StationCast turns personal weather stations into places you can check on — home before bed, the harbor before you head out, the backyard where rain hits first. It shows only what a station actually measured, or what can be calculated from physical reality — never forecasts dressed up as fact. • Real readings — temperature, feels-like, humidity, wind, pressure, and rainfall straight from the station, in your units. • A sense of the sky — the background shifts with the current condition, day or night, and the sun arc shows where you are in the day. At night, the icon shows the real lunar phase. • What changed — daily high/low "today so far," pressure trend, and 24-hour charts make the movement obvious. • Your places — save stations, label them (Home, Work, Beach), and move between them fast. • At a glance — a home-screen widget and Apple Watch app keep your station one look away. Ask Siri, or find a saved station in Spotlight. StationCast hides what isn't there: no empty tiles for sensors a station doesn't have, no sun or UV readings after dark.
