Live Weather Forecast
7-Day Sunrise Forecast
The 7-day cards show hourly weather forecasts for 04:00, 05:00, 06:00 and 07:00 (Türkiye local time). Cancellation-risk estimates are shown for the next five days. The wind score is calculated from the average wind gust across these four hours. The highest hourly rain probability sets the minimum risk level: 0–39% Low, 40–50% Medium and 51–100% High. The final result uses the higher risk level from wind and rain; low rain probability does not reduce a higher wind risk. Surface wind speed, precipitation amount and visibility are displayed for reference and do not affect the score. Days 6–7 show weather data without a risk estimate. These figures are planning estimates, and the official Cappadocia Slot Service Center (SSC) decision always overrides the forecast.
