Weather On The Gogh — CILLIAN CREATES

Weather On The Gogh — See the Weather Through the Eyes of Van Gogh

Weather sites, although functional, can be incredibly boring, with charts, bar graphs, squiggly lines, and way too many icons.

But what if checking the daily weather was not just informative, but inspirational?

An artistic experience where you get an hourly forecast and also learn about one of the greatest impressionist painters of all time, Vincent van Gogh…

Introducing Weather On The Gogh, the first-ever weather site that presents the hourly forecast through a Van Gogh painting.

How We Did It.

We started by building a custom AI model trained on traditional weather sites and meteorological data, all the important (but boring) stuff.

Then, we turned to art. Using visual pattern recognition, the AI model analysed over 150 Van Gogh paintings, identifying rainfall, cloud cover, humidity, temperature, atmospheric conditions, and time of day.

Each painting was then matched to a specific weather forecast, turning raw data into an expressive masterpiece.

And yes, it’s location-specific.

So no matter where you are in the world, you’ll see your weather through the eyes of Van Gogh.
