Cloud Layer Analysis
High, mid, and low clouds analysed separately. The right clouds at the right altitude create the colour.

Know exactly when the sky will ignite
SkyFiire analyses live weather data and cloud layers to predict the quality of every sunrise and sunset across Australia.
Sky Quality Score
Every sunrise and sunset gets a 0-100 score based on cloud cover, visibility, humidity, wind, and rain, so you know if it is worth waking up for.
Certainty Meter
Not just a score, but how confident we are. Cloud variability, precipitation, and forecast lead time combine into a certainty percentage.
Live Cloud Analysis
High, mid, and low cloud layers are analysed separately in real time, because the right clouds at the right altitude make the magic.
Chase Mode
When conditions hit 90+, Chase Mode gives you specific geographic and timing guidance so you never miss a perfect sky.
the truth about great skies
A perfect sky is rarer than you think
Most people see a beautiful sunrise or sunset only a handful of times a year, and almost always by accident. The right clouds, the right humidity, the right wind, all aligning at the right moment, it does not happen often.

The most common question
But how reliable is it?
It's the question we get asked more than any other. So we built something no other sky forecast has: a Confidence Score.
Why we created it
Weather forecasts shift. Clouds move. Conditions change. The Confidence Score tells you how stable the forecast is, so you know whether to trust it or keep watching for updates.
The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward
You need lots of cloud for colour. But more cloud means more risk of the sun being obscured entirely. A high score with low confidence is a gamble. A high score with high confidence is a sure thing.
How it works
We analyse cloud variability, low-cloud near the horizon, rain probability, and forecast lead time. The more stable these factors, the higher the confidence. The more volatile, the lower.
High confidence (75%+): Conditions are stable and the forecast is likely to hold.
Moderate (50-75%): Things could go either way. Keep an eye on the sky.
Low (below 50%): Volatile conditions. The sky may surprise you, for better or worse.

the story
Built by a sunrise chaser, for sunrise chasers
I have been chasing sunrises since I was a kid. There is something about standing in the dark, waiting for the sky to catch fire, that never gets old.
For years I wished I could build an app that would tell me exactly when the next great sky was coming, so nobody would have to rely on luck the way I did. I am not a developer, and for a long time that dream stayed just that, a dream.
With AI, that is finally possible. SkyFiire is the app I always wished existed, and I hope it helps you catch more perfect skies.
