Weathercaster is the best way to view weather forecasts. Powered by Apple WeatherKit and designed with elegant minimalism, Weathercaster strips away clutter and shows exactly what you need to know using easy-to-read charts. We think everyone can benefit from seeing weather data in this format, but it’s especially useful to boaters, sailors, hikers, and adventurers who navigate by understanding weather trends. Our charts condense temperature, cloud cover, rain, snow, lightning, and wind speed into a format that is easy to read at a glance. Privacy first. Always: We take privacy very seriously and have implemented the most stringent privacy policy possible. We use no third-party analytics, no ads, no trackers, and we only use your location when you specifically ask us to. Features: • Fine-tune any forecast location using a map—including remote spots like mountain summits, wilderness areas, and offshore locations. • Charts powered by WeatherKit showing temperature, cloud cover, rain, snow, storm probabilities, and wind speeds. In the US, WeahterKit uses models and data from NOAA and NWS. • View precipitation amounts for the past 12–48 hours, and see expected rainfall from upcoming storms. • View up to 48 hours of past weather history alongside forecasts to spot trends. We believe its always useful to see both forecasts and observations. • Home Screen widget and Apple Watch app are available for quick, glanceable access to forecasts. • Forecasts are available offline - you can download a forecast before your adventure and see it while you're off the grid. • Share forecast charts with friends and export to CSV format to support your professional workflow. Weathercaster is a constantly evolving platform. We’re actively building new features and would love for you to join us. Share your thoughts and ideas—we’re always listening and improving. Our app is free to use, but you can add more locations and access more features if you upgrade to our Pro mode.

Fantastic!

I was hesitant to download Weathercaster, as looking at the screenshots made me think it would be a little confusing with the way it presents data and the charts it utilizes to do so. I was wrong! In reality, the charts, and everything else, are very easy to read and use. Plus, the app looks amazing on both iOS and macOS—I don’t have an iPad, but it most likely looks equally amazing on it.But how accurate are the weather reports it generates? That’s most important. Weathercaster uses Apple’s WeatherKit API to draw its data from. However, I get much more accurate predictions from it than from Apple’s weather app and others I’ve been testing alongside it that use the same API.In resuming, Weathercaster is a great weather app with a beautiful user interface and charts that are easy to read and a joy to use. Highly recommended.

I’m glad you are enjoying Weathercaster! It’s hard to convey how much having a good data visualization improves the experience of looking at the weather, and I’m glad you checked it out despite the initial hesitation. Let us know if you have any feedback or feature ideas!

Elegant minimalism indeed

In a crowded field, it's natural to wonder what another weather app could possibly offer.Well, it turns out quite a bit. While some offer eye candy but are light on actual content, and others overwhelm you with a tsunami of data, Weathercaster strikes the perfect balance. I love being able to see forecasts for all the places I care about, all in one screen without requiring any interaction. And that, if I want more detail, I can delve in and get hourly metrics on everything, including wind direction.This is a brand new app, and I'm sure it'll only getter better over time. I'm looking forward to seeing it evolve. Given the choices the designers made in v1, I think it's headed in the right direction.

I travel a lot and I need accurate weather information for all the places I frequent. The default weather app that comes with iOS not only is inaccurate, it lacks crucial information. This app was made with passion by people that truly understand weather and it can present to you very detailed and accurate weather in a very clean and easy to understand visual presentation. Very polished and excellent. Love the app!
