SkyForge makes the weather radar the whole app — a full-screen, buttery-smooth animated map is your home screen, and everything else floats cleanly on top. RADAR THAT MOVES • Smooth, motion-interpolated radar: the past two hours, then up to an hour of forecast radar where it's available • 3D storms — heavy rain rises off the map as shaded clouds that cast shadows • Live wind streams — thousands of moving particles showing direction and speed • Temperature overlay with a color-graded legend • Show precipitation, temperature and wind together • Fronts & pressure from NOAA's surface analysis • Zoom out far enough and the map becomes a spinning 3D globe, colored with NASA satellite land cover A FORECAST WITH DEPTH • 10-day forecast — tap any day to expand a plain-English brief • Interactive charts for every day: temperature, precipitation, UV, wind, humidity, visibility, and pressure — drag to pinpoint any minute • Hourly forecast, current conditions, "feels like", and high/low • Air quality (US AQI), UV index, sunrise & sunset, dew point, and more BUILT FOR WHERE YOU ARE • Automatic radar and forecast for your current location • Save cities and reorder your list with a long-press • Dark and light map themes that remember your choice SEVERE WEATHER • Live watches, warnings, and advisories from the US National Weather Service, right at the top of your screen when they matter HONEST BY DESIGN • 100% free and ad-free • No account, no sign-up, no tracking • Your location is used only to fetch weather — never stored or sold Weather data from Open-Meteo, LibreWXR, RainViewer, NOAA / National Weather Service, NASA GIBS, Iowa State Mesonet, and OpenWeatherMap.

Weather is easier to understand when it feels familiar. Nimbo shows current conditions and the next 24 hours alongside recent weather from the same place. See whether the hours ahead will feel warmer, cooler, wetter, or much the same as yesterday. • A clear current-weather summary • A chronological −24 / NOW / +24 timeline • Comparisons with yesterday and recent days • Best Time Outside based on comfort and weather hazards • Cached weather when your connection is unavailable • Home-screen widgets and companion apps for Apple Watch and Wear OS • Automatic, metric, or imperial units No account, ads, or analytics. Approximate location is optional; city search works without location permission. Weather and place data are provided by Open-Meteo. Historical values are model and reanalysis data, not verified station observations.
