WeatherGraph is a simple but powerful weather app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch which displays weather forecasts in the United States from the National Weather Service (NWS) in an easy to read graphical format. WeatherGraph uses the highest quality weather data available - the same forecast and observations used by academic researchers and meteorologists. WeatherGraph features 24 hours of observations and 7 days of forecasts for the locations you choose and has the ability to display record highs and lows for each weather station you follow. WeatherGraph also has Home Screen and Lock Screen Widgets showing a graph of upcoming weather conditions and an Apple Watch app with complications showing the highs and lows and rain probability for the next 2 days. Due to the fact that all data comes from NWS/NOAA, this app will only provide weather forecasts for the United States of America.

About

Halcyon Weather

Features
Read full description

Halcyon is a calm, honest weather app for iPhone, Apple Watch, and the Home Screen. It turns the forecast into one clear sentence — what's likely, what to plan around, what's safe to skip — instead of throwing dashboards at you. — TODAY BRIEF A short, plain-language summary of the next twelve hours: rain risk, UV, wind, and the comfort of being outside. Built from Apple Weather data, written like a friend who happens to read the chart. — HEADS UP A glanceable card surface with what actually matters: rain soon, strong wind, freeze risk, severe weather. Confidence is labelled when conditions are changing — Halcyon won't fake certainty. — BEST WINDOWS Halcyon looks ahead at the next twelve hours and recommends the best window to walk, commute, or plan an evening — no more guessing whether the rain hits before or after you leave. — ON THE WATCH AND HOME SCREEN A focused Apple Watch app and a Home Screen widget keep current conditions one glance away. — FREE OR AD-FREE Halcyon is free with two unobtrusive native ads on the forecast page. If you'd rather support the app without ads, Halcyon Ad-Free is $6.99 per year. Severe weather alerts stay free for everyone — Halcyon never paywalls danger. Forecast data is provided by Apple Weather (WeatherKit). Halcyon is built by an independent developer and is not a substitute for official severe-weather alerts. Always cross-reference with your local emergency broadcast.

The call
