Open it once in the morning and you'll know what to wear, what to pack, and what the day actually feels like, without scrolling through a wall of weather data. WHAT TO WEAR, NOT JUST THE WEATHER Plumicast reads the forecast and tells you in plain language how the day will feel and how to dress for it. Layers, jacket, umbrella, sunscreen, accessories, all tailored to the conditions you're actually going out in. MEET PLUMI Plumi is a cloud mascot who dresses for the weather alongside you. Sun, rain, snow, wind, or a cold night, the scene matches what's actually happening outside so you feel the forecast the moment you open the app. MODES FOR HOW YOU LIVE Switch between Daily, Work, and Workout modes to get guidance tuned to the moment.
