Doldrums
Know your skies
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Doldrums is a daily weather edition, the weather page of a good regional newspaper, rebuilt as an app.
Most weather apps are dashboards: numbers to glance at. Doldrums is something to read. Alongside current conditions, hourly and 7-day forecasts, and live radar, it carries the Forecast Discussion, the National Weather Service forecasters' own written analysis of what the atmosphere is doing in your region, updated several times a day. The actual humans, in their own words.
Add the cities you care about. Check the radar. Read the discussion. Leave a field note.
Doldrums 1.5
NEW
- Sky Chart: an interactive star chart in the Sky tab. Drag to scrub through the night, pinch to zoom, and it follows your location. 2,061 stars, 22 constellations, moon phase, and the five naked-eye planets, with a Tonight panel for what's up right now.
- Readability polish: bigger small type across the app, pinch-to-zoom on the page, and a better-sized temperature on mobile.
FIXED
- The Sky Chart no longer crashes on gibbous-moon nights.
- "Save this edition" now actually saves your preview city.
- The 10-minute auto-refresh stopped firing overlapping refreshes.
- The "Add a city" button is visible again on the mobile welcome screen.
Signs & Seasons, the Almanac expansion, soil temps, and the tiered hard-frost watch all ride along in this build.
