Strike Weather is a private, no-nonsense weather app for iPhone and iPad that shows you what's happening now and what's coming next.
YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE
A live sky that matches the conditions, the temperature, a plain-English summary, a scrubbable 24-hour chart with rain chances, and a week ahead. Tap any day for hour-by-hour details, wind, UV index, rain and sunrise and sunset.
RADAR, LOCAL AND WIDE, TWO HOURS TO A WEEK OUT
View your nearest NEXRAD radar site, or a wide-area mosaic covering the US, Canada and Germany — switch with one tap, or pick a site by hand. Scrub back two hours of real radar, look an hour ahead with an on-device estimate of where rain is moving, then further out to a day or a week. Turn on storm-cell tracking, wildfires, wind barbs, smoke, lightning, satellite clouds, watches and warnings, or hurricanes, and star your favorites to pin them as one-tap buttons. Tap a warning to read what it means.
ACHIEVEMENTS
A trophy button next to the Time Machine opens a list of achievements to unlock as you explore the app. Some are hidden until you find them, and your progress syncs through your own iCloud account.
RAIN ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN
Turn on the Live Activity and Strike Weather shows up on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island whenever rain or snow is happening or about to start.
WIDGETS FOR YOUR HOME AND LOCK SCREEN
Redesigned widgets with a sky that follows the time of day and the weather, a warning banner for active alerts, a rain strip for the next hour and a temperature range bar, in Small, Medium and Large, plus a Lock Screen gauge and a radar widget to watch the sky from your Home Screen. They follow the weather source and units you choose.
MAKE THE HOME SCREEN YOURS
Reorder or hide the sections on the Weather tab to match how you use the app.
KNOW BEFORE IT RAINS
A banner tells you when rain or snow is about to start, how heavy it will be and how long it should last. Turn on Rain alerts for a notification 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes ahead, your choice. Where Apple Weather has minute-by-minute rain, the timing is even sharper.
TIME MACHINE
What was the weather on your birthday? On the day of a trip? Pick any date back to 2001 and see the temperature, hour by hour, rainfall, wind and more, compared with today.
EVERY READING, EXPLAINED
Tap Feels Like, Humidity, Wind, Precipitation, Pressure, Visibility, Cloud Cover or Sun for a plain-language explanation and a chart of the next 24 hours.
YOUR WEATHER SOURCE, YOUR CHOICE
Apple Weather by default, or switch to the National Weather Service, MET Norway, or Automatic. Prefer Tomorrow.io, OpenWeather or WeatherAPI.com? Bring your own free API key: it stays in your device's Keychain.
SEARCH ANYWHERE
Look up the weather for any city, save your favorites for one tap, and pick up recent searches where you left off.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No ads. No analytics or tracking. Your location is used to fetch your forecast, is never stored, and goes only to the weather and radar services you use. Your preferences and favorites can sync between your devices through iCloud.
GOOD TO KNOW
- Radar and warnings cover the US; the mosaic also covers Canada and Germany; lightning and satellite cover the Americas.
- The one-hour radar look-ahead is an estimate that moves existing rain; it can't show storms that haven't formed yet.
- Rain alerts, the Live Activity and widgets are best effort: iOS decides when they can run or refresh in the background.
- Strike Weather is not a substitute for official warnings. In an emergency, follow your local authorities.
