How to use the SunorSnow weather dashboard

SunorSnow shows live conditions and short-range forecasts for up to six cities side by side, so you can compare places at a glance instead of opening six tabs. It is free, needs no account, and works on phones as well as desktops.

  1. Add a city

    Start typing a city name in the search box, pick the right match from the suggestions (they include the region and country, which helps with places like Paris, Texas), then press “+ Add City”.

  2. Compare up to six

    Each city gets its own card with the local time, today’s high and low, current conditions, the “feels like” temperature, humidity, wind speed, pressure, UV index and a colour-coded air-quality bar.

  3. Look ahead

    Swipe the 24-hour strip on each card for hour-by-hour temperatures (the current hour is highlighted), and check the three-day outlook with highs, lows, the chance of rain and the strongest wind expected each day.

  4. Switch units

    Use the °C / °F buttons to change temperature, and the wind setting for km/h or mph. Your city list and units are remembered on this device the next time you visit.

Live data comes from WeatherAPI.com and refreshes each time a card loads. For long-term averages — how hot July usually is, or which month is wettest — use our city climate guides instead.

What is Weather, Exactly?

Understanding the weather is more than looking at a cloud — it's about data, physics, and global patterns. At SunorSnow, we believe understanding the "why" behind the weather helps you plan your life better.

Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a specific place and time, driven by four main ingredients:

  • Temperature: The amount of heat in the air.
  • Air Pressure: The weight of the air above us.
  • Humidity: The amount of water vapour in the air.
  • Wind: Movement of air from high-pressure to low-pressure areas.
How Do We Predict the Future?

Meteorologists use Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP). Supercomputers take data from satellites, weather balloons and ground stations and solve complex equations to see how air will move and change over the next few days.

Did you know? Short-term forecasts (1–3 days) are now accurate over 90% of the time, but because the atmosphere is a "chaotic system," 7-day forecasts are much harder to pin down.
Understanding High and Low Pressure

You've likely seen "H" and "L" on weather maps:

  • High Pressure (H): Air pressing down — gives clear, sunny skies.
  • Low Pressure (L): Air rising and cooling — brings rain, snow, or storms.

What each reading means

Temperature and “feels like”

The air temperature is measured in the shade. “Feels like” adjusts it for humidity in hot weather (heat index) and for wind in cold weather (wind chill), which is why 34°C in a humid city can feel above 40°C.

Chance of rain

The probability that measurable rain or snow falls at that location during the period. A 40% chance does not mean it will rain 40% of the day; it means rain is possible but not certain, so check the hourly timeline.

Humidity

Relative humidity is how close the air is to saturation. High humidity makes heat feel heavier because sweat evaporates more slowly; very low humidity dries skin and eyes.

Wind

The sustained wind speed now, and the strongest sustained wind expected on each forecast day. Gusts can be noticeably stronger than the average, especially near coasts and between tall buildings.

UV index

The strength of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation: 0–2 low, 3–5 moderate, 6–7 high, 8–10 very high, 11+ extreme. Sun protection is worth using from 3 upward, even on cool or hazy days.

Air quality (AQI)

A summary of pollutants such as fine particles (PM2.5) and ozone, on the US EPA scale: Good, Moderate, Unhealthy for sensitive groups, Unhealthy, Very unhealthy and Hazardous. The coloured bar on each card follows that scale.

Pressure

Shown in millibars (mb), which are the same as hectopascals (hPa); the average at sea level is about 1013 hPa. Falling pressure often signals unsettled weather on the way, while rising pressure usually means conditions are improving.

High and low

Today’s high is the warmest temperature expected during the day, usually mid-afternoon; the low is the coolest, usually just before sunrise. A big gap between them is typical of dry, clear places such as desert cities.

Dashboard questions

Is SunorSnow free?

Yes. The dashboard, the climate guides and the articles are free to use, with no sign-up. The site is supported by advertising.

Why does the forecast change during the day?

Forecasts are updated as new observations arrive from satellites, weather balloons and ground stations. Short-range forecasts (one to three days) are the most reliable; beyond about a week, treat them as trends.

Why does my phone show a slightly different temperature?

Weather apps use different data providers and different measuring points. A difference of one or two degrees between sources is normal, especially in large cities with hills or coastlines.

Where is my city list stored?

In your own browser on this device. Nothing is sent to an account, and clearing your browser data resets the list.
