WeatherLCD vs Solar Time

Why pay for multiple apps that provide U.S. current conditions, forecasts, and radar, plus marine weather, when you can get it all and much more with WeatherLCD! On land: - Current U.S. weather conditions - Wind Chill/Heat Index - Dewpoint - 3-hour pressure trend - Decoded METARs & TAF data (where available) - Forecasts (including hourly forecasts and snow accumulation forecasts) - In-depth technical discussions - Alerts (including high surf & rip current) - Animated radar (short-range and Regional GOES-16/17) - City/Zip Code search - Map-based Search - Network/GPS location - Metric conversion (except alerts, snow accumulation, and discussion) Alaska weather note: Some Alaska weather data is experimental and may not be available in all areas at all times. On the water: - Buoy observations - Detailed wind, wave, and other marine condition predictions for the U.S. Pacific Atlantic, and Gulf Coasts, plus Alaskan waters and U.S. portions of the Great Lakes, Puerto Rico/U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam/N. Mariana Islands. - Area forecasts farther off shore - Hazardous marine condition bulletins/warnings - Swell height/period for Pacific locations - Text forecasts for Lake Champlain & Lake Tahoe - Metric conversion (except alerts) In the air: - Interactive global air turbulence map primarily based on pilot reports (PIREPS) - Color-coded pins make it easy to grasp turbulence severity - Touch any pin to get details such as reported turbulence altitude range, frequency, and type (chop, clear air turbulence, low-level wind shear, or mountain wave) if reported - Determines aircraft type or airline associated with report, and links to Wikipedia articles. (Note to non-US customers: the vast majority of turbulence reports displayed by WeatherLCD are from the US (incl. AK & air routes to HI) and Canada. A few times a day there are reports from the North Atlantic, Western Pacific, and Caribbean. It is very rare to see data points in other than the aforementioned locations.)

This application shows the apparent solar time, the time you would see on a sundial at your current location. It is the combination of the mean solar time (which depends on the longitude at your current position), the time difference from the solar equation which changes over the year because of the ecliptic path of the earth around the sun and optional daylight saving in the summer. That means the solar time at 12:00pm (noon) is the time of the highest sun position. Features: - see the time difference in detail - toggle the display of the seconds - toggle between 12 and 24 hours - the background color changes according to the time difference from the solar equation - the location is automatically updated when you move - supports all iPhones and all iPads - supports the iPad multitasking (split view, ...)
