Honest Weather

A forecast that shows its working.

Most weather apps show you one number and hope you do not check it. Honest Weather reads several independent forecasts, blends them into one clear conclusion, draws the range it could land in, and keeps score of who has been right near you. Coming soon for iPhone and iPad.

One conclusion, every source visible

Your conclusion is the bold line, with a shaded range around it. Every source's own line sits underneath it, so when the sources disagree you see it, instead of a single number that hides it. Temperature, rain, wind and more, by the hour and by the day.

A track record, earned on your phone

The app saves the forecasts it fetches and later compares them with real readings near you: a weather station for temperature and wind, and a rain gauge for rain where one reports (England at first). A source that keeps being right counts for more. Until there is enough history, the app says it is still learning, and it never shows a score it has not earned.

Rain, with its other half

30 percent rain also means 70 percent dry, and the app shows both. Chances are put into plain words - unlikely, possible, probably, likely - and the same words are used in the app, the widgets and the alerts.

See what changed

A change log tells you when the forecast moved, for example rain arriving earlier than it did this morning, so you know whether to trust the new answer.

Ranges, not false certainty

Every number comes with the range it could land in. Where the app has not yet checked that range against real outcomes, it says so rather than calling it a confidence interval.

Radar where it is licensed

Rain radar from national weather services where they cover your area: the United States, Germany and Canada. Elsewhere you get a rain map from forecast models, clearly labelled as a model and not radar.

Widgets and rain alerts

Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. Rain alerts are optional and off until you switch them on, and they are scheduled on your phone itself.

Plain words, on your device

On iPhones that support Apple Intelligence, the on-device model can put the conclusion into friendlier words. It only rephrases: the numbers, ranges and confidence always come from the app's own calculation.

Made for every screen

iPhone and iPad, light and dark, two looks, large text and VoiceOver. English, Simplified Chinese and Brazilian Portuguese.
