Know what matters in today's weather. Check the next 24 hours and the 10-day forecast. See official alerts and find favorable times to go out. A CLEAR SUMMARY The automatic summary highlights changes that may affect your plans: when rain may arrive, notable heat or cold, wind and gusts, fog, high UV, or an evening cooldown. When nothing stands out, it says the day looks calm. HOURLY AND 10-DAY FORECASTS Check current conditions, the next 24 hours, and the 10-day forecast. Sunrise and sunset appear between the forecast hours when they occur. PLAN TIME OUTSIDE Choose a day with enough hourly forecast data and a duration of 30, 60, or 120 minutes. See up to three periods that fit your temperature, precipitation-probability, and wind preferences. Daylight and official weather alerts are considered, and high UV is flagged. If no period qualifies, the app explains the main reason. These are weather comparisons, not safety guarantees. OFFICIAL WEATHER ALERTS Read available official weather alerts and open details from the issuing organization. SEVEN WEATHER METRICS Explore feels-like temperature, humidity and dew point, wind and gusts, UV index, precipitation, visibility, and pressure. Each metric has an hourly chart and day selector.

OPTIONAL REMINDERS Set a daily reminder to check the forecast or a reminder for the start of a suggested period. Notifications ask you to check the latest forecast; they are not real-time weather alerts. PRIVACY No accounts, ads, usage analytics, or third-party libraries. Location is requested only while you use the app. Coordinates required to provide weather information are sent to the necessary Apple services; the developer does not receive those coordinates.
