About this app

Most weather apps are loud. Quiet Weather is not.

No ads. No news feed. No push notifications begging you to come back. No account to make. It opens, it tells you what the sky is doing, and it gets out of your way.

HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT DOESN'T KNOW

Every forecast is a guess, and most apps hide that. Quiet Weather asks two independent weather models - Canada's GEM and Europe's ECMWF - the same question, and shows you how much they agree. When they agree, you can lean on it. When they don't, you get told, instead of being handed a false number with a confident icon on it.

OFFICIAL ALERTS, WORD FOR WORD

Warnings come straight from Environment and Climate Change Canada, matched to your exact location against the real alert polygon rather than to whichever city is nearest. They appear exactly as ECCC issued them - never rewritten, never summarised, never re-rated. Alerts are free and always will be.

WILL THE RAIN REACH ME?

The question a radar map never quite answers. Quiet Weather reads minute-by-minute precipitation at your exact pin and tells you when it starts, when it eases, and roughly how much - with a two-hour strip so you can see it coming.

IS THIS NORMAL FOR HERE?

A forecast of 27 degrees means nothing until you know whether 27 is warm for here in August. Weather Compared sets today, and the month so far, against ten years of measured history for your exact place - and you can look back at any month in the last decade to see what it actually did.

RADAR THAT FEELS LIKE A MAP

ECCC's 1 km rain and snow composites over Canada's own base map, with proper inertial pan and pinch, an hour of animation, and an optional overlay of the official alert areas.

WIDGETS THAT EARN THEIR SPACE

Eighteen of them. Hourly and daily strips with the temperature curve drawn properly. Squares for a corner of the screen - including one that shows where the sun actually is in today's arc, and one that puts the temperature on a scale from today's low to today's high. A full forecast panel. Sun and moon with a real terminator, lit exactly as much as the moon actually is tonight. Radar, alerts, rain countdown. All of them wear whichever sky you choose.

FOR THE THINGS YOU ACTUALLY DO OUTSIDE

Thirteen honest day-readings - gardening, running, cycling, driving, the dog walk, hiking, camping, golf, the patio, photography, the school run, outdoor work, and clearing the driveway - each with a rating, the best window, and the one thing worth planning around. Plus fishing, paddling and boating conditions, and a night-by-night camping comparison that answers "which night", not just "is tonight any good".

Frost warnings arrive in the evening, while there is still light to cover the plants and drain the hose.

BUILT FOR CANADA

ECCC alerts and radar. The Canadian AQHI where a station is near you. Pressure in kPa, because that is what the forecast on the radio says. Metric or imperial throughout, your choice.

QUIET BY DESIGN

Four sky palettes, a warm dark mode, and a lock-screen line if you want the temperature without unlocking. Turn any of it off.

PRIVACY, MEANT LITERALLY

No analytics. No crash reporting. No advertising SDK. No account. No server of ours for your data to sit on. Your places and settings stay on your phone. The only thing that leaves your device is the coordinates needed to ask for a forecast.
