The Weather Recap - Forecasts You Can Actually Trust
Most weather apps tell you what might happen.
The Weather Recap shows you how accurate those forecasts actually were — for your locations.
By comparing daily forecasts with real observed conditions, the app helps you understand how reliable the weather has been in your area over time.
