Question 1

What is SKYRA?

Accepted Answer

SKYRA is a free weather site for Malaysia and cities worldwide. It shows current temperature, hourly and 7-day outlooks, rain, wind, UV, air quality, and short alerts based on the forecast.

Question 2

Which cities can I look up?

Accepted Answer

Search any city you need. Malaysia coverage includes major metros and many districts, including Petaling, Subang, Sunway, Klang, and Banting.

Question 3

Where does the forecast come from?

Accepted Answer

Forecasts come from Open-Meteo. Place search uses Open-Meteo geocoding. GPS place names use BigDataCloud reverse geocoding. Alerts are built from those forecast fields, not from official IMD bulletins.

Question 4

Can I use Malay, Chinese, or other languages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The site starts in your phone or browser language when possible. You can switch to 70+ languages. UI labels are translated online. Place names use localized geocoding when the provider supports it.

Question 5

Can I get weather for my current location?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Allow location in the browser and the app loads weather for that spot. You can also search by city or open a saved place.

Question 6

Are the alerts official IMD warnings?

Accepted Answer

No. Alerts are tips derived from the live forecast so you can plan your day. They are not IMD colour bulletins.
