Whimsy Weather

Whimsy Weather draws the weather instead of tabulating it.

The top half of the screen is a hand-drawn landscape under a real sky: the Sun
and the Moon are where they actually are, the Moon shows its true phase, and the
rain, snow, cloud and wind in the picture are the ones in the forecast. The
bottom half is the numbers.

A SKY THAT IS ACTUALLY THE SKY
Sunrise, sunset, twilight and the midnight sun are computed, not faked. At 64°N
in June the sky never goes fully dark, because it doesn't.

TWENTY-ONE LANDSCAPES, ALL OF THEM ALIVE
Hills, farm, city, beach, harbour, open sea, mountains, desert, lake and the
tropics — and every one has something in it that the wind moves. Smoke leans
downwind, the windmill turns with the wind, palms bend and coconuts fall above
60 km/h.

SIX PLACES THAT READ THE WEATHER
Taipei 101 shows the cloud base by the floor that disappears into it. Fuji puts
the freezing level on a cone of known height, and the Golden Gate's 1,280 m span
is a ruler for visibility. The Eiffel Tower's fountains lean in the wind, Liberty
stands in water that turns to pack ice, and the Pyramids cast the Sun's bearing
across the sand.

THE VIEW FROM A WINDOW
A plane, high-speed rail, a car, a train and a bus. Rain on the glass is a
speedometer: straight down at a red light, flat at 300 km/h.

A WORLD CLOCK WITH LANDMARKS
Every saved city on one 24-hour dial, ringed by landmarks that turn with the
time and light their windows at night, with each city's weather drawn over
its own. Turn the dial to find an hour that works everywhere.

WARNINGS, AND HONESTY ABOUT WHERE THEY CAME FROM
Where a national weather service publishes warnings the app reads them and names
the issuer — the US National Weather Service, or MeteoAlarm for Europe.
Everywhere else its own advisories are derived from the forecast, and say so.

SEVEN WIDGETS ON THE HOME SCREEN
Tonight's sky with the true Moon, today's conditions, the five-day outlook, what
to wear — and the scene itself.

YOURS, IN YOUR UNITS
Every unit switches on its own, or follows your region. English, Français,
繁體中文, 简体中文 and 日本語.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
No account. No analytics. No advertising. The forecast comes from MET Norway,
or with Pro from Apple's own WeatherKit, and searching for a place goes through
Apple's frameworks — so the only thing that leaves your phone is where you want
the weather for.

FREE, SOURCES AND PRO
Free keeps one saved place plus wherever you are, with the full conditions
panel, the hourly and five-day forecasts, and warnings and advisories; its
forecast comes from MET Norway. Pro adds Apple Weather, with next-hour rain where
Apple has radar, unlimited places, the seven widgets, the other twenty
landscapes, the world clock and the timeline to scrub hour by hour. Subscribe,
or buy it once and keep it.
Sources is a one-time purchase with everything in Pro except Apple Weather: MET
Norway out of the box, or OpenWeatherMap, WeatherAPI.com, Pirate Weather and
others with your own free API key.

NOT A WARNING SERVICE
This is a weather app for looking at, not a safety system. For decisions that
matter, follow your national weather service.
