WeatherMetro vs Whimsy Weather

WeatherMetro is the forecast that tells you what actually happens next. Not “60% chance today”, but “rain starting in 12 minutes”. Not a single number on a sunny graphic, but the radar, the air, the pollen, the UV and thirty years of context, side by side, for 5.2 million places on Earth - with a privacy promise almost no weather app makes: your location is used once to pick a place, then forgotten. What you’ll love about WeatherMetro: – Rain, to the minute: a minute-by-minute rain timeline for the next hour – Watch it move: radar from two hours back to two hours ahead – Every town on Earth: 5.2 million places, each with the full forecast – Side by side: home, work, and wherever you’re worrying about, compared at a glance – How it actually feels: air quality, pollen and UV beside the temperature – Thirty years of context: is this hot, or just summer? The climate chart answers – Honest about accuracy: every forecast names the model behind it, and the models are scored – Light, all year: sunrise, sunset and twilight - and it works offline – The Feed: what the sky is doing right now, from people standing under it RAIN, TO THE MINUTE “Starting in 12 minutes” beats “60% today”. WeatherMetro gives you a minute-by-minute rain timeline for the next hour, hourly detail all day, and a 16-day outlook - with plain-language summaries like “no rain in the next 6 hours”, so you don’t have to read a chart to know whether to take a jacket. WATCH IT MOVE Radar from two hours back to two hours ahead. Scrub through it and watch the weather arrive. When a watch or warning is issued for your place, it sits right at the top of the forecast, where it belongs. EVERY TOWN ON EARTH Most weather apps cover the big cities well and everywhere else badly. WeatherMetro carries the full forecast for 5.2 million places - search any of them, save the ones you care about, and see them side by side. HOW IT ACTUALLY FEELS The temperature is half the story. PM2.5, ozone, pollen and UV live beside the forecast, worldwide, along with humidity, dew point and feels-like - so “how should I dress?” and “can I run outside today?” have one answer, in one place. THIRTY YEARS OF CONTEXT Is this hot, or just summer? A thirty-year climate chart for your exact place answers. And On This Day shows what today’s date has looked like across the years - the warmest, the coldest, and where this year falls. HONEST ABOUT ACCURACY Every forecast in WeatherMetro names the weather model behind it, and the models are scored and ranked against what actually happened at your place. Few weather apps tell you where the forecast comes from - fewer still tell you how often it has been right. LIGHT, ALL YEAR Sunrise, sunset and twilight for the whole year, for any place - and it works offline. Plan the golden hour in a place you have not landed in yet. THE FEED Radar shows you the rain; the Feed shows you the hail on someone’s balcony three streets away. See what people near your place are posting about the sky right now, and add what you can see out your own window. A SKY THAT KEEPS TIME The app is drawn on the Skyshift gradient: its colours follow the real sky through dawn, day, dusk and night. You can often tell the weather from the colour of the screen before you read a word. PRIVACY, THE SHORT VERSION We use your location to pick a place, then forget it. We do not store a location history, we do not sell data to anyone, and we do not track you across other apps or websites. Analytics is anonymous, off by default, and turning it off actually stops collection rather than hiding it. No account is needed - and if you make one, you can export or delete everything from inside the app. Download WeatherMetro and know what the sky will do next.

Whimsy Weather draws the weather instead of tabulating it. The top half of the screen is a hand-drawn landscape under the real sky: the Sun and the Moon where they are, the Moon in its true phase, and the forecast's rain, snow, cloud and wind. The bottom half is the numbers. A SKY THAT IS ACTUALLY THE SKY Sunrise, sunset, twilight and the midnight sun are computed, not faked. At 64°N in June the sky never goes fully dark, because it doesn't. A HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN PLACES, ALL OF THEM ALIVE Hills, farm, beach, harbour, desert, lake, the tropics — each with something the wind moves. Taipei 101 shows the cloud base by the floor that disappears into it; the Golden Gate's span is a ruler for visibility. TWENTY-ONE FAMOUS MOUNTAINS Each reads one thing: Alishan's sea of clouds is the night's inversion, the banner off the Matterhorn is the summit wind, and the Dolomites turn pink in a low Sun. FIFTY-SIX PLACES IN MINIATURE Cities as tabletop models — Old Taipei, Kyoto, London, Prague — under drifting clouds and the real Sun and Moon. From up here you see what the rain did: puddles, snow on roofs, rivers rising. And anywhere else, a miniature of here: the real streets, parks and trees within 300 m from OpenStreetMap, with houses in the local style. SIXTEEN FAMOUS BEACHES Each reads the sea the forecast does not show: Nazaré's wave is the swell times its period, Mont-Saint-Michel is an island only on a spring tide, and Kabira Bay goes from emerald to milk after rain. THE VIEW FROM A WINDOW A plane, high-speed rail, a car, a train and a bus. Rain on the glass is a speedometer: straight down at a red light, flat at 300 km/h. A WORLD CLOCK WITH LANDMARKS Every saved city on one 24-hour dial, ringed by landmarks that turn with the time, each under its own city's weather. WARNINGS, AND HONESTY ABOUT WHERE THEY CAME FROM Official warnings name the issuer — the US National Weather Service, or MeteoAlarm for Europe. Elsewhere the app's advisories are derived from the forecast, and say so. It is not a warning service: for decisions that matter, follow your national weather service. SEVEN WIDGETS ON THE HOME SCREEN Tonight's sky with the true Moon, today's conditions, the five-day outlook, what to wear — and the scene itself. YOURS, IN YOUR UNITS Each unit on its own or by region, and a scene for each place. English, Français, 繁體中文, 简体中文 and 日本語. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account, no analytics, no advertising. Only what is needed leaves your phone: where you want the weather for, and, if you ask for a miniature of a place, the square round it, to OpenStreetMap. FREE, SOURCES AND PRO Free keeps one saved place plus wherever you are, with the full panel, the hourly and five-day forecasts and the warnings, from MET Norway. Pro adds Apple Weather (with next-hour rain where Apple has radar), unlimited places, the seven widgets, the other hundred and fourteen places, a miniature of anywhere, the world clock and the timeline. Subscribe, or buy it once and keep it. Sources, bought once, is everything in Pro except Apple Weather: MET Norway, or your own free key for OpenWeatherMap, Pirate Weather and others — or several at once.
