How it reads
Every sky gets its own sentence.
The sky at the top of the screen follows the weather and the hour, so each kind of day looks different before you read a word. The sentence under it is written for that sky.
-
A showery afternoon
-
A stormy evening

A clear night
Underneath
The hours and the days, for when you want them.
- Rain nearby: when it is likely, and how high the chance gets around you.
- What to wear, from how it will feel outside.
- The next 24 hours as one line, with its likely range behind it, the rain drawn hour by hour and the night shaded. Then each hour of the next two days.
- Nine days ahead. Tap a day to see its hours.
- How today’s high compares with normal, and in the mountains, the height the forecast is for.
- The wind, the humidity, and the visibility when it drops. Daylight, sunrise and sunset, and the moon’s phase.
The map
How much will fall, and where.
Rain and snow totals for the next one to three days are drawn as hexagons over the map, alongside radar and official alerts. Each hexagon is one answer for one area, so the map reads at a glance.
Privacy
Your location stays approximate.
Your device turns your position into an area of about 2 square miles and discards the position. That area is the only location Skyhunch receives. You can leave location off and search for a place instead.
