Bad Timing: what might interfere with your event? A map pinned on Lisbon

public data sources checked: 34

You pick a date for a birthday or a meetup, send the invitations, and only then find out there's a derby, a road closure or a storm that evening.

Bad Timing checks a place and time against 34 public data sources: football and TV schedules, ticketed events, public and school holidays, weather warnings, road closures and transit alerts, even earthquakes and wildfires. Every finding links to its source and says how much to trust it.

For each clash you choose: avoid it, doesn't matter, or plan around it. Ask for alternatives and it re-checks earlier times the same day, or the same time on other days. A source it couldn't reach is never counted as all clear.

A Bad Timing report: 3 overlaps to consider, two road closures and sunset, each with avoid it, doesn't matter or plan around it

The Bad Timing form: venue, indoor or outdoor, kind of event, start and duration
