Summer and WWDC arrive together this year, and Hello Weather is ready for both. It’s one of the most beloved indie weather apps around, and right now it’s half off, which makes it a great time to give it a try as your daily driver.
Hello Weather has always been known for its simple, friendly, and readable design. The information you care about most, including the current conditions, hourly forecast, and outlook for the days ahead, is always close by, where and when you need them.
It provides instant access to current conditions, the hourly forecast, and the forecast for the days ahead all live on a single screen, so the info you actually care about is right in front of you without having to scroll through clutter or hunt for what you want.
But beneath that simplicity lies an amazing amount of depth. There are a dozen data points, each with a dedicated deep-dive and beautiful charts for the UV Index, Air Quality, Humidity, Wind, Feels Like Temperature, Moon Phase, and more. Extended hourly forecasts make it easy to time an afternoon hike, figure out when the rain will clear, or decide whether Saturday’s barbecue is a go.
Another great touch is that you can choose your own weather data source. Hello Weather supports more than a dozen providers, including Apple Weather, AccuWeather, Foreca, and The Weather Company. Stick with whichever is most accurate for your area, or swap between them to compare.
Hello Weather is loaded with all the latest Apple technologies you expect, too: proactive notifications that fire only when something’s worth knowing, a smooth real-time radar for when conditions change fast, and a great Apple Watch app with rich complications. The flexible widgets are a great way to freshen up your Home Screen, and you can customize themes, icons, and layouts to make the app your own.
The app also respects your privacy. It doesn’t collect user-identifiable data, has no ads, and won’t sell your information. Made by a small independent team, it’s been serving millions of forecasts to happy customers around the world for over a decade, and it’s a regular App of the Day in the App Store.
To celebrate WWDC week, Hello Weather is 50% off: use code WWDC to get half off your first year. Download free, start a 7-day trial, and make it your go-to app for the summer and beyond.
Our thanks to Hello Weather for supporting MacStories’ WWDC coverage this week.
