Most weather apps just say "Cloudy." Visual Weather shows you exactly how cloudy. Visual Weather is the first app to visualize the atmosphere in depth. Our unique pixel-engine renders High, Mid, and Low cloud layers independently, giving you a true picture of the sky before you even step outside. Why Layers Matter: • Photographers: Know when to expect dramatic high-altitude cirrus clouds versus flat grey stratus. • Outdoor Enthusiasts: Gauge cloud height and conditions instantly for hiking, sailing, or stargazing. • Everyone: Understand the difference between a "sunny day with some clouds" and an "overcast day." Two Ways to Explore: • Compact View: Quick hourly forecast with toggleable rain, wind, and gust overlays. • Detailed View: Swipe through beautiful color-coded charts for temperature, cloud layers, precipitation, wind, and humidity. See exactly how conditions change hour by hour. Live Sun Tracker: Watch the sun's path arc across the sky in real-time. See current altitude, time until sunrise or sunset, and how day length is changing throughout the season. Powered by Precision Data: Using high-resolution HRRR models, we map: • Cloud Cover % (High/Mid/Low) • Precipitation Intensity • Wind Speed, Gusts & Direction • Temperature & Humidity Trends • Sun Position & Day Length Features: • Dynamic Pixel-Art Visualization • 16-Day Hybrid Forecast (HRRR + GFS) • Silky-Smooth Radar with Frame Morphing • Live Sun Tracker with Path & Altitude • Color-Coded Hourly Charts • Compact & Detailed View Modes Visual Weather Pro: Unlock the extended 16-day forecast, unlimited locations, and the full interactive radar loop.
