## How it works

Golden hour is when the sun is between 6° above and 4° below the horizon. The likelihood combines the forecast of low and mid cloud along the line of sight toward the sunset, which can block the sun, with mid and high cloud overhead, which catch the colour, plus rain chance and air pollution. It is a forecast-based estimate, not a guarantee.
