Weather for humans — weather made readable

Weather, with context.

Weather for humans combines live weather data with local calculations for daylight, moon phases, historical comparisons, clothing suggestions and weather-aware notices.

Read current temperature, feels-like temperature, high and low temperatures, humidity, wind, cloud cover and precipitation.
See the next hours, tomorrow and up to ten forecast days in the app’s forecast views.
Compare today with historical daily data and inspect monthly climate summaries.
Open detailed views for temperature, wind, sky conditions, daylight, moon and tomorrow.

What the code currently provides

These are features represented in the project, not promises about features outside it.

☀

Current conditions

Temperature, feels-like temperature, humidity, UV index, wind, gusts, cloud cover, precipitation and condition descriptions.

◷

Hourly and daily forecasts

Next-hour context, hourly charts, tomorrow details, and forecast summaries for up to five or ten days depending on the view.

☼

Daylight and moon

Sunrise, sunset, daylight duration, sunshine estimates, moon phase, illumination, moonrise, moonset and visible duration.

↺

Historical context

Daily comparisons use historical data for the same date. Climate views calculate monthly high, low, rainfall, sun and cloud summaries.

♧

Human-readable guidance

Clothing suggestions, adaptive wellness tips, cloud and wind context, temperature trends and rain severity text are generated in the app.

!

Notices and alerts

Local notifications and in-app banners cover severe weather data, rain, snow, frost risk, tropical nights and seasonal transitions.

▦

Home Screen widgets

Current weather, today’s weather, hourly forecast, health tips, wind and clouds/sun widgets share cached weather data through the App Group.

⌁

Shortcuts and Spotlight

App Intents expose current weather, clothing advice, sky status and section opening. Quick actions and Spotlight indexing are also implemented.

⌘

Personal settings

Choose a theme, units, typography, app icon, notification preferences and, in the premium path, home-card order and visibility.

How it works

The implementation stores a selected place locally, fetches weather for its coordinates, derives context on the device, and shares a snapshot with widgets.

Search a place with MapKit suggestions, or allow a one-time current-location request.
Request weather data for the selected coordinates through WeatherKit.
Use historical WeatherKit data, with an Open-Meteo Archive API fallback in historical calculations.
Save weather summaries and widget data locally, then refresh the app and widgets when data changes.
