Solcast: Weather That Guides Your Day Most weather apps stop at the forecast. Solcast goes further by turning real-time weather data into personalized, actionable guidance for your everyday life. It bridges the gap between raw data and your daily routine, telling you exactly how the day affects you. A DAILY BRIEFING TAILORED TO YOUR LIFE Every morning, a single glanceable card delivers up to six prioritized action items. You will get sun protection reminders, rain gear nudges, pollen warnings, ideal pet walking times, and migraine alerts. Every single insight is customized to your personal preferences and physical sensitivities, so you only see what matters to you. PERSONALIZED LIFESTYLE INDICES Solcast tracks dressing comfort, UV exposure, flu risk, allergy levels, sports suitability, car wash conditions, air quality, skin care, and ventilation. All of these are calculated right on your device using more than twenty seven weather metrics. Because everything happens locally, there is no server dependency, no lag, and the app works perfectly offline. SMART OUTFIT RECOMMENDATIONS An intelligent rule based engine selects clothing across seven distinct categories, including tops, bottoms, outerwear, footwear, accessories, kids, and pets. By evaluating temperature, precipitation, wind, UV, dressing style, and your specific lifestyle settings, Solcast ensures you and your family are always dressed perfectly for the conditions. DEEP CUSTOMIZED OPTIONS Your dashboard adapts instantly to your life. You can configure settings for temperature sensitivity, sun sensitivity, allergy awareness, migraine sensitivity, dressing style, outdoor exercise habits, kids, pets, and car ownership. Each setting reshapes the entire application experience immediately without requiring a network call. SEAMLESS MULTI LOCATION SUPPORT Save up to ten cities and switch between them instantly. Every location you add receives its own dedicated forecast, lifestyle indices, outfit picks, and daily briefing, making it effortless to manage travel or check on family. PREMIUM DATA AND PRIVACY FIRST DESIGN Solcast utilizes premium primary weather data from Apple WeatherKit with an automatic OpenMeteo fallback. Air quality and pollen data are sourced from the OpenMeteo Air Quality API, giving you rich details on sunrise, sunset, cloud cover, visibility, pressure, dew point, and wind gusts. Best of all, your data belongs to you. All computation happens entirely on device. There are no accounts required, no tracking, no advertisements, and no data ever leaves your phone.
