Is 22°C warm? Is 69°F cold? Why am I still doing this math? I made Spoon Weather for anyone whose brain lives somewhere between Celsius and Fahrenheit. It shows both temperatures side by side, so you can check the weather and slowly, almost accidentally, get a feel for converting between them. Just seeing both numbers together until they start making sense. Spoon Weather also shows the local time in every saved city. It’s handy when you’re traveling, planning a call, or wondering whether your family and friends on the other side of the world are awake yet. Here's all you get: • Current weather for your location • Favorite cities from around the world • Local time for every city • Hourly forecasts and a 10-day outlook • Important weather alerts for each location • Sunrise, sunset, and moon details • Wind, humidity, visibility, cloud cover, and UV information • Beautiful backgrounds gradients that change with the weather and time of day • The option to show both Celsius and/or Fahrenheit when you want to • Prioritized feature requests since I'm a small solo app developer There are no accounts, ads, subscriptions. Location access is optional. Oh and why Spoon? No reason, other than it is my dog's name. She's cute and is scared of thunderstorms - same tbh. Weather data provided by Apple Weather.
