Weather Chronolocation
A Weather2Geo-style chronolocation aid: enter the temperature and the local time shown in a posted weather-widget screenshot, and this matches them against recent weather across major world cities to narrow down where it was taken. Powered by Open-Meteo, entirely in your browser.
What is chronolocation?
Chronolocation uses time-linked evidence — sun position, shadows, or weather — to narrow where and when something happened. A weather-widget screenshot is a strong clue: the temperature, condition, and local clock time at a moment are different across the world. This tool compares that snapshot against recorded weather for many cities to shortlist candidates. It narrows possibilities; it is an aid, not a positive identification.
Frequently asked questions
How does weather-based chronolocation work?
A posted weather widget shows the local temperature, condition, and time at one moment. By comparing those values against recorded weather for many cities at that local hour, you can shortlist the places where the conditions match and rule out the rest.
How accurate is it?
It narrows candidates rather than pinpointing a spot — several cities can share a temperature. Treat the ranked list as leads to combine with other cues like sky, daylight, language, and architecture.
What date range works?
Best for dates within roughly the last three months, which the free Open-Meteo data covers well. Very old dates may return no data.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The matching runs in your browser against the public Open-Meteo API; Max Intel stores nothing.
