SkyForge vs SkyVex Weather

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.

SkyVex is a complete weather app with nothing held back. Every feature is free — there is no subscription and no in-app purchases. MINUTE-BY-MINUTE RAIN Know exactly when rain starts and when it stops. The Rain tab shows the next four hours minute by minute, with the time until rain begins or clears and the peak intensity. Drag across the chart to inspect any moment. ALERTS THAT WORK EVERYWHERE Official government severe-weather warnings where they are published, plus SkyVex's own hazard alerts calculated from high-resolution forecast data — thunderstorms, damaging winds, torrential rain, heavy snow, freezing rain, dense fog and extremes of heat and cold. Those forecast hazards are computed worldwide, including in countries where no official warning feed is available. YOUR OWN ALERTS Build custom rules — wind above 40 km/h, temperature below freezing, heavy rain on the way — and get a notification when the forecast crosses your threshold. COMPARE THE FORECAST MODELS See GFS, ECMWF and ICON side by side for temperature, precipitation and wind. Where the models disagree, confidence is lower, and SkyVex marks those days so you can plan around the uncertainty. THE FULL PICTURE • Current conditions, 48-hour hourly and 8-day daily forecasts • Air quality, with a pollutant breakdown and forecast • Sun and UV, including golden hour and daylight length • Flood risk based on river discharge data • Marine and beach conditions for coastal locations • Pollen forecast (Europe) DESIGNED TO BE READ AT A GLANCE A dark, focused interface where the sky above the forecast takes on the colour of the current conditions. Numbers are set in aligned figures so columns stay steady, and nothing is hidden behind a paywall. Save as many locations as you like, switch between them with a swipe, and choose metric or imperial units. SkyVex is free and supported by occasional ads. Weather data from Open-Meteo, Rainbow.ai and Apple Weather.
