WASM Weather

WASM Weather gives you the forecast where you actually are — down to the neighbourhood, across all 22 countries of the Arab world. Most weather apps hand you one model's opinion. WASM is built on W.DMM, our own forecasting engine: it blends several of the world's leading global weather models into a single forecast, then checks it against real observations on the ground. When the models disagree, we settle it rather than passing the disagreement on to you. WHAT YOU GET • Hourly detail for the next five days: temperature, how it actually feels, wind, humidity, cloud, chance of rain and visibility. • The SWAS index: a single score from 0 to 100 for how workable each hour is, built from the factor that matters most in that hour rather than an average that hides it. • Severe weather made explicit: dust, fog, thunderstorms and heat stress are scored, not buried inside an icon. • Weather alerts for your location: a notification the evening before and on the morning of a day with rain, dust, wind, heat or cold. Switch them off whenever you like. • Your own settings: °C or °F, km/h or m/s, 12- or 24-hour time, applied everywhere in the app. • Favourites: follow the cities that matter to you and move between them with one tap. • Weather news in both Arabic and English. • A full Arabic and English interface, including right-to-left layout. BUILT FOR THIS REGION Forecasting the Gulf and the Levant is not the same problem as forecasting northern Europe. Dust, extreme heat, coastal humidity and sharp desert temperature swings each get specific treatment here, because they are what actually decides whether a day is workable. LOCATION WASM asks only for your approximate, city-level location, and for one purpose: to find the nearest supported area to you. Your location is not stored on our servers, and the app works without it — you can simply pick your area from the list. FREE WASM Weather is free and supported by ads.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Wx Models at none against WASM Weather's shown. WASM Weather's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
