Straight Weather

Straight Weather is a weather app with nothing in the way. No ads. No trackers. No account. No upsell. Open it and the sky is the whole screen. WHAT YOU GET • Current conditions, 48 hours ahead, and seven days out • Severe-weather alerts from the US National Weather Service — shown above everything else, with the official protective-action instructions in full • Two hours of animated rain radar on the map • The written forecast discussion from your local NWS office • Air quality, UV index, dew point, pressure, visibility, wind and gusts • A home-screen widget, lock-screen complications, and an Apple Watch app HONEST ABOUT THE NUMBERS The forecast is a blend of the ECMWF, ICON, GFS and HRRR weather models, served through Open-Meteo. Straight Weather does not make its own prediction — it presents theirs, normalised and unmodified. When a reading is unavailable, you see a dash. Not a zero, not a guess. A dash means we do not know, and you should be told that. Switch between °F and °C and the forecast is re-fetched in that system. Nothing is converted on your device, so the numbers are always the ones the forecast was issued in. SEVERE WEATHER, TAKEN SERIOUSLY The US National Weather Service is the authority for watches, warnings and advisories. Straight Weather is a window onto their feed, not a replacement for it. Active alerts appear at the top of the screen, sorted worst-first, with the NWS's own wording — including the instruction text that tells you what to actually do. For anything consequential, the app links you straight to weather.gov. Alerts are shown while the app is open. Straight Weather does not send push notifications for severe weather, and does not pretend to. PRIVACY There are no accounts, so there is nothing to sign up for and nothing to breach. Saved places stay on your device and are never uploaded. Your location is rounded to four decimal places — about 11 metres — before it is used to fetch a forecast, and nothing finer is ever recorded. No advertising SDK. No analytics SDK. No third-party trackers of any kind.
