Accurate local weather
YOUR LOCAL WEATHER SERVICE
WillyWeather organizes the world's weather data into the most valuable local information. The app includes radar, satellite, detailed wind, rain, tide, swell and UV forecasts, as well as moon phases, and sunrise and sunset times.
Going beyond the average weather service, we process and fine-tune forecast data to the specific coordinates of thousands of locations including all suburbs, towns, beaches, rivers, parks, lakes and islands.
WEATHER DATA
• WEATHER - Six-day NOAA weather forecasts tailored to each location including min/max temperatures, and detailed weather descriptions.
• RADAR - Raw NOAA radar data, refined, processed and integrated with iOS maps.
• SATELLITE - National satellite view, displaying cloud cover for the entire US, integrated with iOS maps.
• TIDES - The most comprehensive tide times system in the USA, bringing together NOAA standard port data with offsets generated for specific locations by WillyWeather. Includes every beach in the US, and many river systems and inlets.
• WIND -The most accurate global wind forecast model gathered from NOAA, interpolated to the exact coordinates for each location, and vetted against real-time wind observations to deliver the best performing information.
• UV - Hourly UV index forecasts, including alerts outlining extreme conditions when there is risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure.
• MOON PHASES - Full moon and new moon phases, illumination and rise and set times. Deeply integrated with tidal data.
• RAINFALL - Intuitive visual indication of rainfall probability for the week ahead.
• SWELL - Swell height, period and direction for each beach and surf spot in the USA.
• SUNRISE SUNSET - Sunrise and sunset times with first light and last light.
• REAL TIME observational data - with trends for all locations including current temperature, feels-like temperature, rain today, rain last hour, humidity, pressure, wind speed, wind direction, wind gusts and dew point.
• NOAA WARNINGS - Easily accessible and specifically targeted to the locations affected.
FEATURES
• Interactive rainfall radar, using iOS maps: pan and zoom like you've always wanted through the national NOAA radar network, to see exactly where rain is falling around you, or your favorite locations. Our mapping features provide more control and detail than any other US weather resource.
• Stunning, interactive tide, swell, and wind forecast graphs which allow you to easily interpret the conditions at your favorite surf beach, secret fishing spot or upcoming hike - in real-time, and up to seven days in the future. We're particularly proud of our graphs, we pushed the boundaries to provide you with more context, and more detail for each weather type.
• A beautiful, simple and organized interface in which the weather data that is important to you is easy to find, consume, and interact with. Our goal was to present accurate and relevant weather information to you, as quickly, and easily as possible.

more I've purchased a lot of weather apps. Frankly, I don't know why, but I do enjoy looking at different interfaces. I've tried a bunch on my Apple watch. Some are very informative but don't have a well made interface for the watch. I just want to look at my wrist and see what's going to happen NOW and for the next few hours. Willy fits my needs perfectly. Thank you developers for writing such an excellent watch implementation. I've used it for a short time, but it's definitely worth the purchase. I HATE ads and software authors should be rewarded for their work. Some people just whine about the ads instead of doing the right thing and buying. Most happily it's a one-time purchase and not a ridiculously priced subscription. Heck, it's $3.99 one time. Pay once and enjoy indefinitel.

Willy Weather will always be my go-to source for accurate, real-time weather forecasts and reports! And hey, that’s coming from a Wannabe Weather Girl (no joke, I dreamed of growing up and becoming a meteorologist!) who literally got grounded when she was growing up for watching The Weather Channel “too much” ummm…. Okay?! So, yeah, I highly recommend WW app, Especially above the other well known weather app that everyone uses. WW is ad free, it doesn’t cost a dime, it’s ACCURATE, you can set it to send you your daily forecast, plus it has the moon phases, tides, wind speeds, rainfall amounts, humidity, temperatures, sunrise, sunset, wind speeds and so many more cool features that you’ll enjoy playing with! Just download it already!!! You’ll be glad you did!!! Take it from an old Wannabe Weather Girl!

Hey everyone, I was a WeatherBug guy since it’s weather-service-app first became available (I even had a Weather Bug tee-shirt). HOWEVER, doing due diligence, I’ve ”sampled” several weather apps over the years; Weather Channel, Weather Live, NOAA Weather, My Radar, etc, and no-one rivaled WB, until NOW. WillyWeather is absolutely made for persons who want a serious but user-friendly weather app. Every aspect of WillyWeather’s weather presentation of weather data is easily readable and applicable from going to the beach, boating, hiking, yard work, flying, farming, road tripping or traveling in general. We live on the Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, and weather can turn-on-a-dime. Good weather forecasts aren't just a convenience, but a life-preserving requirement. GET THIS APP! You won't regret taking the time to do so.

Great to get it every day! Had forgotten about it, since local stations often no longer carry it! One old Chicago Station does WGR!I have a work history in the early 1970’ies in a hospital radiation therapy dept! I think I am now more sensitive than ever to the light frequency! Fair skinned, but not that fair! Had dark hair in middle years! Born blond, so my pale green eyes are the flag re my light wave lengths’ intolerances!! They have always faded to almost yellow in the summer! Prevention of origin of those forgotten head aches I used to get will be helped by your site, etc. do key is knowing the U-V rating everyday! I lived near East Germany in the 1960’s! Avoidance is best in our high output month now! They prepared for everything; even had iodine liquid kits for school kids in case of a blast yielding rads! Just remember natural iodine, in even flowers, carries their pigments, hence the flowers’ intense colors jump out at one anywhere, but especially along the sea coast of Maine where the ocean has a history high iodine content! Been there seen it! Mid-west soil water air is naturally iodine deficient-hence use that old iodized salt! Thanks for the monitoring! A health saver!Marion in Lansing, MI area.

For users updating from 3.3.0:
- Fixes intermittent crashes
For users updating from 3.2.1:
Big update, this one. The headline is Layers: interactive weather maps built right into the app.
NEW
• Layers. Satellite, wind, wind gust, swell, rainfall, UV and more, opening framed to your location. Pins you drop sync across your devices.
• Offline forecasts for WillyWeather Plus subscribers. No internet? Your most recent forecast is still there.
• The live cam map now has a button to get back to the camera list.
FASTER & SMOOTHER
• The forecast shows as soon as it loads instead of waiting on maps and cameras. On a slow connection this can save a good 10-20 seconds.
• If your connection is struggling, you'll get a retry option after a few seconds, not an endless spinner.
• We also cut CPU usage, fixed memory leaks, and stopped GPS from draining your battery in the background.
• Skip back or forward on a cam, and you'll now see how far you jumped.
FIXED
• Duplicate severe weather warning notifications.
• Rain alerts open the map at the alert location, even if you've travelled away from it.
• Current wind conditions disappeared in calm or variable winds.
• The Sun forecast was blank at far-northern spots like Anchorage.
• Moon widgets showed the wrong image during the waxing gibbous phase.
• The River Level graph showed yesterday's data after midnight, and didn't resize when you rotated an iPad.
• Swell and Tides screens could go blank or wrongly report "no data".
• Wind and swell graphs lost hourly detail on the 3 and 5 day views.
• Stale dates and the occasional freeze after the app sat in the background for a long time.
• Brief error flashes on first launch and when switching countries.
• The custom default graph refreshes as soon as you reset or enable it.
• Pinch-zooming the map no longer drops an accidental pin.
• Changing country in Settings now takes you to location selection like it should.
• Apple Watch: complications that stopped updating, clipped pressure values on small faces, and hourly complications showing a logo placeholder.
• Free users could get stuck on an endless loading screen while offline.
WillyWeather now requires iOS 16 or later. Layers needs iOS 17.

Big update, this one. The headline is Layers: interactive weather maps built right into the app.
NEW
• Layers. Satellite, wind, wind gust, swell, rainfall, UV and more, opening framed to your location. Pins you drop sync across your devices.
• Offline forecasts for WillyWeather Plus subscribers. No internet? Your most recent forecast is still there.
• The live cam map now has a button to get back to the camera list.
FASTER & SMOOTHER
• The forecast shows as soon as it loads instead of waiting on maps and cameras. On a slow connection this can save a good 10-20 seconds.
• If your connection is struggling, you'll get a retry option after a few seconds, not an endless spinner.
• We also cut CPU usage, fixed memory leaks, and stopped GPS from draining your battery in the background.
• Skip back or forward on a cam, and you'll now see how far you jumped.
FIXED
• Duplicate severe weather warning notifications.
• Rain alerts open the map at the alert location, even if you've travelled away from it.
• Current wind conditions disappeared in calm or variable winds.
• The Sun forecast was blank at far-northern spots like Anchorage.
• Moon widgets showed the wrong image during the waxing gibbous phase.
• The River Level graph showed yesterday's data after midnight, and didn't resize when you rotated an iPad.
• Swell and Tides screens could go blank or wrongly report "no data".
• Wind and swell graphs lost hourly detail on the 3 and 5 day views.
• Stale dates and the occasional freeze after the app sat in the background for a long time.
• Brief error flashes on first launch and when switching countries.
• The custom default graph refreshes as soon as you reset or enable it.
• Pinch-zooming the map no longer drops an accidental pin.
• Changing country in Settings now takes you to location selection like it should.
• Apple Watch: complications that stopped updating, clipped pressure values on small faces, and hourly complications showing a logo placeholder.
• Free users could get stuck on an endless loading screen while offline.
WillyWeather now requires iOS 16 or later. Layers needs iOS 17.
