Every day gets a disruption-risk score that factors rain probability, precipitation amount, wind gusts, thunderstorms, snow, and temperature extremes — not just a sunshine icon or a raw "chance of rain." Light rainy days that mess with your plans now show up as MODERATE instead of being hidden in a "2%" disruption bucket. WHAT IT DOES • 7-day disruption-risk forecast with color-coded donuts • Extended 16-day outlook strip • Live radar (RainViewer) blended with model nowcast in one timeline — no conflicting numbers • AI Intelligence Brief grounded in the real forecast data • Deep Analysis: ecological signals, seasonal outlook, historical pattern matches, model insights • Featured cities pre-loaded with current temperature and live risk dots • Bilingual: English / Español PRIVACY FIRST • No account required • Saved cities stay on your device • No tracking or analytics • Optional location permission used only to fetch precise forecasts IMPORTANT Intelligent Weather is informational only. Do not rely on it for professional emergency-response decisions — consult official sources (NWS, AEMET, or your local meteorological service) for life-safety situations.

The clearest difference is ads: Intelligent Weather at none against Cloudbase Weather's shown. Intelligent Weather also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
