Whimsy Weather vs DaySky Forecast

Whimsy Weather draws the weather instead of tabulating it. The top half of the screen is a hand-drawn landscape under a real sky: the Sun and the Moon are where they actually are, the Moon shows its true phase, and the rain, snow, cloud and wind in the picture are the ones in the forecast. 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. TWENTY-ONE LANDSCAPES, ALL OF THEM ALIVE Hills, farm, city, beach, harbour, open sea, mountains, desert, lake and the tropics — and every one has something in it that the wind moves. Smoke leans downwind, the windmill turns with the wind, palms bend and coconuts fall above 60 km/h. SIX PLACES THAT READ THE WEATHER Taipei 101 shows the cloud base by the floor that disappears into it. Fuji puts the freezing level on a cone of known height, and the Golden Gate's 1,280 m span is a ruler for visibility. The Eiffel Tower's fountains lean in the wind, Liberty stands in water that turns to pack ice, and the Pyramids cast the Sun's bearing across the sand. 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 and light their windows at night, with each city's weather drawn over its own. Turn the dial to find an hour that works everywhere. WARNINGS, AND HONESTY ABOUT WHERE THEY CAME FROM Where a national weather service publishes warnings the app reads them and names the issuer — the US National Weather Service, or MeteoAlarm for Europe. Everywhere else its own advisories are derived from the forecast, and say so. 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 Every unit switches on its own, or follows your region. English, Français, 繁體中文, 简体中文 and 日本語. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No analytics. No advertising. The forecast comes from MET Norway, or with Pro from Apple's own WeatherKit, and searching for a place goes through Apple's frameworks — so the only thing that leaves your phone is where you want the weather for. FREE, SOURCES AND PRO Free keeps one saved place plus wherever you are, with the full conditions panel, the hourly and five-day forecasts, and warnings and advisories; its forecast comes from MET Norway. Pro adds Apple Weather, with next-hour rain where Apple has radar, unlimited places, the seven widgets, the other twenty landscapes, the world clock and the timeline to scrub hour by hour. Subscribe, or buy it once and keep it. Sources is a one-time purchase with everything in Pro except Apple Weather: MET Norway out of the box, or OpenWeatherMap, WeatherAPI.com, Pirate Weather and others with your own free API key. NOT A WARNING SERVICE This is a weather app for looking at, not a safety system. For decisions that matter, follow your national weather service.

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. SAVED PLACES AND WIDGETS Search for cities and save places you check. Each one shows the current temperature and local time. Choose a place for your Home Screen or Lock Screen widgets. 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. Saved places remain on the device. ACCESSIBILITY AND REQUIREMENTS Designed for VoiceOver and large text, including accessibility text sizes. For iPhone running iOS 17 or later. Weather data is provided by Apple Weather.
