Read the Sky

  • Post‑rain evenings: clear air, vivid distance.
  • Windy winter days: razor‑sharp horizons; dress warm.
  • Humid summer: lean into night for sparkle.

Forecast Tactics

  • Check cloud height and coverage; high, broken clouds often deliver dramatic sunsets.
  • If visibility dips, shift to twilight or full night.
  • Flexible tickets preserve your best window; VIP helps on crowded days.

Tip: If clouds are high and broken, sunset drama can be spectacular.
