I use different methods for predicting whether the sunrise/sunset is going to be good depending on the lead time. Some people celebrate it in ceremonies and rituals held at sunset to mark various holidays and events. First select a region and then choose either “Lower Dynamics” or “Upper Dynamics” and pick cloud fraction.
If you liked this article, please subscribe to my photography newsletter for tips, tutorials, and teaching announcements. Summer on the bayside brings the dry air through the atmosphere’s surface layers, which gives you a slightly better chance of seeing those beautiful sunsets. I now prefer the light in golden hour over the intense burn that can occur just after the sun goes down.I then made note of how the sunrise/sunset turned out – this helped calibrate how I interpreted the various information sources.
For short time-frame predictions, I try to get a direct read of the cloud cover based on current conditions. The horizon at the South Pole is nearly ten thousand feet high, so it takes longer for the sun to set. The peak color usually occurs perhaps 15-20 minutes before sunrise so that leaves you some time to get to your shooting location or decide if you want to go back to sleep. The removal of the shorter wavelengths of light is due to Rayleigh scattering by air molecules and particles much smaller than the wavelength of visible light (less than 50 nm in diameter).
It is a representation of the average color of clouds when the sunlight from a sunset is reflected from them.

This sunset coloring page features a surreal landscape that looks like something out of a fantasy novel. This leaves only the gorgeous warm yellows, oranges, pinks and reds to illuminate the underside of the clouds.This matched up with predictions of cloud density and altitude of the cloud base from Windy (ECMWF).
For the rest of the year, the direction of sunset rotates about this westerly, moving northerly in winter and towards the south in summer. Sunset is also an excellent time for evening activity because fewer people are out on the street, and it’s not as loud. I still use the same tools for determining whether I think the golden hour is going to turn out well. So does that mean students need to get out a ruler to draw a big line down the center of their paper before they start?
Ultimately I was wrong as the colors never materialized, either before sunset during golden hour or immediately afterwords during the burn phase. At sunrise and sunset, when the path through the atmosphere is longer, the blue and green components are removed almost completely, leaving the longer wavelength orange and red hues we see at those times.
