Asked
often.

How accurate are the forecasts?

We blend 47 weather models, weighted by recent local performance. Average 24-hour MAE on temperature is 1.4°F; precipitation skill score 94.6 of MOS baseline.

What's hyperlocal mean?

1km grid resolution. Your park can have a different forecast from the road outside it. Useful when a thunderstorm is 4 km wide.

Are alerts noisy?

By default, only severe weather (lightning, hail, flash flood) within your radius. You can dial in custom rules — 'tell me when chance of rain in next hour > 47%' — without leaving the app.

Does it use my location all the time?

Only when you check the app. If you opt into commute alerts, location is used briefly at your set times — never continuously, never sold.
