Sun direction
Sun position is computed in your browser from a standard solar algorithm, accurate to about a minute. Golden hour is the sun between 4° below and 6° above the horizon. Blue hour is 6° to 4° below. Terrain and buildings aren't modeled, so mountains on the horizon will end your light early. Cloud forecast comes from the US National Weather Service and covers about the next 7 days, US only. City search uses Open-Meteo.
