Ever wondered how accurate your weather forecast actually is? VeriSky lets you find out, and pick the model that works best for you.
Most weather apps choose a model for you, or quietly blend a few. But no single model wins everywhere. The one that nails temperature in your city might be hopeless at wind, or great for tomorrow yet useless a week out, and the best model can differ between towns just miles apart.
VeriSky scores how each model has actually performed at your exact location over the past days, weeks, and months, separately for temperature, rain, wind, and sun. It also shows how far ahead each stays reliable, so you know which to trust short-term and which for the long haul.
Switch between the top global models, all free:
- ECMWF IFS: the gold standard in global forecasting
- ECMWF AIFS: ECMWF's new AI-powered model
- GFS: NOAA's widely-used American model
- AIGFS: NOAA's new AI-powered model
- ICON: Germany's DWD high-resolution model
Show several at once to see where they agree, or blend them into one confidence score for every hour and day.
Time travel: drag back up to 7 days to see what a model predicted on earlier days, laid over what actually happened. One glance tells you how much to trust tomorrow's forecast.
Plus charts for temperature, sunshine, UV, precipitation (rain vs. snow), wind, cloud, humidity, pressure, and marine (waves, currents), a wind map, Feels like temperature by default, and home screen and lock screen widgets, all in one app.
Past hours are measured, not modelled. Where radar reaches (Europe, the United States and southern Canada), the rain behind you comes from observed radar, so a shower that fell at 14:00 sits at 14:00. Lock screen widgets keep the next hours in view without unlocking your phone.
Your own weather station: connect yours, or pick a station shared nearby straight from the map. Past hours at that place then show what the station measured, and the models are scored against those readings instead of the nearest grid point. Free, and your keys stay on the phone.
No login. No ads. No data collection. Just weather, verified.
VeriSky Pro, optional:
- Commercial forecasts: add Apple Weather, OpenWeatherMap and Visual Crossing to the comparison, scored at your location against what actually happened
- Your locations, scored: pick up to 10 saved places and have every model collected and verified there, like at the airports
- Rain nowcast: minute-scale radar outlook for Europe, the United States, Canada and Hong Kong, plus a satellite rain nowcast for Thailand
- Sports: best-window finder for running, hiking, cycling, sailing, kitesurfing and gliding, with advanced charts, spot settings and personal limits
Commercial model standings on the Score tab stay free for everyone, and the nowcast in the Netherlands stays free too.

the app's data is very professional; I hope a Chinese language option can be added😊
Very good

I like it.
- Glass: a new look for the app, with a photo of the current weather behind frosted cards. Turn it on in Settings > Display > Appearance.
- Rain Nowcast map in Settings: live rain coverage worldwide at a glance. With PRO, zoom in and play the next two hours.
- Lightning on rain maps: show lightning seen by satellite over Europe in the past 24 hours.
- The Apple Watch app and its complications now use the app's language.
- Drift tab: choose its model yourself. Drift and Compare now include the commercial forecasts (PRO).
- Fixes: Today no longer fails to load at some places with your own weather station, the full-screen wind map switches models properly, and the rain map no longer reloads over and over.
