SkyVex Weather vs SkyRewind

SkyVex is a complete weather app with nothing held back. Every feature is free — there is no subscription and no in-app purchases. MINUTE-BY-MINUTE RAIN Know exactly when rain starts and when it stops. The Rain tab shows the next four hours minute by minute, with the time until rain begins or clears and the peak intensity. Drag across the chart to inspect any moment. ALERTS THAT WORK EVERYWHERE Official government severe-weather warnings where they are published, plus SkyVex's own hazard alerts calculated from high-resolution forecast data — thunderstorms, damaging winds, torrential rain, heavy snow, freezing rain, dense fog and extremes of heat and cold. Those forecast hazards are computed worldwide, including in countries where no official warning feed is available. YOUR OWN ALERTS Build custom rules — wind above 40 km/h, temperature below freezing, heavy rain on the way — and get a notification when the forecast crosses your threshold. COMPARE THE FORECAST MODELS See GFS, ECMWF and ICON side by side for temperature, precipitation and wind. Where the models disagree, confidence is lower, and SkyVex marks those days so you can plan around the uncertainty. THE FULL PICTURE • Current conditions, 48-hour hourly and 8-day daily forecasts • Air quality, with a pollutant breakdown and forecast • Sun and UV, including golden hour and daylight length • Flood risk based on river discharge data • Marine and beach conditions for coastal locations • Pollen forecast (Europe) DESIGNED TO BE READ AT A GLANCE A dark, focused interface where the sky above the forecast takes on the colour of the current conditions. Numbers are set in aligned figures so columns stay steady, and nothing is hidden behind a paywall. Save as many locations as you like, switch between them with a swipe, and choose metric or imperial units. SkyVex is free and supported by occasional ads. Weather data from Open-Meteo, Rainbow.ai and Apple Weather.

Weather now. The next few hours. This day, years ago. SkyRewind brings current conditions, forecasts and historical comparisons for your area together on one compact main screen, with no vertical page scrolling. Swipe horizontally through hours, dates and years to explore the data. WEATHER WHERE YOU ARE When you open the app, it asks for permission to use your device's location. If you allow access, it selects your weather area and checks your position while you use the app and when you reopen it. There is no background location tracking. If you decline GPS access, you can select one town manually and still use weather, forecasts and history. Choosing another town replaces the previous one; there is no list of favorite places. A manually selected town stays fixed and does not follow your movements. No account is required. TODAY, TOMORROW AND YEARS PAST - Check the current temperature, feels-like temperature, conditions and weather-data timestamp. - Explore the next 24 hours for temperatures and rain probability, including after midnight. - See forecasts for today and the following six days. - Compare the selected day's forecast low and high with the same calendar date in previous years. - Move along the historical timeline to select a year. Each difference clearly identifies Today or Forecast and whether it is higher or lower. The current temperature remains separate from daily comparisons: low with low, high with high. The visual atmosphere follows the season, time of day and difference from the historical average. HISTORY WITH CONTEXT Historical coverage can extend back to 1940 where data is available for that area and date. A new area's archive may take time to prepare: the app indicates loading, partial coverage or temporary unavailability. A complete series is not necessarily available for every date or location. Data is provided by Open-Meteo. Current conditions and forecasts are based on weather models; the displayed timestamp refers to the data, not a live measurement from a station at your location. Historical ERA5 data is a model-based reanalysis of the area. Averages and differences are calculated by SkyRewind. Weather data is licensed under CC BY 4.0. The app uses Italian when the system language is Italian and English otherwise. You can change the language in Settings. Weather information is indicative and should not be your only source for emergencies, personal safety or critical operational decisions.
