Whimsy Weather
Whimsy Weather draws the weather instead of tabulating it.
The top half of the screen is a hand-drawn landscape under a real sky. The Sun
and the Moon are where they actually are for your latitude and the time of day,
the Moon shows its true phase, and the rain, snow, cloud and wind in the picture
are the ones in the forecast. The bottom half is the numbers — feels-like,
humidity, wind, pressure, visibility, UV, sunrise and sunset, moonrise and
moonset.
A SKY THAT IS ACTUALLY THE SKY
Sunrise, sunset, twilight and the midnight sun are computed, not faked. At 64°N
in June the sky never goes fully dark, because it doesn't. Drag the timeline and
the Sun and Moon glide along their arcs while the light changes around them.
TEN LANDSCAPES, ALL OF THEM ALIVE
Hills, farm, city, beach, harbour, open sea, mountains, desert, lake and the
tropics — and every one of them has something in it that the wind moves. Smoke
leans downwind. The windmill turns at a speed proportional to the wind. Palms
bend, coconuts fall above 60 km/h, crabs retreat when someone walks past, the
lighthouse sweeps at night. People wander through: walking the dog, flying a
kite, chasing a hat in a gale, stopping to look at the Moon.
WARNINGS, AND HONESTY ABOUT WHERE THEY CAME FROM
Where a national weather service publishes warnings the app reads them and says
who issued them — the US National Weather Service, or MeteoAlarm for Europe.
Everywhere else it works out its own advisories from the forecast, and labels
them as derived rather than dressing them up as official. You always know which
one you are looking at.
SCRUB INTO THE FORECAST
Drag the timeline from now to the far end of the outlook and watch the scene
change with it — the sky, the light, the weather, hour by hour. Tap an hour, or a
day in the five-day strip, to jump straight there.
ON THE HOME SCREEN
A widget with the conditions where you are, and a Live Activity when there is
something worth watching.
YOURS, IN YOUR UNITS
Temperature, wind, pressure and distance each switch independently, or follow
your region. English, 繁體中文, 简体中文 and 日本語, following the system or
chosen by hand. Portrait, one screen, no tab bar to learn.
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
No account. No analytics. No advertising. No tracking. The forecast comes from
Apple's own WeatherKit, and searching for a place goes through Apple's frameworks
— so the only thing that leaves your phone is where you want the weather for.
FREE AND PRO
Free keeps one saved place plus wherever you are, with the full conditions
panel, the hourly and five-day forecasts, official warnings, derived advisories
and automatically chosen scenes. Pro adds unlimited places, the widget and Live
Activity, choosing the landscape yourself, and scrubbing the timeline.
Subscribe, or buy it once and keep it.
NOT A WARNING SERVICE
This is a weather app for looking at, not a safety system. For decisions that
matter, use your national weather service and follow your civil authorities.
