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 profiles
|
||||
using the row of buttons above the forecast table, or switch to <strong>Custom</strong> to
|
||||
pick individual columns yourself.
|
||||
using the row of buttons above the forecast table. The <strong>Outdoors</strong> profile
|

includes a sub-dropdown in the Columns bar to choose between Beach, Festival, Events,
|
||||
Naturist, and Winter Sports. Switch to <strong>Custom</strong> to pick individual columns
|

yourself.

<strong>Beach</strong> — UV exposure at the coast is significantly higher than inland:
|
||||
water reflects up to 25% of incoming UV back at you, and wet sand nearly as much. Both
|
||||
<strong>UV-A</strong> and <strong>UV-B</strong> are shown alongside <strong>burn
|
||||
time</strong> for your skin type. <strong>Dew point</strong> captures the humidity that
|
||||
makes hot beach days feel muggy, <strong>wind speed and direction</strong> matters for
|
||||
comfort and sea state, and <strong>sun elevation</strong> tells you when the UV load
|
||||
peaks. <strong>UTCI+P</strong> and <strong>precipitation</strong> round out the picture
|
||||
for day planning.

||||

|

|
||||
<strong>Festival</strong> — multi-day outdoor events live or die by two things: the
|
||||
weather comfort and the state of the ground. The Festival variant focuses on
|
||||
<strong>UTCI+P</strong> for how cold and wet conditions will actually feel, <strong>wind
|
||||
speed and direction</strong> for tent and stage exposure, <strong>dew point</strong> for
|
||||
overnight condensation, <strong>UV-A</strong> and <strong>burn time</strong> for daytime
|
||||
sun protection, <strong>precipitation</strong> for planning, and <strong>soil
|
||||
moisture</strong> — the mud indicator. Values above 0.4 m³/m³ mean the ground is
|
||||
saturated and vehicle access, camping areas, and walkways will be affected.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<strong>Events</strong> — for general outdoor gatherings: markets, sports fixtures, open-air
|
||||
concerts, and public events. Focuses on the crowd comfort picture: <strong>air
|
||||
temperature</strong>, <strong>wind speed and direction</strong> (useful for exposed
|
||||
grandstands and open sites), <strong>cloud cover</strong>, <strong>UV-A</strong> and
|
||||
<strong>burn time</strong> for daytime events, <strong>UTCI+P</strong> for overall felt
|
||||
comfort, <strong>precipitation</strong>, and <strong>concrete surface temperature</strong>
|
||||
— relevant for anyone standing or sitting on sun-exposed hard standing for extended periods.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<strong>Naturist</strong> — 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 <strong>UTCI</strong> and <strong>UTCI+P</strong> are shown. Both <strong>UV-A
|
||||
</strong> and <strong>UV-B</strong> are included — full-body UV exposure is a serious
|
||||
consideration — alongside <strong>burn time</strong>, <strong>sun elevation</strong>,
|
||||
<strong>dew point</strong> for humidity comfort, <strong>wind</strong>, <strong>cloud
|
||||
cover</strong>, and <strong>precipitation</strong>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<strong>Winter Sports</strong> — for skiers, snowboarders, and mountain walkers. UV
|
||||
intensity increases by roughly 10% for every 1,000 m of altitude, and snow reflects up
|
||||
to 80% of UV back upward — making mountain environments one of the highest-risk UV
|
||||
exposures outside a solarium. Both <strong>UV-A</strong> and <strong>UV-B</strong> are
|
||||
shown with <strong>burn time</strong>. <strong>Wind speed and direction</strong> is
|
||||
critical for wind chill at speed and for avalanche and exposure risk on open slopes.
|
||||
<strong>Sun elevation</strong> indicates glare and visibility conditions on snow.
|
||||
<strong>UTCI+P</strong> captures the real felt temperature, and <strong>air
|
||||
temperature</strong>, <strong>cloud cover</strong>, and <strong>precipitation</strong>
|
||||
(snow vs rain) complete the picture.
