Precipitate is now live on the app store!
iTunes preview
Precipitate is a weather app that presents the forecast data in a series of charts to make viewing a whole day's weather quick and intuitive. The application will save the latest forecast on your device for up to one hour, so a recently-acquired forecast can be reviewed again without an internet connection, such as when underground.
Weather data is visible in three sets of charts: 12-hour, 48-hour, and 7-day.
The 12-hour and 48-hour data points are:
- Actual Temperature
- Apparent Temperature
- Precipitation Probably
- Rainfall (including liquid volume of snow)
- Snowfall
- Wind Speed
- Cloud Cover
- Visibility
- Ozone
- Humidity
- Dew Point
- Pressure
The 7-day data points are:
- Min Actual Temperature
- Max Actual Temperature
- Min Apparent Temperature
- Max Apparent Temperature
- Precipitation Probability
- Rainfall (including liquid volume of snow)
- Max Precipitation Intensity
- Wind Speed
- Cloud Cover
- Visibility
- Ozone
- Humidity
- Dew Point
- Pressure
Precipitate is powered by the Forecast.io API.
There are four options for units of measure defined by the Forecast API:
| Units | Temp | Snowfall | Rainfall | Distance | Windspeed | Pressure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| US | ℉ | in | in/hr | mi | mph | mbar |
| SI | ℃ | ㎝ | ㎜/hr | ㏎ | m/s | hPa |
| UK | ℃ | ㎝ | ㎜/hr | mi | mph | hPa |
| CA | ℃ | ㎝ | ㎜/hr | ㏎ | kph | hPa |
And 27 language options provided by the API, which will only affect the summary label at the top of the screen:
- Arabic (ar)
- Bosnian (bs)
- Chinese, Simplified (zh)
- Chinese, Traditional (zh-tw)
- Cornish (kw)
- Czech (cs)
- Dutch (nl)
- English (en)
- German (de)
- Greek (el)
- French (fr)
- Croatian (hr)
