Weather changes. Your plans can stay one step ahead. WeatherSight turns the forecast into a clear, practical plan for your day. Instead of making you decode charts, percentages, and rows of numbers, it explains what conditions mean through the parts of the day you already know—morning, afternoon, evening, and the hours that matter to you. See how the day will feel. Choose the time range you are planning for. Get outfit guidance for those hours and useful suggestions for what to bring. When conditions shift, WeatherSight helps you understand when—not just stare at another weather number. FROM FORECAST TO ACTION • Understand today at a glance, in clear language • See how the weather is likely to feel throughout the day • Choose a time range and get outfit guidance for those hours • Know what may be useful to bring, from an extra layer to rain protection • Spot when meaningful changes in conditions are expected • Follow the next 20 hours and plan ahead with a 10-day forecast • Explore feels-like temperature, rain and snow, wind, UV, air quality, and pollen when you want more detail • Keep your forecast and outfit guidance visible with Home Screen widgets • Receive an optional local 7:30 AM morning weather and outfit notification • Search for a city or optionally use your current location • Use WeatherSight in English or Turkish No ads. No account. No tracking. Just weather made useful. PRIVACY BY DESIGN WeatherSight has no account, advertising, analytics, or cross-app tracking. Current-location access is optional and requested only while you use the app; city search remains available instead. Selected coordinates, weather requests, and city-search text are sent securely to Open-Meteo only to provide the requested app functionality. Preferences and cached weather data use app-local storage and are not linked to an account. The operating system may manage local app data in backup or device-transfer flows according to platform settings. Weather data: Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0). WeatherSight interprets and summarizes source data. Forecasts can change and are not guaranteed.
