Best weather app for AP in Singapore

[cytan299]

Hi everyone,
I used to use Astrospheric to check whether the sky will be clear for AP. Unfortunately, AP doesn't work in Singapore because the satellites it uses doesn't cover here. (Well, at least the free version deosn't). What's the best app to use in Singapore?

Thanks!

I rely on live images from the Himawari-8 weather satellite (https://www.data.jma.go.jp/mscweb/data/ ... p?area=ha4). Forecast apps are pretty hit-and-miss.

Thanks! Looks like a great resource.

I've been here for the last three weeks and it's been raining or cloudy and raining or cloudy and raining or cloudy ... what are the best months to even think of doing AP?

There was reasonably good skies around southern skies on 29-04-2024 from about 10pm to 1am. I manage to make a few quick snaps of a few objects in the vicinity.
