The clearest rain radar for the Netherlands. Open, honest, ad-free. Built on the official rain and weather data from KNMI — the same source used by Dutch journalists and meteorologists. No account. No tracking. No hidden subscriptions. Just knowing whether to grab a jacket. LIVE RAIN RADAR See up to two hours ahead, anywhere in the Netherlands. The radar plays back at a smooth 60 fps, with a time slider that responds the way you'd expect. Zoom in to street level, zoom out to the whole of Europe. 8-DAY HOURLY FORECAST Temperature, chance of rain, wind speed and direction — everything in one view, for any point in the country. RAIN ALERTS THAT MAKE SENSE One push notification just before it starts raining at your location. Not ten. OpenWeer reads the KNMI radar every five minutes and knows exactly when to ping you. WIDGETS AND LIVE ACTIVITY Put the weather and rain radar on your Home Screen or Lock Screen. During a shower, the Dynamic Island shows a live countdown — no need to open the app. ASK OPENWEER "Should I leave now to get home dry?" "Can I hang the laundry outside?" Ask in plain English and get an answer grounded in the latest measurement. PRIVACY BY DEFAULT • Fully open-source under the MIT license. Read the code on GitHub. • Weather data from KNMI (CC-BY-4.0), credited as required. • No account, no ads, no tracking. Your location stays on your phone. • No ad networks, no analytics cookies, no hidden costs. MADE IN THE NETHERLANDS OpenWeer is an independent project running on open data and open code — for anyone who wants to know what the weather's doing, without the noise. Ideas, issues, or pull requests welcome at github.com/openweer/openweer.

AtmoPulse shows more than a forecast — it shows the pulse of the atmosphere. Most weather apps give you a number. AtmoPulse gives you movement: a live chart where temperature, wind, pressure and humidity shift second by second, so you can see the weather changing instead of just reading about it. LIVE TELEMETRY A real-time chart of micro-changes with a measurement log. Switch between temperature, wind, pressure and humidity, watch the trend, and pause the stream whenever you like. WEATHER ALERTS The app warns you on its own: strong wind and gusts, thunderstorm activity, a high UV index, severe frost. FULL FORECAST • 24-hour forecast with precipitation probability • 7-day forecast with temperature ranges • Feels-like, dew point, cloud cover, visibility, barometric pressure AIR QUALITY European AQI with a clear verdict, plus PM2.5, PM10, NO2, O3 and SO2 readings. SUN & DAY Sunrise, sunset, day length and the sun's live position along its arc. WEATHER RADAR An interactive map with precipitation, temperature and wind layers, centred on your city. COMPARE CITIES Put your current city and your favourites side by side — sorted from warmest to coldest, with the warmest and coldest highlighted. Handy before a trip. ANY CITY IN THE WORLD Search any city by name in your own language, or detect your location with one tap. Popular cities are sorted by distance from where you are. EIGHT INTERFACE LANGUAGES English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish — including weather descriptions, dates and units. BUILT TO RESPECT YOU No accounts. No sign-up. No ads. No analytics. No tracking. Your cities and settings never leave your iPhone. Completely free, with no in-app purchases. Weather data by Open-Meteo. Requires iOS 17 or later.
