Apple Weather does the forecast. We do the wardrobe.

We don’t forecast the weather ourselves. We take Apple Weather, which your iPhone already trusts, and turn it into a straight answer about what to put on.

FAQ

Anything we haven’t covered, get in touch.

How does it decide what I should wear?

Temperature, wind and humidity shape the feels like reading from Apple Weather. Then it checks the sky and whether the sun is high, low or down, adds warmth for whatever you're doing, checks the chance of rain, and leans everything your way based on your settings. Out comes one answer: your bottoms, your top, and whether to take an umbrella.

Which activities can I pick?

Everyday, walk, run, golf, tennis, and watching sport. Each one changes the answer, because a run warms you up and standing on a sideline does the opposite. More are on the way.

What if I run hot, or always feel the cold?

Tell it once and it remembers. You can set whether you reach for shorts sooner or later, and whether you'd rather a t-shirt or an extra layer. Everything shifts to match, including the hours ahead.

Can I use it without sharing my location?

Yes. Search for a place instead and it'll keep the ones you use, so you can flick between them.

Where does the weather come from?

Apple Weather. You can see the full list of sources on our weather data page.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. iPhone is first, and Google Play follows.
