How Sky Snipers works, and what it does with your data

Sky Snipers is a single-screen weather service: current conditions, an hourly curve, a ten-day outlook, live precipitation radar and air quality for any place on earth.

There are no accounts. Your selected location and your unit preference are stored in your own browser so the page opens where you left it.

Every reading on this site is fetched live from a named public source at the moment you open it. Nothing is averaged, guessed or cached between visits beyond your current session.

Temperatures, wind, humidity, pressure, visibility and forecasts come from Open-Meteo, which aggregates national weather service models. Radar imagery is served by RainViewer. Basemaps are rendered by Esri.

Sky Snipers is provided as-is for general information. Forecasts are probabilistic and can be wrong; do not rely on this site as your only source when making safety, aviation, marine or travel decisions.

You may use the interface freely. Automated bulk requests against the underlying data services are not permitted and may be blocked by those providers.

Sky Snipers does not require an account and does not collect names, email addresses or payment details.

Location is only used when you tap “Near me”, is sent directly from your browser to reverse-geocoding and forecast services, and is never stored on a server controlled by this app.

Because no personal profile is created, there is no stored record to export or delete. Clearing your browser storage removes the saved location and unit preference immediately.

If your region grants rights over data held about you, those rights apply to the data services listed under Data Vendors, not to this interface.

The only data kept on your device is your unit preference and your last viewed place. Both are stored locally and never transmitted.

You can clear them at any time from your browser’s site data settings; the app will fall back to a default location.

This site does not set advertising or analytics cookies. Local browser storage is used solely to remember your unit choice and last location.

Open-Meteo — forecasts, current conditions, air quality and pollen.

RainViewer — precipitation radar frames.

Esri, HERE, Garmin and OpenStreetMap contributors — basemap tiles.

BigDataCloud — reverse geocoding for “Near me”.

Sky Snipers targets WCAG 2.2 AA: body text meets AAA contrast against its surface, every control is reachable by keyboard with a visible gold focus ring, readings are labelled for screen readers, and motion is limited to short transitions.

If something is hard to use, describe the screen and the obstacle to the operator of this app and it will be addressed.
