Halcyon Weather
Read full descriptionHide full description
Halcyon is a calm, honest weather app for iPhone, Apple Watch, and the Home Screen. It turns the forecast into one clear sentence — what's likely, what to plan around, what's safe to skip — instead of throwing dashboards at you. — TODAY BRIEF A short, plain-language summary of the next twelve hours: rain risk, UV, wind, and the comfort of being outside. Built from Apple Weather data, written like a friend who happens to read the chart. — HEADS UP A glanceable card surface with what actually matters: rain soon, strong wind, freeze risk, severe weather. Confidence is labelled when conditions are changing — Halcyon won't fake certainty. — BEST WINDOWS Halcyon looks ahead at the next twelve hours and recommends the best window to walk, commute, or plan an evening — no more guessing whether the rain hits before or after you leave. — ON THE WATCH AND HOME SCREEN A focused Apple Watch app and a Home Screen widget keep current conditions one glance away. — FREE OR AD-FREE Halcyon is free with two unobtrusive native ads on the forecast page. If you'd rather support the app without ads, Halcyon Ad-Free is $6.99 per year. Severe weather alerts stay free for everyone — Halcyon never paywalls danger. Forecast data is provided by Apple Weather (WeatherKit). Halcyon is built by an independent developer and is not a substitute for official severe-weather alerts. Always cross-reference with your local emergency broadcast.
Multi Weather

Multi Weather lines up official agency forecasts and numerical model output on one screen so you can spot where they disagree at a glance. Instead of trusting a single forecast, compare the official JMA forecast with the output of several models to make on-site Go/No-Go calls faster. ■ Official forecasts and model output together See official forecasts from JMA, MET Norway, Apple and NWS (US), alongside numerical model output from GFS, ECMWF, ICON and more — whichever are available for your location — overlaid on one timeline. Weather symbols (each agency's or model's own classification), precipitation (amount/probability), wind, temperature, cloud cover and humidity, side by side. Data sources: JMA, NOAA GFS, NWS (US), ECCC (Canada, GDPS), MET Norway, ECMWF (IFS, AIFS), ICON model (DWD), HARMONIE model (DMI), Apple Weather. ■ See the disagreement Every source is drawn on the same graph, so the hours where forecasts and model output split are visible at a glance. The way professionals read model differences — in seconds, for anyone. ■ Evidence export (CSV and PDF) Export the comparison as CSV or PDF to share. Hand a clear basis for a stop/postpone decision to clients or contractors. ■ Jump to other services Open JMA, tenki.jp, Yahoo Weather or Windy for the exact spot you're viewing, in an in-app window. ■ Built for the field For construction, civil works, ports, surveying, drones, film shoots, fishing and hiking — anything weather-dependent. Note: This app does not make its own forecast. It shows official agency forecasts (e.g. JMA) and numerical model output as provided, side by side. Numerical model output is not a forecast and may contain large errors. Final decisions are your responsibility. The first 30 days are completely free. To keep using all features afterward, an auto-renewing subscription (monthly or yearly) is required — cancel anytime.
