Multi Weather
Read full descriptionHide full description
Multi Weather lines up official agency forecasts and numerical model output on one screen so you can spot where they disagree at a glance. Instead of trusting a single forecast, compare the official JMA forecast with the output of several models to make on-site Go/No-Go calls faster. ■ Official forecasts and model output together See official forecasts from JMA, MET Norway, Apple and NWS (US), alongside numerical model output from GFS, ECMWF, ICON and more — whichever are available for your location — overlaid on one timeline. Weather symbols (each agency's or model's own classification), precipitation (amount/probability), wind, temperature, cloud cover and humidity, side by side. Data sources: JMA, NOAA GFS, NWS (US), ECCC (Canada, GDPS), MET Norway, ECMWF (IFS, AIFS), ICON model (DWD), HARMONIE model (DMI), Apple Weather. ■ See the disagreement Every source is drawn on the same graph, so the hours where forecasts and model output split are visible at a glance. The way professionals read model differences — in seconds, for anyone. ■ Evidence export (CSV and PDF) Export the comparison as CSV or PDF to share. Hand a clear basis for a stop/postpone decision to clients or contractors. ■ Jump to other services Open JMA, tenki.jp, Yahoo Weather or Windy for the exact spot you're viewing, in an in-app window. ■ Built for the field For construction, civil works, ports, surveying, drones, film shoots, fishing and hiking — anything weather-dependent. Note: This app does not make its own forecast. It shows official agency forecasts (e.g. JMA) and numerical model output as provided, side by side. Numerical model output is not a forecast and may contain large errors. Final decisions are your responsibility. The first 30 days are completely free. To keep using all features afterward, an auto-renewing subscription (monthly or yearly) is required — cancel anytime.

Soradama turns the weather into something you can keep. ■ The sky becomes an orb Soradama automatically records a sky orb when the app successfully fetches weather for your home location. Its appearance reflects the weather, temperature, humidity and time of day. It keeps one orb per day, based on your device’s date, and updates that day’s orb when you fetch weather again. Failed requests or viewing saved weather do not create a new orb. You can revisit the orbs in a monthly calendar. ■ A living background Clear, rain, snow, thunder, fog — the whole screen changes with the weather and the time of day. Rain runs down the glass. Snow drifts. The colors shift as morning turns to dusk. Open it at sunrise or sunset and you'll get something you won't see at any other hour. ■ The old calendar, quietly Soradama follows the 24 traditional Japanese seasons and the phases of the moon. On the day autumn begins, the app tells you. On a full moon, the moon itself appears inside the orb, at the right phase — calculated from astronomical algorithms, not approximated. ■ It also works as a weather app ・Current conditions, 24-hour and 10-day forecasts ・Umbrella index and laundry index, judged on the hours ahead ・Rain radar with a 60-minute forecast (Japan and nearby areas only) ・Sunrise and sunset, UV, wind, humidity, pressure, visibility, feels-like ・Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets ・Apple Watch app and complications ・Notifications before rain starts ・Works offline with the last forecast it fetched ■ No catch No account. No ads. No tracking. No paid features. Location information is used to retrieve weather and place names. Selected cities are saved on your device. Your home location is also saved and shared with the app’s widgets and paired Apple Watch for their existing features. Weather providers receive the coordinates needed for each request and may retain network logs as described in the privacy policy. The app does not link location information to your identity or use it for tracking. You can also choose a city without granting location access.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 空玉 at none against Multi Weather's 2. 空玉 also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). Multi Weather's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
