Accessibility statement

Updated: November 2026.

We want everyone to be able to use Shamayim. The site was built with the aim of meeting WCAG 2.1 AA and Israeli Standard 5568. It has not yet had an independent professional accessibility audit.

What has been done

• Full keyboard navigation, a "Skip to main content" link and a clear focus indicator.
• Screen-reader support: structured headings, button labels and automatic announcements when the city or forecast changes.
• Colour contrast checked, including dark mode based on device settings.
• Reduced motion when requested through prefers-reduced-motion.
• Text can be enlarged to 200% in the browser without losing content.
• Automated Lighthouse tests show an accessibility score of 100, but automated checks do not cover everything.

Known limitations

• The radar uses an external map library and is not fully accessible to screen readers. Rain information is also available in text.
• The hourly chart is a visual addition. The same data is available in the hourly cards below it.
• The site has mainly been tested in Chrome and Safari on mobile and desktop.

Found a problem? We plan to add a direct way to contact us about accessibility.
