Tired of checking five different weather apps and getting five different answers? MeanWeather averages data from multiple reliable forecast models to give you one accurate, simplified picture of your day. And unlike most weather apps, MeanWeather is private. It never tracks, stores, or sells your location. Uses your general location only to fetch your forecast, then it's gone. Key Features: ONE ACCURATE FORECAST: MeanWeather blends multiple leading weather models — Best Match, ECMWF, Germany's DWD, and the US GFS — into a single, dependable forecast. The same data meteorologists rely on, so you check one app, not four. DOG PAW SAFETY: Pavement heats up far faster than air in direct sun. MeanWeather tracks pavement heat all day so you know when it's safe to walk your dog — with breed categories, senior dog adjustments, and safe walk-time windows. UV REALITY TEMPERATURE: Not just air temperature — MeanWeather factors in UV intensity, wind, and humidity to show how hot it will actually feel out in the sun. UV BURN TIME: Based on your skin type, roughly how long before your skin risks burning in current conditions. STORM AWARENESS: A quiet icon appears on your weather card when a thunderstorm is in the forecast — amber for a storm risk, red when hail is possible. No alarms, just a heads-up. U.K. Met Office Weather Warnings via The National Severe Weather Warnings Service (NSWWS). Separate from the storm icon in the main weather card, which is MeanWeather's own forecast-based signal. MUGGY WARNING: Flags when the air genuinely feels sticky, based on dew point rather than raw humidity — so a cool rainy day won't trigger a false alarm the way a hot, still evening will. RAIN JACKET ADVICE: No confusing percentages — just a straight answer: leave it, pack it, wear it, or definitely take it. New rain graph within its expandable card. MORNING BRIEFING: Daily 8am notification with peak "feels like" temperature, UV, rain chance and sunset time. Dog owners get pavement safety and the day's best walk-time window too. LIVE TIDAL DATA, WORLDWIDE: Real-time tide charts covering the UK and Ireland (ADMIRALTY data), the Atlantic coast of mainland Europe and Norway, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, and the US — with authoritative NOAA station data for tricky US harbours like New York. Shows current tide state, next high and low water, and tide swing. Appears automatically within 25km of any covered coastline, with luna fallback. SAFE TO SWIM: Live sea temperature and official water quality ratings for UK beaches, plus real-time storm overflow monitoring in Devon & Cornwall — know before you go in. UK BEACH INFO: Hundreds of beaches across England, Wales and Scotland, with live dog-restriction rules verified from official council PSPOs. If a seasonal ban ends at 7:00pm, your beach card turns green at 7:01pm. MOON PHASE: Days to the next full and new moon, tonight's sunset, and spring tide warnings when the lunar cycle affects tidal range. MORE: A 10-day outlook (days 8–10 shown as estimates). Save home, work and holiday locations, with holiday spots that auto-delete when you're back. A glanceable home screen widget. Beach dog restrictions and water quality remain UK-specific in this version. Tidal data covers the UK, Ireland, mainland Europe, Norway, Australia, New Zealand, the US, and Hawaii. MeanWeather is a premium app with a 7-day free trial. All features are included in a single subscription, no "in app" tricks!. I'm always adding features — many ideas to come! Contains ADMIRALTY® tidal data: © Crown copyright and database right. US tidal predictions from NOAA CO-OPS. Other international tidal data from Open-Meteo Marine. Water quality data from the Environment Agency and Natural Resources Wales, under the Open Government Licence. Storm overflow monitoring (Devon & Cornwall) from South West Water via Water UK's National Storm Overflow Hub. Standard Apple EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
