You remember summers differently. The heat waves that used to be exceptional now feel routine. The winters that used to be cold barely freeze anymore. Climio shows you the data behind that feeling, for your city, from 1981 to today. Not a weather forecast. A climate history. Your city. Backed by 40+ years of NASA and Copernicus data, Climio covers temperatures, air quality, precipitation and sunshine for any city in the world.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Reful at none against Climio's shown. Reful also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.5). Climio's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
