RAD Weather: Honest Forecast
Brutal briefings. No BS.
Free · In-App Purchases
RAD Weather is a precision weather terminal that compares multiple forecast sources in one beautifully engineered interface.
Built for people who want more than a single forecast number, RAD Weather blends sources like NWS, Open-Meteo, Environment Canada, Apple WeatherKit, and supported regional alert systems to show where the forecast agrees, where it disagrees, and how confident it really feels.
MULTI-SOURCE INTELLIGENCE
Most weather apps show one forecast and call it done. RAD cross-references multiple providers so you can see the bigger picture. When models agree, confidence rises. When they split, RAD shows the uncertainty instead of hiding it.
BRUTALITY LEVELS
Choose how your weather is delivered. Keep it professional, or let RAD get progressively more blunt, chaotic, and brutally honest about what the sky is doing.
