Weather Direct keeps the forecast close and the interface quiet, so you can see what matters without digging through stories, ads, or engagement clutter.
Weather Direct
Weather without the noise.
See current conditions, hourly changes, radar, alerts, tropical storm awareness, and a clean 7-day forecast without the feed, pop-ups, or clutter wrapped around so many weather apps.
Weather Direct is built to be opened, understood, and closed. No account. No ads. No analytics SDKs. No Weather Direct backend. Just a calmer way to check what matters outside.

Free - iPhone, iPad, Android phone, and Android tablet - No sign-in - Official public weather sources

No Weather Direct account, no analytics SDKs, no advertising identifiers, and no Weather Direct backend storing your weather profile.
Today
Open app. See weather. Move on.
The Today view is built for the moment you actually check the weather: right before you leave, plan, drive, work, walk, or decide what the day needs. Current conditions, feels-like temperature, hourly changes, wind, rain chance, and daily context stay readable without turning the screen into a dashboard.
- Current conditions from the nearest available observation station.
- Feels-like context for heat, humidity, cold, and wind.
- Hourly cards from the current local hour forward.
- Rain, wind, gusts, humidity, dew point, visibility, pressure, sunrise, and sunset.
Weather should be useful before it asks for your attention.
Forecast
Plan the week ahead without fighting the app.
Weather Direct keeps the 7-day forecast simple enough to scan and detailed enough to be useful. Daily periods show calendar dates, temperatures, short forecasts, precipitation chance, wind context, and concise detail summaries.
- Clean 7-day forecast rows.
- Readable day and night periods.
- Rain and thunder artwork appears only when chance is meaningful enough to avoid overstating storm risk.
- Forecast wording stays clear, not sensationalized.
The forecast should help you plan, not make you hunt.
Radar
Radar without the noise.
The Radar tab opens around the selected location, shows the newest official radar frame first, and keeps controls separated and simple. Weather Direct is designed to make radar feel fast and focused instead of crowded with extra layers and distractions.
- Current-location or manually selected-location radar view.
- Newest official radar frame displayed first.
- Manual Play/Pause animation behavior.
- Compact layers control for radar, alerts, tropical tracks, and cone overlays where available.
See the storm picture clearly, then get back to your day.
Alerts + Tropics
Awareness without alarmism.
Weather Direct surfaces active alerts and tropical systems without turning weather into a fear feed. Alerts are grouped so severe information stays easy to find, while tropical storm awareness remains available when active systems matter.
- Active weather alerts grouped by urgency.
- Alert detail pages with headline, description, instruction, affected area, and severity.
- Tropical systems from public National Hurricane Center storm status where available.
- Local notifications for new or materially changed alerts, subject to device and operating-system limits.
Important weather deserves clarity, not panic.
Privacy
Built to stay out of your life.
Weather Direct does not require an account, does not include ads, does not include analytics SDKs, and does not operate a Weather Direct backend in v1. Your selected location and recent weather data stay in app-private local storage, while weather requests go directly from your device to public weather, geocoding, radar, and mapping services needed to return local conditions.
- No Weather Direct account.
- No ads or advertising identifiers.
- No analytics SDKs or tracking SDKs.
- Local app storage for cached weather, preferences, and seen-alert records.
A weather app should not need to know who you are.
How it works
A quieter weather check, start to finish.
Use device location or search for a city/place manually. Weather Direct uses that location to find relevant forecasts, alerts, observations, radar, and zone metadata.
Current conditions, hourly changes, weather metrics, and the 7-day forecast sit in one calm flow.
Open Radar to see the newest official radar frame, then play the prepared animation when you want motion.
Active alerts and tropical storm information stay available without taking over the whole app.
The product is intentionally designed to give you the weather and let you leave.
