Global Weather 3D

Read full description

See weather as a living planet. Global Weather 3D combines local forecasts with worldwide weather exploration. Check current, hourly, and daily forecasts, then explore weather, oceans, air quality, and atmospheric systems on an interactive 3D Earth. AT A GLANCE - Rotate and zoom a 3D Earth with worldwide city weather. - Check current, hourly, and daily forecasts in the focused 2D Weather view. - Turn ten weather, ocean, atmosphere, air-quality, and space-weather layers on or off. - Move seven forecast layers through time without leaving the globe. - Search for cities, save places, or use your current location when permitted. - Switch between Standard and Terrain surfaces and customize visual effects. - Start with an optional Guided Globe Tour, then review data availability in Data Health. EXPLORE TEN CONNECTED DATA LAYERS - Weather Information places worldwide conditions and forecasts on the globe. - Ocean Currents shows broad surface-current patterns and eddies. - Waves & Swell shows combined seas, wind waves, and primary or secondary swell using height, direction, and period. - Wind Flow uses animated streamlines to show direction and relative speed. - Temperature Heat Map shows warm and cool modeled air masses. - Global Precipitation displays the latest available rain and snow patterns. - Cloud Structure separates low, middle, and high clouds or combines them in an atmospheric stack. - Upper Atmosphere / Jet Stream explores winds at multiple pressure levels. - Aurora Forecast places the latest short-term aurora forecast above the polar regions. - Air Quality & Haze explores modeled AQI, fine-particle pollution, and mineral dust. EXPLORE THE GLOBE THROUGH TIME Drag to rotate, pinch to zoom, focus on a city, or tap visible markers to inspect available conditions. The timeline keeps your globe position, selected surface, and active layers together as you move through forecast hours. FOLLOW WEATHER FROM HOME TO ANYWHERE Search for cities around the world and save the places you follow. My Places keeps recent conditions, icons, temperatures, and today's high and low available from cache when you are offline. Selecting a city turns the globe toward it and presents its weather in context. Location access is optional. If you decline, city search, saved places, forecasts, and the global 3D experience remain available. CHOOSE HOW THE PLANET LOOKS AND MOVES Switch between the clear Standard globe and a natural Terrain surface without losing your place, selected time, or active layers. Adjust motion, detail, lighting, atmosphere, and other visual effects to suit your device. UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU SEE Expandable legends and Layer Information sheets explain each layer, its timeline behavior, colors, motion, controls, and display scales. Illustrated learning pages explain how major weather, ocean, atmospheric, and space-weather systems form. Data Health summarizes availability, coverage, freshness, and cached or offline context for active layers. Visual motion, height, spacing, translucency, color, and animation help explain large-scale patterns but do not add precision to the source data. PRIVACY CHOICES Global Weather 3D does not require an account. Optional usage analytics remains off unless you explicitly agree. Anonymous aggregate usage helps improve the app. Declining does not limit weather features, and you can change your choice at any time in Settings. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Fresh data requires an internet connection and may sometimes be delayed, limited, or unavailable. Forecasts, observations, and modeled fields can differ from local conditions. Global Weather 3D is an exploratory visualization product. Do not use it for emergency decisions, marine navigation, aviation, or other safety-critical activities. When safety matters, follow official authorities, warnings, and specialist services. Questions or feedback: support@globalweather3d.com Website: https://globalweather3d.com/

Read full description

Cloudo is weather that thinks ahead. Traditional weather apps give you numbers. Cloudo helps you understand what those numbers actually mean for your day. Instead of simply showing temperature, rain probability, wind and UV, Cloudo turns forecast data into useful, human-friendly guidance. Know when rain may start, whether you should bring an umbrella, how the temperature will change, what conditions may feel like outside and what you may want to prepare before leaving home. WEATHER INTELLIGENCE Cloudo analyzes changing weather conditions and highlights what deserves your attention. See important shifts in rain, temperature, wind, UV and other conditions without digging through endless charts. YOUR WEATHER ASSISTANT Ask what matters to you and explore weather through practical insights. Cloudo is designed around decisions, not just measurements. TODAY AT A GLANCE Get a clear view of the day ahead with hourly conditions and useful highlights. Quickly understand what is changing and when. SMART RAIN INSIGHTS A rain percentage alone doesn’t tell the whole story. Cloudo helps you understand when rain is expected, how conditions may change and when carrying an umbrella could make sense. UV & SUN GUIDANCE See UV conditions throughout the day and understand when sun protection deserves more attention. OUTFIT SUGGESTIONS Weather affects what you wear. Cloudo uses temperature, feels-like conditions, wind and other forecast information to provide useful clothing suggestions for different parts of your day. WIND, HEAT & MORE Explore wind, pressure, temperature trends and additional weather details when you want to go deeper. PLACES Keep track of weather in the locations that matter to you. Compare conditions and stay prepared for different places. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE Cloudo isn’t designed to make weather more complicated. It is designed to make weather easier to use.

Less weather data to decode. More useful answers. Meet Cloudo — your weather intelligence assistant. TERMS AND CONDITIONS (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
