BETTER WEATHER WINDOWS FOR YOUR LISTING
Realtor Photo Planner
Find the best upcoming weather windows for exterior real estate photography for your selected community.
Rain probability and gusts are from NWS where available. Confidence is reduced when a second source cannot verify important inputs. Days without sufficient hourly data show no Photo Score.

Photo Score is a photography planning tool, not an official meteorological measurement. Blue Sky Opportunity is a forecast indicator, not a promise. Drone Conditions describe weather only; they are not permission to fly and do not replace airspace checks, FAA rules, Remote ID requirements, property permission or pilot judgment.
Photo Planner recommendations are based on forecast weather, sun position and the selected direction of the home’s front elevation. Actual lighting, trees, nearby buildings, terrain and local conditions may affect photography.

Sources, availability & how the comparisons work
Forecasts are retrieved on the server and shared across visitors. They refresh approximately every 30 minutes when the site is in use, or later if a provider requires it. The page checks automatically while open. No weather account or paid API subscription is needed.
Times use real timestamps and America/New_York, including daylight saving changes. Requests use the selected community forecast point, rounded to four decimals. Forecast and solar calculations use that location. The observed rainfall gauge remains CoCoRaHS NC-WK-391 in Fuquay-Varina; its totals do not represent every community or property.
MET Norway becomes six-hourly farther out. We do not invent intervening hourly forecasts. Daily temperature ranges are the maximum and minimum of the same four UTC sample times within each local date, or remaining samples today. They can miss the actual daily high and low. Daily condition icons include wet weather forecast during the date. Daily precipitation appears only when the entire remaining local-date period is covered without splitting nonzero multi-hour totals. Daily rain chance is the peak available NWS probability, not an averaged all-day probability.
NWS precipitation is often a six-hour total; it is labeled separately and never averaged against an hourly amount. MET Norway currently supplies no rain probability or gusts for this location. The Photo Planner uses NWS rain risk and gusts, averages comparable temperature, wind and cloud values, and checks available hourly and multi-hour rainfall conservatively. Missing inputs reduce confidence and scores. Beyond available hourly rain-risk data, only the weather outlook and calculated sunlight information are shown.
