Depending on your location, forecasts draw on Météo-France's AROME and ARPEGE models, as well as ECMWF. Everything you need at a glance: - Detailed hourly and 10-day forecasts - Wind speeds and gusts - Tide times and heights - Sunrise and sunset - Moon phases - PhotoLive weather images - Home Screen widgets for quick updates Personalize your home screen by arranging sections to keep the information you care about front and center. And because checking the weather should feel a little more fun, a friendly otter is here to keep you company. It can't stop the rain, but it might make cloudy days a little brighter.
