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.

50 mph, or motorway 70 mph) sits alongside the ventilation toggle — forced airflow at speed
scrubs heat off the bodywork and, with windows open, flushes the cabin toward outside air much
faster than sitting still. <strong>Wind speed</strong> matters for high-sided vehicles and

Built for anyone checking outdoor conditions for a cat or dog. The headline column is
<strong>Fur Temp</strong> — an estimated fur surface temperature in direct sun, calibrated for a
thin/short coat rather than a heavily-insulated breed, using a <strong>fur colour</strong>
selector (Black/Dark, Brown/Tabby, Golden/Tan, White/Pale) since darker coats absorb more solar
heat. <strong>Paw Temp</strong> estimates ground/pavement contact temperature with burn-risk
colour coding — green below 40 °C, amber 4052 °C, red above 52 °C — the same "7-second hand
test" rule of thumb applies. <strong>Pet Shade</strong> and <strong>Pet Home</strong> reuse the
shade and indoor models but with lower, pet-specific alert thresholds, since small pets have far
less capacity to dump heat than a person. Supporting columns include air temperature, wind speed,
cloud cover, precipitation, and SunSoak. Pets is a free core profile.
