Parallel

Parallel is a weather app for people who live between two scales. Most apps make you choose: Celsius or Fahrenheit, one or the other. Parallel shows both, every time — current conditions, the hourly timeline, and the full 10-day forecast, all in °C and °F at once. No toggling. No mental math. No "wait, is that hot?" WEATHER, BOTH WAYS Every temperature appears in both scales, side by side. The current reading, the highs and lows, feels-like, dew point — all dual, all the time. LEAD WITH YOUR UNIT Pick which scale comes first with a single setting. Think in Fahrenheit but check on family abroad? Grew up Celsius but live in the States? Put your number up front and keep the other one right beside it. WHO IT'S FOR – Households where people grew up on different scales – Immigrants and expats keeping one foot in each system – Travelers who don't want to recalibrate every trip – Anyone who's ever had to Google "20C in F" EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT – Current conditions and next-hour precipitation – Hour-by-hour timeline – Full 10-day forecast – Humidity, dew point, highs and lows – Powered by Apple Weather Parallel keeps both scales in view so you never have to translate the weather again.
