What's New in Sensecast

v1.3.0

November 3, 2026

Sensecast 1.3.0: Averages, widgets get more customization, and so much more. Averages: today, graded against the climate (Pro) - A new tile in the Current Conditions deck compares today's forecast high to the 25-year climate normal for that date. The hero is a signed delta in a warm or cool accent ("+18°"). There's above/below/near copy and the Today vs Average rows adjacent to it. The normals are derived server-side from NASA POWER (MERRA-2) daily reanalysis, smoothed over a +/-10 day window and cached once per ~0.5° grid cell forever. So it's a single endpoint call per location and then reads from disk. Free users see a locked teaser that takes you to the paywall. Both the Weather Academy and the data provider attribution list will have the source. Widget Board picks deepen on both natives - The little widget's metric pill is no longer always rain chance. It's now a per-widget choice of rain chance, feels like, humidity, wind, AQI, or UV (all of which are resolved on all devices). The medium widget gains a daily-forecast strip with 3-5 day options in addition to its metrics column and hourly band. Reliability - The model rows and comparison matrix no longer drop to "No Data" on slow cold starts; per-provider calls allow 12 seconds so the chained fetches (NOAA points->grid->forecast, the WeatherKit signing proxy) can complete. A throwing row callback can't now overwrite a good result or take the fan-out down with it. - WeatherKit proxy normalizes lang prior to minting the cache keys so a malformed value can't blow out a second slot for the same Apple URL. The health/admin report now shows the signing config. Other Fixes - The daily card expanded rows have the date and condition label on separate lines. The first tick on the hourly strip is now a clock time rather than "Now". - Hazard-map state is guarded against ref.mounted after each await, closing a race with screen unmounts. - More bug fixes, performance improvements, and security fixes. As always, if you have any suggestions or notice a bug... Send us an email at support@sensecast.app or use the Support section inside the app.

Love it

One of the best weather apps I had. I really like the power grid tracker. When the power is out due to bad weather I can check the grid and weather at the same time
