Everything you need, nothing you don't

One app that covers the glance, the detail and the wrist.

  • Home Screen widgets

    Small, medium and large. Show one location or several, each with its own icon set, color and font.

  • Lock Screen & StandBy

    Put the temperature and conditions where you already look — on the Lock Screen, or on the nightstand in StandBy.

  • Apple Watch & complications

    A full watch app with current conditions, an hourly list and a daily forecast — plus complications for your favorite faces.

  • Graph or list

    Read the next 24 hours as a meteogram or as a scrollable list. Set the app, the medium widget and the large widget independently.

  • Two forecast services

    Switch between MET Norway and OpenWeatherMap, and keep whichever is more accurate where you are.

  • Speaks your language

    The app is available in 13 languages and the forecast text in 23 — with GPS or any fixed location you pick on the map.

Widgets that tell you what you need to know

Current conditions, hourly temperature curve, precipitation and a five-day outlook, right on the Home Screen.

An iPhone Home Screen holding four widget weather widgets at once: a medium graph widget for Oslo showing rain, two small current-condition widgets for Oslo and Union Square, and a second medium graph widget for Union Square.
Different sizes and locations — all at the same time.
A large widget weather widget filling the top of an iPhone Home Screen, showing Oslo at 16 degrees and raining, an hourly temperature graph with precipitation columns beneath it, and a five-day forecast with rainfall amounts and probabilities.
The large widget shows current conditions, 6 or 12 hours of details and five days ahead.
An iPhone Lock Screen with two widget weather widgets: an inline one under the clock reading Union Square, 15 degrees, partly cloudy, and a circular one showing 15 degrees with a cloud symbol.
On the Lock Screen, inline under the clock or as a circular widget.
An iPad Home Screen showing six widget weather widgets in three sizes, tracking Union Square and Oslo side by side.
On iPad there's room for all of them.
An iPhone on its side in StandBy mode, showing a widget weather widget for Oslo — 16 degrees, 4 mm, heavy rain, from met.no — next to a calendar.
And in StandBy, while it charges on the nightstand.

Read it your way

The detailed forecast shows three hour periods from OpenWeatherMap, and one or six hours from MET Norway depending on where you are and how far ahead you look.

Backgrounds shift between light and dark to match day and night for whichever period you're looking at. Prefer it not to? Turn on high contrast and it stays put.

The graph view: a smooth temperature curve across 24 hours with a weather symbol above each period, blue precipitation columns rising where the heavy rain falls, a colored UV index bar chart underneath and a six-day forecast row at the bottom.

Graph view

The white line is temperature; the columns on the top graph are precipitation. The second graph is UV-index for clear sky, this is available only from met.no forecasts.

Touch the graph and a marker appears. Drag left or right and the detail panel at the top follows your finger, showing that exact period instead of the current one — let go and it snaps back to now.

Tap any day in the row underneath to scope the whole graph to that day. Tap it again to return to the next 24 hours.

Double tap the screen to force refresh data

The list view: hour-by-hour rows from 14:00 to midnight for Oslo, each with a weather symbol, temperature, precipitation and wind speed, with the current hour highlighted.

List view

The same forecast as a scrollable list — every period with its symbol, temperature, precipitation and wind, and the current one highlighted.

Tap any row to pin its details to the panel at the top; tap it again to release. Select a day first and the list scopes to that day, exactly like the graph does.

A comparison table of ten weather icon sets — yr.no new icon set, Climacons by Adam Whitcroft, Oxygen, MS-02 by Mike Afford, Revelio by Hamsterwheel, Google Now by NCrystal, Stickers by KorToIk, Sunny Icons and Sunny Icons Smile by Hand-drawn goods, and Pixeled Weather — each shown as clear, night, cloudy, rain and thunder symbols.
…and nine more sets, including two animated ones, emoji and Apple's own weather symbols.
  • widget weather in the default sky blue theme with the yr.no icon set and the San Francisco system font. Sky blue · yr.no
  • widget weather in a black theme with the yellow Pixeled Weather icon set and a small-caps font. Black · Pixeled Weather
  • widget weather in a bright pink theme with the Revelio icon set and a rounded handwriting font. Pink · Revelio
  • widget weather in a dark green theme with the hand-drawn Sunny Icons Smile set, whose suns and moons have faces. Green · Sunny Icons Smile

Separate settings, to keep you in control

  • The App settings screen: an icon set picker previewing the yr.no set, a graph-or-list choice, and toggles for graph animation, time reference lines, average and frost temperature, UV index and max UV value, plus background color, high contrast, font, clock and temperature units. App settings
  • The Widget settings screen, with an icon set picker and separate graph-or-list and graph-hours choices for the medium and the large widget, plus toggles for time reference lines, average temperature, frost temperature, font and units. Widget settings
  • The Apple Watch settings screen: an icon set picker previewing the yr.no set on black, toggles for detailed current forecast and expanded 24-hour details, a link to complication settings, and temperature, wind and precipitation options. Apple Watch settings

The app, the widget and the watch app each keep their own icon set, colors and font — so a look that works on a bright Home Screen doesn't have to follow you onto a black watch face.

Icon set credits

widget weather ships other people's artwork, with thanks. Where a set needed adjusting to sit on a dark background, only the color was changed.

Two forecast services, one switch

Neither service wins everywhere. Try both and keep whichever is more accurate where you are — switching takes a moment and changes nothing else.

MET Norway

The Norwegian Meteorological Institute, whose forecasts power yr.no — the joint service from MET Norway and the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK).

It covers more than 900,000 places in Norway and 8.3 million worldwide, built on data from MET Norway and partners including ECMWF and EUMETSAT.

OpenWeatherMap

Open weather data for more than 200,000 cities and any geo location, in the spirit of OpenStreetMap and Wikipedia.

They run their own weather model, combining global meteorological broadcast data, regional WRF calculation and real-time readings from more than 40,000 weather stations.

In your language

The menus in 13 languages, the forecast text in 23.
