## What is WxNerd?

Weather Nerd: Advanced, glanceable weather - anywhere on earth. Skiers chasing snow, sailors and kiters timing a wind window, hikers watching a front. Real model data and charts you can read at a glance on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

PICK YOUR MODEL
Most apps blend everything into one forecast and don't tell you how. Pro lets you pick the model behind each location: ECMWF, ICON, GFS, HRRR, NBM, and Canada's GEM family down to 1 km resolution. Short-range models hand off to a longer-range one so the full 10 days are covered. Apple Weather is the free default.

COMPARE THEM ALL
Overlay every model's temperature, precip, and wind. The spread shows you how confident to be.

THE WEATHER MAP
Radar, satellite, clouds, lightning strikes, temperature, precip, wind, pressure, 500 hPa, the jet stream and fall colours. Pick the model that draws each layer and scrub the loop frame by frame. Where a country publishes its own radar composite, it appears next to the global one. Radar and clouds are global. Model layers and satellite imagery are available in the US, Canada and Europe, with coverage varying by source. Part of Pro.

THE DAILY BRIEF
Follow the big weather pattern down to your current location and saved spots, with readable forecast cards and wind-focused outlooks.

THE REST
- Dark instrument-style design with monospace numerals
- 10-day forecast with Temp, Precip, and Wind modes
- Multiple locations with iCloud sync, and forecasts stay readable offline
- Widgets from a quick temperature glance to large Wind and 10-Day boards
- Share images of current conditions, any day, or the full outlook
- El Niño tracker
- English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Dutch

Built for weather nerds. Simple enough for everyone else.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-08-29*

This is the weather app I’ve been looking for. It reflects how I reference the multitude of weather sources/models but all in one place. I can finally draw my own assumptions/conclusions for the certainty or uncertainty in forecasts across many models. Really looking forward to where this goes!

### 5/5 — Great extras

*2026-05-12*

Awesome and reliable forecasts and some really nice perks I have learned to use and trust more than the free apps.  Totally worth it.

### 5/5 — Game changer!

*2026-02-13*

Great layout and functionality. Hyper local, customizable, and intuitive to navigate. Nerdy parts (like forecast model comparison) are handy yet avoid making the app look ‘busy’. Super accurate forecasts using trusted weather models. Amazing, valuable product! 🤗

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.3 — 2026-09-08

YOUR DAILY BRIEF
Start with the big weather pattern, then see what it means for your current location and saved spots. Browse readable cards for the days ahead, with wind and gusts highlighted at wind spots.

NOW IN SIX LANGUAGES
WxNerd now speaks French, German, Spanish, Italian and Dutch - on iPhone, iPad, Mac and in every widget. French comes in two: Quebec and France.

The forecast vocabulary follows each country's own weather service - Environment Canada and Meteo-France, DWD, AEMET, ItaliaMeteo and KNMI - so the words match what you already read at home.

FALL COLOURS
A new fall colour layer on the weather map, built from SCANFI canopy data and a calendar rather than a satellite pass, to estimate the seasonal progression of leaf colour.
- Canada, through to mid-November
- It draws on the plain map too, so you see it without opening the weather map

Also
- the fall colour layer carries its own source line and coverage note, like every other layer
- assorted fixes across the charts and the Mac header

IMPROVED
Weather map controls put layers, models and playback within easier reach. The brief opens in its own panel on Mac, and El Niño chart scrubbing is more accurate.

### 2.2 — 2026-09-05

THE WEATHER MAP
Radar is now a full weather map. Part of Pro:
- Radar, satellite, clouds, lightning strikes, temperature, precip, wind, pressure, 500 hPa and the jet stream
- Pick which forecast model draws each layer
- Scrub the animation frame by frame - it now opens on the newest frame
- National radar composites next to the global one, where available
- Two maps side by side on Mac and iPad

Radar and clouds are global. The model layers and satellite only cover the US, Canada and Austria so far

Open the map from anywhere in the app

Also Added
-the data source footer now says which model run you're looking at and expands to show when each run arrives
-added an All Models button to every 10-day tab
-fixed the Precip tab being empty when snow was on the way - it now charts rain and snow together, each with its own scale
-added wind directions, gusts and a full source line to the expanded wind card
-share cards now export as real PNGs at full resolution
-added wind observations from Canadian weather stations
-fixed the European AQI calculation
-fixed elevation not showing in the Mac header

### 2.1 — 2026-08-24

EL NIÑO TRACKER
Free for everyone:
- NOAA's alert status and the weekly Niño 3.4 reading on a gauge
- Every year since 1981 on one chart
- Widgets, share cards, and an interactive explainer

Find it at the top of your location list

Also Added
-added a new precipitation model comparison view
-fixed the air quality card data
-improved lightning maps - this is an area I still want to improve on in the future

### 2.0.1 — 2026-08-19

INTRODUCING MODEL STITCHING!

Users can now stitch weather models together into a custom forecast for each location. For example, use a high-resolution model for the first two days, then switch to the ECMWF AI model for the longer-range outlook.

WxNerd shows where each model takes over and can use a supporting model to fill gaps like precipitation chance or wind gusts.

WE’VE ALSO ADDED SPOT PROFILES!

Users can choose Everyday, Wind, or Snow for each saved location. Wind spots lead with speed, gusts, and direction. Snow spots lead with the next three days of snow. Each profile also puts the most useful charts first.

### 2.0 — 2026-08-09

WxNerd 2.0 is the biggest update yet. Pick your forecast model, compare them all, track air quality, and run WxNerd on your Mac. The whole app got a redesign too.
