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.

WHAT YOU GET Rain right now. A plain answer about your location, backed by the nearest ground station and radar, not just a forecast. Rain timeline. Hour by hour for today and tomorrow, so you know when a spell starts and when it eases. Seven day forecast. Nine public weather models compared, so you can see where they agree and where they do not. Agreement means confidence. IMD warnings. Official India Meteorological Department alerts for your district, including separate warnings for ghat areas. Stations across India.
