Features

Weather features that stay out of the way.

Weather Direct brings current conditions, hourly context, a clean 7-day forecast, radar, alerts, and tropical storm awareness into one calm weather app - without ads, accounts, analytics, or a Weather Direct backend.

Current temperature

Current temperature and source-backed feels-like value.

Wind and rain

Wind and rain context under the condition.

Hourly strip

Current-hour-forward hourly strip.

Daily and nightly periods

Readable daily and nightly forecast periods.

Calendar context

Calendar dates shown beside forecast labels.

Measured artwork

Rain and thunder artwork threshold avoids overstating light-risk days.

Short summaries

Urgency groups

Local notification checks

Privacy

No account. No ads. No Weather Direct backend.

Weather Direct is intentionally small in what it asks from you. It uses location to request weather, stores recent app data locally, and avoids ads, analytics SDKs, tracking SDKs, Firebase, CloudKit sync, and Weather Direct backend profiles.

No sign-in

No Weather Direct account or sign-in.

No ad profile

No ads or advertising identifiers.

No analytics SDKs

No analytics SDKs or tracking SDKs.

Local app storage

Local app-private storage for cache, preferences, and seen-alert records.

Get the forecast without the feed.

Weather Direct gives you the practical weather surfaces people check every day, designed around attention, privacy, and calm.
