The Veabird score

One grade for every day outside.

Every place and every date gets a letter grade from A+ to F for what you are planning, built from the details that matter for that trip. Higher is always better. Hit the A range and it is a bluebird day: the clear, sunny day after a storm.

Why “Veabird”? Vea is Spanish for “see.” We help you see the bluebird day coming.

Forecasts you can check

Built to be right, and to show when it isn't.

Verified in public

Snow forecasts are scored every day against SNOTEL stations. The sargassum model is tested on years it never trained on, against simple baselines, and the scores are published.

The best open data

ECMWF, GFS, ICON and GEM global models, high-resolution regional models, NOAA marine, hurricane and satellite data, and USGS river gauges.

Made for the day out

Raw weather becomes what you care about: fresh powder on the run you like, a clean beach, calm water for the kids.
