high-pollen days.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">🏖️ Beach</p>
<p>
UV exposure at the coast is significantly higher than inland: water reflects up to 25% of incoming
UV, and wet sand nearly as much. Both <strong>UV-A</strong> and <strong>UV-B</strong> are shown
alongside burn time. Dew point captures the humidity that makes hot beach days feel muggy, wind
speed and direction matter for comfort and sea state, sun elevation tells you when UV peaks, and
visibility covers horizon conditions. SunSoak and precipitation round out the picture.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">🎪 Events</p>
<p>
For general outdoor gatherings: markets, sports fixtures, open-air concerts, and public events.
Focuses on the crowd comfort picture: air temperature, Shade Air, wind speed and direction, cloud
cover, UV-A and burn time for daytime events, SunSoak, precipitation, and
<a href="./temperatures.html">concrete surface temperature</a> — relevant for anyone standing on
sun-exposed hard standing for long periods.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">⛺ Festival · Extra</p>
<p>
Multi-day outdoor events live or die by two things: the weather comfort and the state of the
ground. Focuses on SunSoak for how cold and wet conditions will actually feel, wind speed and
direction for tent and stage exposure, dew point for overnight condensation, UV-A and burn time,
precipitation, air quality index and pollen, and <strong>soil moisture</strong> — the mud
indicator. Values above 40% mean the ground is saturated and vehicle access, camping areas, and
walkways will be affected.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">✈️ Airport / Travel</p>
<p>
Focused on the conditions that affect journeys rather than outdoor comfort. Shows air temperature,
wind speed and direction (relevant for delays and turbulence at exposed airports), cloud cover,
visibility (critical for flight operations and driving to the terminal), and precipitation.
</p>
</div>
<h2>🎯 Activities</h2>
<p>
The Activities dropdown organises views by what you are actually doing outdoors. Dog Walking,
Running and Cycling are free; Hiking, Fishing, Sailing, Winter Sports, Photography and Naturist are
part of SunScope Extra.
</p>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">🐾 Dog Walking</p>
<p>
Focused on the comfort and safety of both owner and dog. Shows air temperature, wind speed, cloud
cover, SunSoak, precipitation, and pollen. The Urban view's
<a href="./temperatures.html">concrete surface temperature</a> is the better companion for
pavement-heat safety on hot days.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">🏃 Running</p>
<p>
For outdoor runners monitoring heat stress and air quality. Shows air temperature, relative
humidity (sweat evaporation is less effective in humid air, raising heat stress faster), wind
speed, cloud cover, UTCI for raw heat stress, burn time, SunSoak, precipitation, and pollen —
relevant for asthma and hay fever sufferers pacing their training.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">🚴 Cycling</p>
<p>
Tailored for road and trail cyclists. Wind is the dominant factor: headwinds add effort,
crosswinds affect handling, and gusts are a safety concern on open roads. Shows air temperature,
wind speed and direction, cloud cover, burn time, SunSoak, precipitation, and visibility — useful
for low-light or foggy conditions.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">🏔️ Hiking · Extra</p>
<p>
For hillwalkers and long-distance trail users. Conditions in upland and remote terrain shift
rapidly and the consequences of being caught out are more serious than in town. Shows air
temperature, wind speed and direction, cloud cover, sun elevation, both UV-A and UV-B with burn
time (altitude increases UV exposure), UTCI and SunSoak, precipitation, and visibility (critical
for navigation in poor conditions).
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">🎣 Fishing · Extra</p>
<p>
River and sea anglers need to read conditions that most weather apps don't surface. Shows air
temperature, Shade Air, dew point (morning condensation and hatch activity on rivers), wind speed
and direction, cloud cover, SunSoak for what it will actually feel like on an exposed bank or
boat, precipitation, and visibility for sea and estuary conditions.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">⛵ Sailing · Extra</p>
<p>
Conditions out at sea can be dramatically different from what the shore feels like. Leads with air
temperature (water conducts heat away from the body far faster than air), dew point (condensation
on sails and equipment), wind speed with gusts, wind direction, cloud cover, and sun elevation for
glare. UV is higher on open water due to reflection, so UV-A and burn time are included. SunSoak
captures wet, windy conditions, and visibility is essential for safe passage.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">🎿 Winter Sports · Extra</p>
<p>
For skiers, snowboarders, and mountain walkers. UV intensity increases by roughly 10% per 1,000 m
of altitude, and snow reflects up to 80% of UV upward — one of the highest-risk exposures outside
a solarium. Both UV-A and UV-B are shown with burn time. Wind speed and direction is critical for
wind chill at speed and exposure risk on open slopes. Sun elevation indicates glare on snow.
SunSoak, air temperature, cloud cover, visibility (whiteout and low cloud), and precipitation
complete the picture.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">📸 Photography · Extra</p>
<p>
For outdoor and landscape photographers who need to understand light quality, cloud diffusion, and
solar position. Shows air temperature, Shade Air, cloud cover, sun elevation, direct and diffuse
radiation (the ratio determines whether light is harsh or soft), visibility (haze and atmospheric
clarity), and precipitation.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">☀️ Naturist · Extra</p>
<p>
With no clothing buffer between skin and environment, every weather variable matters more. Wind
chill at even modest speeds becomes significant, so both the raw UTCI and SunSoak are shown. Both
UV-A and UV-B are included — full-body UV exposure is a serious consideration — alongside burn
time, sun elevation, dew point, wind, cloud cover, air quality index, pollen, and precipitation.
</p>
</div>
<h2>💼 Work</h2>
<p>
The Work dropdown groups the outdoor-occupation views, where decisions turn on ground-level and
working conditions rather than leisure comfort. Farming is free; Construction, Market Trading, Window
Cleaning, Office and Driver / Trucker are part of SunScope Extra.
</p>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">🌾 Farming</p>
<p>
Built for organic growers first, but just as useful for any farmer, smallholder, or market
gardener. Decision-making on the land is driven by conditions at ground level, not just the air.
Shows air temperature, Shade Air, relative humidity and dew point (frost risk and disease pressure),
wind speed and direction (safe windows to apply foliar feeds without drift), cloud cover and sun
elevation for light levels, SunSoak for heat stress on the person working, precipitation with rain
probability, air quality index and pollen, and the three soil columns: surface soil temperature,
soil temperature at 6 cm (the root zone for most seedlings), and soil moisture. An "at a glance"
panel also surfaces sow and harvest advice from a seasonal crop calendar.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">🏗️ Construction · Extra</p>
<p>
For site managers and outdoor workers. Safety and productivity depend on conditions at ground
level and in the air. Shows air temperature, Shade Air, wind speed and direction (critical for
working at height and crane operations), cloud cover, visibility, air quality index (dust and
diesel particulates compound background pollution), UTCI for heat stress on workers, SunSoak for
wet-weather comfort, and precipitation.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">🏪 Market Trading · Extra</p>
<p>
For stallholders and market traders working a pitch all day. Shows air temperature, Shade Air, wind
speed and direction (gazebo and canopy safety), cloud cover, SunSoak for standing-around comfort,
precipitation with rain probability, and visibility.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">🪟 Window Cleaning · Extra</p>
<p>
For window cleaners and other trades working at height with water. Wind is the headline safety
factor: shows air temperature, wind speed and direction, cloud cover, SunSoak, precipitation with
rain probability, and visibility.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">🏢 Office · Extra</p>
<p>
For managing an indoor workspace. Centres on <strong>managed indoor temperature</strong> for a
building run with curtains and ventilation, alongside air temperature, relative humidity, cloud
cover, sun elevation and direct radiation (solar gain through the windows), SunSoak, precipitation,
and air quality index for whether to open up.
</p>
</div>
<div class="profile-block">
<p class="profile-name">🚚 Driver / Trucker · Extra</p>
<p>
For professional drivers and hauliers. Shows air temperature, wind speed and direction (high-sided
vehicle stability), cloud cover, UV-A (through-glass exposure on long drives), precipitation with
rain probability, <a href="./temperatures.html">vehicle interior temperature</a> for cab heat, and
visibility for driving conditions.
</p>
</div>
<p>
Every profile shares the same underlying data — see the <a href="./columns.html">column reference</a>
for what each column means, and <a href="./sunsoak.html">SunSoak &amp; the science</a> for how the
felt-temperature number is built.
