CloudBrew is the weather app that tells you what to do about the weather. Every morning, get a clear read on your day — the temperature, how it really feels, and exactly what to wear for it. No decoding forecasts. Just open CloudBrew and know. A WEATHER GAUGE YOU'LL ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND See where you are now and where the day is headed on a single gauge, with feels-like factored for humidity and wind. ADVICE THAT FITS THE CONDITIONS CloudBrew knows snow isn't rain, that freezing rain needs different shoes, and that an umbrella is useless in a strong wind. The guidance matches what's actually falling. BUILT AROUND YOUR ACTIVITIES... Pick what you're doing and the advice follows. Running? It dresses you lighter, because you generate heat. Cycling? It weighs the wind and road grip. Heading out tonight? It shows the evening's temperature drop so you're not caught freezing on the walk home. Tell CloudBrew whether you walk, drive, or cycle and the getting-around advice adapts too. AND HOW YOU GET AROUND Ice means short steps on the platform if you're walking, and black ice on bridges if you're driving. Same weather, the advice that fits. KNOW WHEN, NOT JUST WHETHER Not just "60% chance" — CloudBrew reads the hour-by-hour forecast and tells you when to expect rain, or honestly says when it's just a passing chance. SEVERE WEATHER, WITH INSTRUCTIONS Official warnings arrive with real guidance on how to respond. YOUR MORNING BRIEFING Tap once for a short, conversational rundown of the whole day. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Add the widget to see the temperature and today's advice without opening anything. Weather data provided by Apple Weather.
