Perun Weather vs AniMeteo

Perun answers not only what the weather will be, but how reliable that answer is right now. SEVERAL MODELS INSTEAD OF ONE OPINION Most apps present a single weather model as the truth. Perun compares many – and picks them by location: ECMWF, GFS and other global models worldwide, plus high-resolution regional models where you are, such as ICON-D2 in Germany, ICON-2I in Italy, AROME in France, MeteoSwiss ICON in the Alps, HRRR in the USA, HRDPS in Canada or JMA in Japan. Radar and weather stations join in wherever they exist. From this comparison one clear statement emerges – for example: "This evening it will most likely stay dry." THE RELIABILITY VALUE Every statement carries a value between 0 and 100 per cent. It reflects how strongly the sources agree, how consistent they are about timing, whether the radar backs the forecast, how fresh the model runs are and how far ahead the forecast reaches. Every part can be opened up in the app. When the sources contradict each other, Perun says so – instead of feigning certainty. RAIN RADAR WITH THE OFFICIAL NOWCAST Radar measurements and the official two-hour forecast of the German Weather Service, in five-minute steps, as an animation. Forecast frames are clearly marked as such. In Italy Perun shows the radar image of the Civil Protection Department, in Canada and the USA the last two hours of measurements. OFFICIAL WARNINGS Weather warnings from the German Weather Service, the US National Weather Service and Environment Canada, precise for the selected location – with period, description and guidance. Radar, nowcasts and warnings exist only where a weather service provides them openly: Germany, Austria, Scandinavia, Italy, the USA and Canada. Everywhere else, Perun still shows the full model comparison, clothing advice and all metrics – and asks the nearest weather station whether it is raining right now. WHAT TO WEAR From apparent temperature, precipitation, wind and UV index Perun derives a concrete suggestion: jacket, umbrella, sturdy shoes or sun protection. METRICS THAT EXPLAIN THEMSELVES Wind, humidity, pressure, UV index, visibility and cloud cover can be tapped. Each metric explains what it means, places the current value with everyday examples – and warns when it gets critical. ENERGY (OPTIONAL) If you want, Perun combines dynamic electricity prices with your tariff, your PV system and your battery. It calculates the real value of a kilowatt-hour – not the market price alone – and recommends when to buy, self-consume, store or feed in. Off by default; no electricity prices are requested unless you enable it.

AniMeteo turns a rectangular complication into a tiny animated window on the sky. NOW The current weather as a looping pixel-art scene: clouds that turn pink at sunset, rain in two layers with puddles, falling snow, soft fog banks, lightning that strikes the rooftop. Cloud cover, rain intensity, wind and visibility come from Apple Weather, so no two rainy days look the same. Next to it: temperature, conditions and today's high and low, or "Rain in 12 min" when a shower is on its way. NEXT 12 HOURS Your day as a 30-second timelapse. The sun and the moon cross the sky, daylight turns to dusk and night, and the weather blends from hour to hour. A coloured ruler along the bottom shows the whole 12 hours at a glance, and the complication tells you what changes next, such as "Rain at 3:00 PM". NEXT HOUR Rain and snow minute by minute: the next 60 minutes in 30 seconds, with the intensity as bars along the bottom. It uses Apple Weather's minute forecast, which is available in some countries; elsewhere the complication says so. A LIVING SCENE • Five sceneries: countryside, city, seaside, mountains and a sailboat out at sea, where the waves grow as the weather gets worse; Automatic switches to the mountains above 800 m • Walkers, cyclists, cars, dogs, deer, birds, planes and helicopters, chosen for the landscape and the weather, and once in a while a UFO • Trees and fields follow the seasons, the moon its real phase • Holiday scenes for Halloween, Christmas, New Year's Eve, Easter and Valentine's Day AniMeteo keeps growing: free updates bring new animations, visitors, places and holidays. DETAILS • Three complications for rectangular slots, for example on Modular and Modular Duo faces or in the Smart Stack • 1, 2 or 4 frames per second, chosen in the app; higher rates are smoother and use more battery • A dedicated dark frame for the Always-On display • Weather data from Apple Weather • Your approximate location is used only to get the forecast • No account, ads, tracking or subscriptions • Apple Watch app for watchOS 10 or later; no iPhone app needed The complications use the last location found by the app. After travelling, open AniMeteo on your Watch to update it.
