Wildflyer FireWeather

Features
Read full description

Wildflyer FireWeather shows the weather the way wildfire people read it. One timeline, seven days back and seven days ahead. Humidity, wind, rain and temperature - the readings that decide whether tomorrow is an ugly day - on a single chart you scrub with your thumb, plus a plain list when you want the numbers. WHAT IT SHOWS - Relative humidity, and how low it drops each afternoon - Wind and gusts, with direction - Rain, today and over the last week - Fire Weather Index and drought, rated rather than just numbered - Sunrise and sunset ANY PLACE Search for a place or use your location. Save the handful you actually care about and switch between them. It opens on a place, not on a permission dialog. ALERTS, IF YOU WANT THEM Ask to be told about the days that do not look dangerous but are. A morning brief before you step outside, tomorrow's read in time to change a shift, or the week ahead when you plan it. You pick the place and the occasion; there are no thresholds to set. Nothing arrives until you turn an alert on, and turning it off removes it completely. AN ACCOUNT ONLY IF YOU WANT ONE Everything above works without signing in. An account (your email and a one-time code, no password) is only for saving places that follow you between devices, and for a membership. MEMBERSHIP Free saves 3 places with a 4-day forecast. Plus saves 10 places with a 7-day forecast. Pro saves unlimited places, with unlimited alerts and a 14-day forecast. Plus and Pro are yearly subscriptions: the price is shown in the app before you buy, the subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and you manage or cancel it in your Apple ID settings.
