Solcast vs Perun Weather

Weather That Guides Your Day Most weather apps stop at the forecast. Solcast goes further by turning real time local weather into personalized, actionable guidance for your everyday life. It bridges the gap between raw data and your daily routine, telling you exactly how the conditions affect you and your family. A DAILY BRIEFING TAILORED TO YOUR LIFE Every morning, a single glanceable card delivers up to six prioritized action items. You receive UV protection reminders, rain gear nudges, pollen warnings, ideal dog walking times, and migraine alerts. Every insight is shaped by your personal preferences and physical sensitivities, so you only see what actually matters to you. NATIONAL HOLIDAY AWARENESS Solcast automatically detects public holidays across a wide range of countries and surfaces them as a top priority item in your daily briefing. Whether it is a long weekend, a bank holiday, or a national celebration, you always know when a holiday affects your plans before you step outside. 16 LIFESTYLE INDICES CALCULATED ON DEVICE Solcast tracks dressing comfort, UV exposure, sunscreen (SPF) guidance, eye protection, skin care, flu risk, allergy levels, air quality, outdoor sports suitability, travel conditions, hydration needs, road and traffic safety, car wash timing, air conditioning needs, and home ventilation. All 16 indices are computed locally on your device using real time weather data, with no calculation lag and no personal data sent to any server. SMART OUTFIT RECOMMENDATIONS An intelligent engine selects clothing across seven categories including tops, bottoms, outerwear, footwear, accessories, kids, and pets. It evaluates temperature, precipitation, wind, UV, your dressing style, and your household settings to ensure everyone is dressed right for the conditions. DEEP CUSTOMIZATION Your dashboard adapts instantly to your life. Configure settings for temperature sensitivity, sun sensitivity, allergy awareness, migraine sensitivity, dressing style, outdoor exercise habits, kids, pets, and car ownership. Each setting reshapes the entire experience immediately. SEAMLESS MULTI LOCATION TRACKING Save up to four cities and switch between them instantly. Every location receives its own forecast, lifestyle indices, outfit picks, and daily briefing displayed in that city's local timezone, making it effortless to manage travel or check on family abroad. Your current GPS location is always available and never counts toward the limit.

Perun answers not only what the weather will be, but how reliable that answer is right now. SEVERAL MODELS INSTEAD OF ONE OPINION Most apps present a single weather model as the truth. Perun compares many – and picks them by location: ECMWF, GFS and other global models worldwide, plus high-resolution regional models where you are, such as ICON-D2 in Germany, ICON-2I in Italy, AROME in France, MeteoSwiss ICON in the Alps, HRRR in the USA, HRDPS in Canada or JMA in Japan. Radar and weather stations join in wherever they exist. From this comparison one clear statement emerges – for example: "This evening it will most likely stay dry." THE RELIABILITY VALUE Every statement carries a value between 0 and 100 per cent. It reflects how strongly the sources agree, how consistent they are about timing, whether the radar backs the forecast, how fresh the model runs are and how far ahead the forecast reaches. Every part can be opened up in the app. When the sources contradict each other, Perun says so – instead of feigning certainty. RAIN RADAR WITH THE OFFICIAL NOWCAST Radar measurements and the official two-hour forecast of the German Weather Service, in five-minute steps, as an animation. Forecast frames are clearly marked as such. In Italy Perun shows the radar image of the Civil Protection Department, in Canada and the USA the last two hours of measurements. OFFICIAL WARNINGS Weather warnings from the German Weather Service, the US National Weather Service and Environment Canada, precise for the selected location – with period, description and guidance. Radar, nowcasts and warnings exist only where a weather service provides them openly: Germany, Austria, Scandinavia, Italy, the USA and Canada. Everywhere else, Perun still shows the full model comparison, clothing advice and all metrics – and asks the nearest weather station whether it is raining right now. WHAT TO WEAR From apparent temperature, precipitation, wind and UV index Perun derives a concrete suggestion: jacket, umbrella, sturdy shoes or sun protection. METRICS THAT EXPLAIN THEMSELVES Wind, humidity, pressure, UV index, visibility and cloud cover can be tapped. Each metric explains what it means, places the current value with everyday examples – and warns when it gets critical. ENERGY (OPTIONAL) If you want, Perun combines dynamic electricity prices with your tariff, your PV system and your battery. It calculates the real value of a kilowatt-hour – not the market price alone – and recommends when to buy, self-consume, store or feed in. Off by default; no electricity prices are requested unless you enable it.

The app queries the public weather services directly; only the coordinates of the selected location are transmitted.
