When the next nine hours are meaningfully dry, the module shows actual forecast temperatures at +2, +4, and +6 hours.
The shortest useful horizon.
The face uses Garmin’s cached hourly forecast and selects the earliest meaningful precipitation within nine hours. It then chooses a 3H, 6H, or 9H view. A distant 9H view appears only when precipitation begins later—not as a default.
Rain is the earliest meaningful precipitation.
Snow is the earliest meaningful precipitation.
Mixed or freezing precipitation appears first.
No meaningful precipitation appears within nine hours.
What changes by horizon.
- 3H: each node represents the next individual hour.
- 6H: each precipitation node summarizes a two-hour window.
- 9H: each precipitation node summarizes a three-hour window.
- TEMP 6H: the nodes show temperatures at +2, +4, and +6 hours.
For RAIN, SNOW, and MIX, a bucket displays the highest precipitation chance in its interval. The printed hour is the end of that interval. The watch follows your 12/24-hour setting and crosses midnight naturally.
Missing stays missing. If Garmin has no trustworthy value or forecast time, Burnished Sky Ahead shows --rather than inventing a number.
