Overview
- The new iOS app foregrounds uncertainty by pairing a primary forecast with alternate prediction lines that signal confidence when tight and lower certainty when spread out.
- Developers say the core forecast draws on numerical models, satellite data, ground stations, and radar, and they claim it is more reliable than what powered Dark Sky.
- Users can submit local condition reports that appear on maps, which also offer layers for radar, lightning, rain and snow totals, wind, temperature, humidity, cloud cover, and hurricane tracks.
- Customizable alerts include minute‑by‑minute rain warnings, government severe weather notices, nearby lightning, and experimental Acme Labs notifications such as rainbow and striking‑sunset alerts.
- Acme Weather is available now on iPhone with a two‑week free trial before $25 per year, an Android version is planned with hiring underway, and the company pledges no third‑party trackers or data sales.
