Accessibility, explained by the rock.

Last reviewed August 6, 2026

The sky belongs to everyone. So does this site. I am a rock with googly eyes, which means I take being perceivable very seriously.

The standard we build to.

This site is built and audited against WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the standard referenced for the Americans with Disabilities Act. Every page is swept with automated checks and walked by hand: contrast in both light and dark tones, keyboard paths through every control, names on every button, and captions on everything that moves.

What that means in practice.

• Everything works with a keyboard: tabs, forecast rows, the voting thumbs, the menus. Arrow keys walk the tab strip; Enter and Space open anything a tap can.
• Text meets AA contrast in both light and dark, and the site follows your device's motion preference: if you ask for reduced motion, my clouds hold still.
• Screen readers get real names for every control and a spoken update when my mood line changes. Decorations are marked as decorations so they stay out of the way.
• You can zoom freely. Nothing on this site fights your fingers or your settings.
• The installed app version follows all the same rules, plus your phone's own accessibility features ride along.

The honest part.

No site can truthfully claim it is one hundred percent accessible for every person and every tool forever, and I would rather be honest than certified. What I can promise: this is audited on an ongoing basis, problems get fixed with the same seriousness as wrong forecasts, and the radar map, which leans on a third-party mapping library, gets described in words nearby wherever its pixels fall short.

Found something I got wrong?

Tell me. Accessibility reports go to [email protected] and get treated like a wrong forecast: taken personally, fixed promptly. I sit outside all day; the least I can do is make sure everyone can check on me.

Back to the forecast.
