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.

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.
