Weather – by Bloomix Labs
The forecast, and what to do with it.
About this app
Every weather app knows it will rain at four. Very few of them tell you that the gap at eleven is the only dry, breezy stretch you’ll get all week.
Weather reads the forecast and answers the question underneath it. Good windows for hanging laundry out, for a run, for a ride. Not a badge or a score, just the hours that are actually worth using.
The rest is the forecast done properly. Hour by hour for the next 24, day by day across the week, with air quality, UV, pollen, humidity, wind, pressure and how much daylight you have left.
Two things it does that most don’t. It tells you how sure the forecast is, because a settled high-pressure week and an unstable one are not the same prediction even when the icons match. And it puts today against the record, so you know whether this is ordinary weather for the date or something worth remarking on.
Search anywhere, or let it use where you are. It’s quiet, it loads fast, and there’s nothing on screen that isn’t answering a question.
