Meteric is a fast, native weather app: worldwide forecasts, air quality and Europe-wide weather warnings — plus, in Slovakia, real station measurements, precipitation radar and official warnings from the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute (SHMÚ). Every value shows its source and the time it was measured, so you always know whether you're looking at a real measurement or a forecast. MetericCast — rain, to the minute MetericCast is Meteric's own short-term precipitation nowcast, computed from the motion of the latest radar frames. It estimates when rain or snow will reach your exact location within the next hour and shows it on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with a live countdown, in your widgets, and on your Apple Watch. Anything from MetericCast is marked in orange so you can tell it apart from the standard forecast. What you get • Current conditions from real measurements or forecast, each with its source and time • Hourly and multi-day forecast with interactive charts • Precipitation radar, forecast maps, satellite and webcams (Slovakia) • Weather warnings across Europe (MeteoAlarm) and SHMÚ warnings in Slovakia • Air quality and pollen • Sunrise, sunset and moon phase • Detailed metrics: wind and gusts, humidity, pressure, visibility, dew point, UV, cloud cover • Source comparison: station/ALADIN vs Open-Meteo, side by side • Home Screen widgets (small, medium, large) and Apple Watch complications & Smart Stack Made your way • Casual or Advanced level of detail • Rearrange the cards on the main screen to suit you • °C/°F, m/s or km/h, 12- or 24-hour time • Light, dark or system theme • Available in Slovak, English, Czech, German, Hungarian, Polish, Ukrainian and Chinese Data sources: worldwide forecast, current conditions and air quality by Open-Meteo; European warnings by MeteoAlarm; in Slovakia, observations, radar and warnings from SHMÚ open data. Meteric is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by SHMÚ, Open-Meteo or MeteoAlarm. Forecasts and estimates may not always be accurate.
