Weather Alarm lets you set alarms that only go off when specific temperature conditions are met. Instead of waking up and checking the forecast, let the forecast wake you up. How it works: Set a temperature condition — above, below, or between a range — pick a location and a time window, and Weather Alarm handles the rest. When the temperature hits your threshold during your chosen window, you get alerted. Use it for: - Frost warnings for your garden or farm - Knowing when it's warm enough to skip the heavy coat - Cold snaps that mean you need to protect pipes or pets - Planning outdoor activities around the right conditions Features: - Temperature alarms with above, below, or range conditions - Flexible scheduling — choose active days and a check window - GPS location or manual search for any US location - Push notification or full-screen alarm with sound - Upload your own custom alarm sounds - Current conditions and 12-hour hourly forecast - Fahrenheit or Celsius display - Snooze support - Dark mode - No account required — your data stays on your device - 100% free with no ads Weather data is provided by the National Weather Service (weather.gov). US locations only.

PingWeather is the weather alert app for people who need more than a daily forecast. Instead of checking the weather constantly, let PingWeather monitor conditions and notify you only when they match your personal rules. CREATE CUSTOM ALERT RULES Set precise thresholds for any weather condition: temperature, precipitation chance, wind speed, UV index, humidity, visibility, and more. Choose "above," "below," or "between" comparisons to fine-tune exactly when you want to be alerted. SMART NOTIFICATION CONTROL Never get spammed again. Define time windows for when alerts are active, set maximum notifications per hour and per day, enforce minimum intervals between alerts, and configure quiet hours so you only hear from us when it matters. DUAL WEATHER ENGINE Powered by Apple WeatherKit with automatic Open-Meteo fallback. If one data source goes down, the other takes over seamlessly so you never miss a critical alert. PRIORITY LEVELS Assign Normal, High, or Critical priority to each rule. Critical alerts can break through Do Not Disturb so you always see the most important weather updates.
