Hello Weather gives you beautiful, trustworthy forecasts powered by the best weather data on Earth. With hyperlocal real-time info and a joyful design that’s easy to read at a glance, you’ll always be prepared for whatever’s coming your way. APP OF THE DAY 2026 + featured globally since 2018 "One of my very favorites in recent years. It’s attractive, original, and highly useful." — Daring Fireball Five reasons why you’ll love planning your day with Hello Weather... 1. All the info you need is right in your face. Current conditions, hourly and daily forecasts, minute-by-minute rain, and weather alerts, all in a design you can read in seconds. Everything you need, nothing you don’t. 2. Simple on the surface. Details one tap away. Sometimes you need to dig deeper. Is it going to be windy enough to fly a kite today? When’s the best time to go? Just tap the wind card (or any other stat) for a super friendly chart showing what’s up. 3. Forecasts so advanced, they might be fivecasts. Switch from Apple Weather to ultra-detailed forecasts from the world’s best data providers, like The Weather Channel, AccuWeather, and Foreca. Pick the source that works best for your area, or switch back and forth to compare. 4. You don’t need to be a weather expert. What does barometric pressure mean? Is the dewpoint good or bad? We translated those esoteric stats into human words, so you’ll know how it really feels outside. 5. It’ll make you smile. We filled the app with tons of thoughtful little touches to brighten your day. You’ll love the beautiful color themes, automatic night mode, and sweet secret extras. And that’s not all… • Hello Weather works everywhere, from your phone to your wrist. Great on iPhone and iPad, with widgets, notifications, and a full Apple Watch app to keep you updated on the go. It speaks 27 languages, too. • Radar’s built right in. When there’s a storm front ahead, we’ve got your back. Our powerful radar tab shows you exactly what’s headed your way. • You can have it your way. Tune your app’s layout and appearance to your heart’s content.

We pour a lot of love into our app, and we take great care of our customers. We’re always just an email away, and we’ll get back to you quickly.
