Stormeter – Your Early Warning Storm Alarm System Stay ahead of the storm with Stormeter, the ultimate barometric pressure monitoring app designed to keep you informed and safe. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, weather watcher, seasoned sailor, or simply want peace of mind, Stormeter gives you early alerts when sudden pressure drops indicate potential storms like tornadoes, hurricanes, thunderstorms or fast approaching squalls. [Why Choose Stormeter] Storms often arrive with little warning—but changes in atmospheric pressure can reveal them before they strike. Stormeter continuously monitors barometric pressure trends. Using advanced local pressure tracking, real-time alerts, and visual alarms, Stormeter keeps you informed about dangerous weather patterns even when traditional weather forecasts fail to alert you precisely and timely. [Key Features] Real-Time Barometric Monitoring Tracks pressure changes in real time using your device’s built-in barometer (no internet required). For best results, keep the app in foreground and plugged into a power source. Smart Storm Alerts Receive instant alerts with sound, vibration, and full-screen flashing when pressure thresholds indicate danger. Identifies Storm Types Automatically classifies storm alerts as hurricane, tornado, or thunderstorm based on pressure patterns. One-Tap Silence Option Silence the alarm with a single tap—alerts resume if pressure continues to drop. Visual History & Charts View detailed pressure trends with interactive, time-based charts. Fully Local Processing No cloud processing or tracking. Your pressure data stays on your device for maximum privacy. [Customization Options] Set what types of storms are to be monitored Choose how long alarms stay active with auto-timeout options [Perfect for] If tornado warnings are issued and you need to know if one is near you Hikers, campers, and adventurers Boaters and offshore sailors People in storm-prone regions Anyone who appreciates the nostalgic beauty of wheel barometers first invented almost 400 years ago [Important Notes] Stormeter requires a device with a barometric sensor (most newer smartphones support this). Background monitoring may require enabling special permissions or using a future build of the app depending on your platform. While Stormeter offers early pressure-based warnings, it is not a substitute for official weather advisories. Be ready before the storm hits.

Mil Weather turns scattered weather lookups into a single planning screen. Enter a location by town, coordinates, or MGRS grid, and get the conditions that drive planning decisions — light, visibility, wind, precipitation, and terrain — in one pass. LOCATION, YOUR WAY Enter a place by town name, latitude/longitude, or MGRS grid, or pull your position from GPS. Conversion runs both directions with full UTM projection math, accurate to one meter — not a lookup table or an approximation. ILLUMINATION AND LIGHT DATA Sunrise, sunset, and the twilight phases. Moonrise, moonset, and phase, computed automatically for your location and date. Percent illumination for the night ahead. WEATHER THAT ANSWERS PLANNING QUESTIONS Temperature, dew point, and wind chill. Wind speed, gusts, and direction. Cloud cover, ceiling height, and visibility. Precipitation probability and expected amount, hour by hour. CALCULATED FIELDS Density altitude for aviation planning. Sea state for coastal and riverine work. Movement rate estimates factoring terrain and conditions. These run on your device and work with no signal. LIVE DATA, PUBLIC SOURCES Forecast and marine data from the National Weather Service and NOAA. Hydrology and river stages from USGS. Sun and moon calculations from the U.S. Naval Observatory. Every request goes over a secure connection to a public government source. WORKS WHEN THE SIGNAL DOESN'T Coordinate conversion, illumination math, density altitude, dew point, wind chill, and movement estimates all run offline on the device. Live forecast data needs a connection; the calculations don't. SAVE YOUR MISSIONS Store planning sessions on your device and pull them back up later. Nothing leaves your phone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-in. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking. Saved data stays on your device and is never transmitted to us — because there is no server to transmit it to. Mil Weather is a planning aid built on public forecast data. Forecasts are estimates. Verify anything that matters against your official sources before it drives a decision.
