Southerly shows your whole weather forecast as one beautiful infographic - now for iPhone Duo. Read the shape of the coming weather at a glance: time wraps around a radial dial, temperature colours the outer ring, rain blooms from the centre, and wind fans out as fine spokes. Turn the hand to any moment. Will it get warmer this afternoon? When does the rain arrive? Do I need my umbrella? New rain radar & isobars ONE DIAL, THREE TIMESCALES Switch between 12-hour, 24-hour and 7-day views. Drag the hand through time to see temperature, wind and conditions. THE RADIAL WEATHER • Temperature: amber for heat, blue for cold, with dangerous UV flagged on the ring. • Rain and snow: a blue bloom swells from the centre; even light drizzle shows clearly. • Wind: fine spokes grow with the wind; gust dots distinguish breeze from blast. • Day and night: the rim fades light to dark with real sunrise and sunset. • Haptics: feel the wind rise and the tide turn, with a firm tick at midnight. RAIN RADAR Rain radar fits right inside the dial. Double-tap the centre to cycle through the available charts, then turn the hand back through two hours of observed rainfall to follow its movement around your location. Available where radar coverage exists; update frequency varies by region. SURFACE PRESSURE ISOBARS & FRONTS See the bigger picture inside the same dial: isobars, highs, lows and fronts over a coastline map centred on your location. Turn the hand to follow pressure systems up to five days ahead, with model-derived fronts for the first three days. LOCATIONS Save places and swipe between them. Search for a city or use your current location. Each keeps its own time zone, sunrise and sunset. Weather alerts and earthquake notifications appear beneath the dial. DARK MODE A luminous temperature ring, brighter rain and tide line turn the dial into a night instrument. Matches your device theme on first launch. TIDES, BUILT IN Offline tide prediction combines harmonic stations worldwide with the FES2022 global tide model for many other coastal locations. Computed entirely on your phone, with no tide service or connection needed. Informational only: never rely on it for navigation or safety. TE AO MĀORI & MARAMATAKA Turn on te reo Māori for iwi place names, days and conditions in te reo, and the maramataka: the Māori lunar calendar. See tonight's moon phase, the season's whetū, the lunar month (including Ruhanui in a Te Tau Toru Nui o Matariki year), and Tangaroa nights favoured for hunting and gathering. Focus maramataka on hunting, fishing or trapping interests. A STORY, NOT A SPREADSHEET Apple Intelligence writes a short, plain-language summary of your next 24 hours, including detail beyond the chart. Generated on device and offline using downloaded forecast data. Requires a device that supports Apple Intelligence. NAVIGATION See live heading, altitude and speed at your current position, plus a magnetic or true north marker on the dial. UNITS Choose °C or °F, millimetres or inches, and Beaufort, m/s, km/h, mph or knots. iPHONE WIDGETS & APPLE WATCH Keep the 24-hour dial on your Home Screen with small and medium widgets. On Apple Watch, swipe between locations and turn the Digital Crown to explore the forecast. Widgets and Watch use weather data synced from your iPhone. CACHED DATA Downloaded forecasts and saved pressure charts remain available offline, with saved data marked clearly. Check the forecast before heading out: fresh weather and radar require a connection. PRIVATE BY DESIGN, NO SUBSCRIPTIONS We collect no personal data. Weather Story, tide prediction and lunar calculations run on your device. No recurring subscription to forget. ACTIVELY DEVELOPED Built for our own use, including learning te reo Māori and exploring maramataka's influence on predator trapping in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Designed for the latest iOS, with support back to iOS 18. Spot something to improve, especially in maramataka? Let us know and we'll do our best.
