COVERAGE
Weather reports are available for nearly anywhere in the world. If in doubt, go to http://forecast.io and try your location to see if you like the report.
Radar is currently North America only, but I expect to support more soon.
The hour forecast is currently limited to US, UK, Ireland.
DAILY COMPARISON
When you're getting dressed, what do you want to know?
"How does today compare with yesterday?"
Weather Nerd includes a nice daily comparison:
"Today is 9° cooler than yesterday. No rain."
This makes it easy to grab the right coat.
MINUTE-TO-MINUTE FORECAST
Weather Nerd also gives you minute-by-minute rain predictions for your exact GPS location. Powered Dark Sky's cutting edge "hyperlocal precipitation forecasting system", these reports show you a nice graph of the rain intensity for the next hour based on your exact location. For example, you might see:
"Light rain starting in 10 minutes, stopping 15 minutes later."
DAILY FORECAST
The daily forecast screen shows you a graph of the temperature, rain, and wind for today. Touch anywhere on the graph to view the forecast for a specific hour.
At the bottom of the screen you'll see the current temperature and other details like the high, low, chance of precipitation, wind speed, direction, moon phase, sunset, sunrise, humidity, etc.
WEEKLY FORECAST
The weekly forecast shows you a quick graph of the projected highs and lows for the next week, along with the chance of rain. Touch any day to view the full forecast for that day.
BEYOND 7 DAYS
Need to see the forecast for two weeks or two months out? No problem. Weather Nerd's calendar lets you view the forecast for any date within the next year.
NERD OUT
For the real weather nerds, the "Nerd Out" feature will list out ALL of the weather information.
NERD ALERTS
Weather Nerd lets you setup a daily weather forecast alert (in 15 minute intervals). You can turn the alert on/off for certain days of the week.
If you set your alert to 6pm or later, then the forecast will be for "tomorrow's" weather.
ABOUT THE WEATHER REPORTS
Most of the data for this app is powered by the unbelievable team at Forecast.io. They combine data from up to 18 different sources and use statistical analysis to create the most accurate forecast possible.
NERD WIDGETS
Some of you nerds like to use iPhone and iPad widgets. No problem. Weather Nerd comes packaged with 3 different widgets for your viewing pleasure including graphs for the "Next Hour", "Daily Overview", and "Upcoming Week".
Why a subscription? The average nerd checks weather 4-5 times a day. Over a year, that alone cost nearly 1 USD to our providers. That's not counting additional data used for radar tiles, alerts, widgets, watch, multiple devices, servers, etc. It would be completely unsustainable to charge a one time fee for a lifetime of data.

Customer Reviews
The best home screen" weather app
My new favorite way to check the weather (and I've used dozens of iOS weather apps). The "nerdy cloud" is now on my home screen as my go-to weather app and the new Apple Watch app is great. Really like the daily forecast notification, the "tomorrow" view and the calendar entry overlays. Looking forward to seeing where the devs can take this app. *Very glad to never see an ad!* I'd like to see an option to choose which screen is shown on launch and the ability to quickly swipe between day details from the week view (instead of having to keep going back to the week view), but those are just some minor suggestions. P.S. be sure to "Nerd Out"! :-)
Best I've tried
I love this app for weather. I paid the first time with the intention of it being a one-time thing, but yet a found myself renewing over and over again. Like a lot of people, I downloaded a bunch of weather apps to decide which to keep. This was the winner. I love the accuracy. I love being able to see what is happening in the next hour. Several times I have been out with family or friends and it's started to rain. While they were all ready to pack it up, I was able to check the app and see that the rain will
stop in 8 min. That's exactly what happened too. Great weather app!
Good app, close to being my one and only weather app
Maybe it's just me, but with all the information Weather Nerd provides, I just wish they had used a different font for all the information. The thin modern font (especially at night with the black background) is very difficult to see. Because of this, I find myself returning to other weather apps. The app is worth the money for the information Weather Nerd provides, but even with my good near vision I find that the font choice could be much better.
