Open it, drag your thumb through the hours, and you know.

Always Weather puts the day on one calm screen. Slide along the hours and everything follows your thumb: the time, the temperature, what it feels like, the wind and the rain. Each hour settles into place with a light tick, so you can find 5 pm without looking twice.

See the rain coming
One plain sentence sums up the day, like "Rain from 13:00, clearing by 16:00." or "Dry all day." It answers the question you opened the app for.

Two ways to see it
The same forecast, shown the way you like. Pick one when you first open the app and switch any time in Settings.
• Sky: the whole screen takes the colour of the weather at the hour you choose.
• Paper: warm and typographic. Just the words and the numbers.

From the forecasters who know your sky
Where you are decides who makes your forecast: the Met Office in the UK and Ireland, Deutscher Wetterdienst in Germany, the US National Weather Service in the US, and MET Norway everywhere else. Prefer another? Choose it in Settings.

Official warnings, calmly put
When the national weather service issues a warning for where you are, one short line says so, and a tap shows it exactly as they wrote it. In the UK these are Met Office Weather Warnings; in Ireland, Germany, Norway and the US, the national service's own.

The next hour, in the UK and Ireland
A line from the Met Office's radar-based forecast tells you what the next hour holds, like "Rain likely within the hour." or "Dry until at least 17:00."

Made for Googlebooks too
On a Googlebook, a tablet or any wide window, the hour you're looking at sits on the left and the days ahead on the right, and the widget spreads across the desktop in two columns. Swipe sideways on the trackpad, or use the arrow keys, to move through the hours.
