Cold Lake joins the forecast. Places nearer Cold Lake than Edmonton, such as Bonnyville, St. Paul, Lac La Biche and Lloydminster, now get forecasts tuned for Cold Lake in the app and in the widgets. Edmonton, Calgary and Grande Prairie forecasts are slightly more accurate, now that the four Alberta airports share what they learn.

Radar widget: rain, snow, mixed precipitation and freezing rain now show in their own colours, the same as the radar map in the app and on the website. A new "Show precipitation type" switch in Map Options turns these colours on or off for both the map and the widget. Map Options now has a colour key: the precipitation colours, lightning by strike age, and warning areas by severity. Every weather widget now shows the time it was last updated. Tapping the Radar widget now always opens Radar, even if the app had been closed for a while. Radar widget: the map under the radar now appears reliably, including after you travel.

Ottawa and Toronto now get Cloudbase's own trained forecasts in the app and in widgets. Rain and snow amounts now always add up to the day's total, and widgets show both amounts on any day with rain and snow, freezing-rain and storm days included. Radar: the time bar now follows your finger, blending smoothly between radar pictures as you swipe. The 1-hour radar forecast shows in amber on the bar, and a new switch in Map Options turns it on or off. In the US, Radar widgets now show the same radar picture as the app. Weather widgets wait briefly for a refresh already in progress, so they show the newest forecast more often. Widgets now show the name of the place you're in, instead of "Current Location", after you move with the app closed.

Weather widgets can now pick up new cities without an app update, starting with Vancouver and Victoria. Improves the diagnostic information the app records about weather widgets.

What’s New in 1.8.11 • Improved Radar widget startup handling. • Reduced memory overhead when drawing Radar widget backgrounds. • Added on-device diagnostics with reports you can preview and share when troubleshooting. • Made diagnostic reports easier to prepare and corrected reporting counts. Thank you for using Cloudbase.

What's New in 1.8.10: • The Radar widget is much lighter on memory, so it no longer stays on "Loading radar…" on iPhone. Please remove your Radar widget and add it again once after updating. • Widgets now show each day's steady wind, and add the gust only on gusty days (written like "30G55"), as the app does. • The Classic widget names freezing rain, freezing drizzle and mixed days instead of "Partly Cloudy". • Updated forecast recipes: Ontario, California now counts timed rain reports, which changed ten of its recipes. • The chance of precipitation no longer goes blank when one weather model has a short outage. Thank you for using Cloudbase.

What's New in 1.8.6: • Widgets now use the latest ClipperAI forecast routing, trained for Edmonton (CYEG), Calgary (CYYC), Red Deer (CYQF) and Grande Prairie (CYQU) • Widget forecasts draw on a wider set of weather models and calculate faster on your device • More reliable widget updates: safer shared storage between the app and widgets, and no overlapping background refreshes • Refreshed widget layouts: current conditions from the nearest airport observation, cleaner spacing with no cut-off text, and a second nearby airfield on large aviation widgets • Radar upgrades: satellite view, wider NOAA coverage, smoother recovery after connection drops, and lightning strikes coloured by age • Faster Overview loading and more accurate "feels like" temperatures Thank you for using Cloudbase.

What's New in 1.8.5: • Added the all-new Forecast Overview widget with multi-day temperature range curves, condition icons, peak wind gusts, and precipitation across all four widget sizes • Upgraded aviation widgets with authentic raw METAR observations and widescreen dual-telemetry layouts • Added smart regional TAF routing for airfields without a direct terminal forecast • Enhanced multi-stop atmospheric gradients and frosted glass styling for Present Weather widgets • Improved display unit consistency across temperature, wind, and precipitation settings • Added Calgary (CYYC) weather station support and improved on-device forecast engine performance Thank you for using Cloudbase.

What's New in 1.8.0: • Cold launch now shows the full skeleton loading screen until weather is ready — no blank screen or brief red offline banner • Home Screen widgets use your current GPS location (within the last 15 minutes) and show “GPS Access Required” when a fresh fix isn’t available • Present Weather widget values now match the in-app Overview • Stale widget forecasts show their age so you know when data is fresh • Widgets correctly display cm precipitation units • GPS location requests from the web view no longer hang when permission is denied • Offline forecasts prefer the location name you selected • Home Screen widgets now render correctly in Clear mode, keeping forecast and aviation content visible against the system background Thank you for using Cloudbase.

What's New in 1.7.9: • Cold launch now shows the full skeleton loading screen until weather is ready — no blank screen or brief red offline banner • Home Screen widgets use your current GPS location (within the last 15 minutes) and show “GPS Access Required” when a fresh fix isn’t available • Present Weather widget values now match the in-app Overview • Stale widget forecasts show their age so you know when data is fresh • Widgets correctly display cm precipitation units • GPS location requests from the web view no longer hang when permission is denied • Offline forecasts prefer the location name you selected Thank you for using Cloudbase.

What's New in 1.7.6: - Widgets match the correct forecast city more reliably using the shared 20-city routing contract and stronger manifest validation. - Cold launch recovery is more truthful: failed or offline loads no longer silently look “loaded,” and the app recovers when connectivity returns. - Location ownership is clearer: automatic GPS and radar centering no longer override a city you chose; only an explicit “use my location” action does. - Radar playback readiness probes and UITest harness improvements for more reliable release validation.

Radar reliability update: - Improves Radar playback readiness on iPhone. - Keeps Radar playback controls responsive while map layers finish loading. - Hardens map controls so Radar stays stable during zooming, dragging, and layer changes. - Includes validation updates for the native iPhone Radar experience.

Fixed blank/white widget bug caused by an invalid temp endpoint URL. Improved widget reliability when forecast data is temporarily unavailable. Fixed edge case where aviation widgets could show blank stations. Better handling of empty forecast responses to prevent blank widgets.

• Radar now opens directly to the map with a native "Show Controls" pill — tap it to open a full-height options panel for lightning, warning polygons, and display quality, then swipe down to dismiss. • Tighter spacing on the Overview page so weather warnings sit closer to the search bar with consistent gaps. • Fixed tab switching and radar routing so Cloudbase is less likely to jump back to another section after you choose where to go. • Improved cold-start restore so the app no longer flashes the website location picker or gets stuck while reopening your saved city. • Fixed cases where Home Screen widgets could appear blank, all-white, or stuck in an unclear loading state when forecast data was missing or still refreshing. • Improved widget forecast accuracy by preserving Cloudbase's real forecast units and only showing gust values when gust data is actually available. • Redesigned the Daily Outlook widget to match the website's forecast view — each day now shows a full-colour weather icon, high and low temperatures with feels-like, peak gust, and a rain/storm probability badge when conditions call for it.
