FAQ

What is Skycast?

Skycast is an informational dashboard that converts airport weather forecasts into “market-style” outcome bins, similar to Polymarket temperature markets, but with no betting or trading.

What does “Now” mean?

“Now” is an airport METAR observation when available. METAR stations, rounding, and update cadence can differ from Weather Underground or other apps, so small differences are normal.

Where do the forecast bins come from?

Bins are computed from forecast model data (Open-Meteo and/or Tomorrow.io depending on configuration). The probabilities are estimates intended for quick comparison, not guarantees.

What time zone is “Today/Tomorrow” based on?

Skycast uses an Eastern Time market-day cut (Polymarket-style) to keep the experience consistent across all airports.

What is the Weather Underground link?

Some real markets reference Weather Underground for settlement. Skycast only displays a reference link for convenience and does not scrape WU.

Can I rely on this for decisions?

No. This tool is provided as-is for educational and informational purposes only. See the Terms for details.
