Strike Weather is a private, no-nonsense weather app for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch that shows what's happening now and what's next. YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE A live sky that matches the conditions, the temperature, a plain-English summary, a 48-hour chart of temperature, rain, wind, humidity or UV, and up to 10 days ahead. Tap any day for its hours, wind, UV, rain and sunrise and sunset. RADAR, TWO HOURS BACK TO A WEEK AHEAD Your nearest NEXRAD radar site, or a wide-area mosaic covering the US, Canada and Germany. Scrub back two hours of real radar, look an hour ahead with an on-device estimate, then out to a day or a week. Add storm cells, warnings, hurricanes, lightning, wildfires, flowing wind, smoke, satellite clouds or burn bans, and star your favorites. BURN BANS Counties under a burn ban are shaded on the radar in Tennessee, Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Arkansas, Washington and Wyoming, and a reminder shows under the forecast when your place is in one. ON YOUR WRIST The temperature, rain starting soon, the next hours and the week on Apple Watch, with complications for your watch face. RAIN ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN A Live Activity shows rain or snow on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island whenever it's happening or about to start. WIDGETS Home Screen widgets with a sky that follows the weather, a warning banner and a next-hour rain strip, a radar widget, and Lock Screen gauges for the chance of rain, UV, wind and sunrise and sunset. KNOW BEFORE IT RAINS A banner says when rain or snow will start, how heavy it will be and how long it should last. Rain alerts can notify you 5 to 30 minutes ahead. TIME MACHINE What was the weather on your birthday? Pick any date back to 2001 and see it hour by hour, next to today. EVERY READING, EXPLAINED Tap a reading, from Feels Like to UV and Pressure, for a plain-language explanation and a chart. ACHIEVEMENTS A trophy button lists achievements to unlock as you explore. Some are hidden. YOUR WEATHER SOURCE, YOUR CHOICE Automatic uses Apple Weather, and the official service for your country (the National Weather Service, Environment Canada, DWD, SMHI or FMI) takes over if it can't be reached. Or pick one yourself, or MET Norway, or bring your own free Tomorrow.io, OpenWeather or WeatherAPI.com key, kept in your Keychain. SEARCH ANYWHERE Any city in the world, with favorites and your recent places. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No analytics or tracking. Your location goes only to the weather and radar services you use. Your settings and favorites sync through your own iCloud. STRIKE+ Strike+ adds burn bans, Strike Weather on Apple Watch, the rain Live Activity, the radar widget, the Lock Screen gauges, Time Machine, more map layers and experimental features, for you or your family, monthly, yearly or once for good. The forecast, alerts and the radar's warnings stay free. GOOD TO KNOW - Radar and warnings cover the US; the mosaic also covers Canada and Germany; lightning and satellite cover the Americas. - The one-hour radar look-ahead moves existing rain; it can't show storms that haven't formed yet. - Burn bans come from each state's published map, which can take a while to catch up. Check with your county before you burn. - Rain alerts, the Live Activity and widgets are best effort: iOS decides when they can run. - Strike Weather is not a substitute for official warnings. In an emergency, follow your local authorities. DATA SOURCES Apple Weather; National Weather Service and NOAA (radar, lightning, satellite, storm cells, warnings, hurricanes and models); US EPA (UV); Environment and Climate Change Canada; Deutscher Wetterdienst (through Bright Sky); SMHI; Finnish Meteorological Institute; MET Norway (CC BY 4.0); NASA POWER; NASA FIRMS; state forestry agencies and the Bureau of Land Management (burn bans); Tomorrow.io, OpenWeather and WeatherAPI.com with your own key.
