About get me the sun

Most travel sites assume you already know where you want to go. This one doesn't. You tell us when you can travel, what you care about, and we tell you where the sun is — and where it isn't — for the next 14 days, across about 50 hand-picked destinations.

The forecasts come from Open-Meteo, refreshed daily. The destinations are chosen and described by a person, not an algorithm. The rankings are based on weather and trip-fit, not on which hotel pays us best.

How we earn

When you click through to book a hotel or flight, we sometimes earn a small commission. You don't pay extra — the booking site does, out of their margin. The partners we link to are Booking.com (via their affiliate programme), Trivago (price comparison), Kiwi.com (flights), and Amazon (travel gear in our small shop).

If you'd rather book directly with the hotel or airline, that's completely fine — sometimes that's the better deal. We aren't trying to be the only path between you and your trip. We're trying to be the best way to figure out where the trip should be.

What we won't do

We don't fake scarcity. There are no “only 2 rooms left!” banners, no countdown timers, no manufactured urgency. We don't rank destinations based on commission rates. We don't write content for SEO that we wouldn't read ourselves. And if a destination is a bad idea in a given month — Phuket in September, mainland Greece in August, Punta Cana in mid-September — we say so plainly, even if it means losing a click.

We think this is the only way an affiliate site is worth running. Every other approach just adds more noise to the internet.

What this can and can't do

The first five days of any forecast are usually reliable. The next five drift a little. The last four are the weather model guessing — better than nothing, not a promise. We show that uncertainty visually (solid bars for days 1–5, dimmed for 6–10, hatched for 11–14) so you can tell at a glance where the confidence sits.

What we're really doing is helping you search for places with good odds the coming weeks — based on the live forecast plus what we know is statistically typical for the season. That's an educated guess, not a guarantee. Two weeks out, weather changes its mind regularly, and even a normally reliable month throws the occasional wet week.

So treat this like a well-informed friend, not an oracle. Read the seasonal notes. Check the forecast again the day before you fly. Do your own digging on the things we can't see — festivals, renovations, the ferry that doesn't run on Tuesdays. We've tried to make finding the right place as simple as possible, at least for the kind of holiday we're built around: warm, calm, somewhere you can put a book on your knee. You still get the final call.

Who built this

One person, A. N. Edvardsen, working from Oslo. This started as a project to learn the tech stack properly. It became something I'd use myself when planning trips, which felt like a sign it might be worth finishing.
