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, source-aware weather maps, 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, ads, analytics, or tracking. Forecasts stay device-to-government where practical, with a tightly bounded cache bridge for providers that require one.
Free - Web, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch - No sign-in - Official public weather sources
The app requests forecasts, alerts, observations, weather imagery, and tropical storm information from official public weather sources where available.
No Weather Direct account, analytics SDKs, advertising identifiers, or server-side 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.
Map
Weather maps without the noise.
The Map tab opens around the selected location, shows the newest official weather frame first, and labels the source truthfully as regional radar or global satellite imagery. Controls stay separated and simple.
- Current-location or manually selected-location weather map.
- Newest official weather frame displayed first.
- Manual Play/Pause animation behavior.
- Compact layers control for weather imagery, alerts, and tropical systems 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 and does not include ads, analytics SDKs, or tracking. Selected location and recent weather data stay in app-private browser or device storage. A bounded cache bridge is used only for providers whose browser rules require it, and the native alert relay stores delivery tokens and official alert-zone identifiers rather than a weather profile.
- 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 Map to see the newest official regional radar or global satellite 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.
