The Global
Weather App

52 and counting. I’m working on adding as many sources as possible. Some sources are harder (and pricier) to license than others, but the list keeps growing. Singapore let me know they are in the process of open sourcing their weather data so that will be coming soon.

59 languages, automatically matched to your device so you get forecasts in the language you actually speak.

Radar maps expect you to know which direction you’re facing. Most people don’t, and they shouldn’t have to. My wife wanted to point her phone at a thunderstorm on the horizon and immediately see whether it was heading our way, so I built a button that does exactly that. As it turns out, I use it just as much as she does.

Yes! Travel outside the farming or weather community and you quickly realize most people do not have a 6th sense for directions. When you live in a big city or your livelihood doesn’t depend on weather, it’s just not as important of a skill.

My wife wasn’t the only family member that helped with this app. My dad is a farmer, my sister is a UX Designer, my niece is a storm chaser enthusiast, and my kids made sure the app was as intuitive as possible. They are also responsible for the StormChaser game idea since they like to play the Chrome dino game when the school firewall blocks their attempts at playing Minecraft during study hall…

I live in Northern Thailand, where monsoon-season sunsets often turn the sky and mountains various shades of blue. The icon is inspired by those evenings.

StormChaser is a tiny retro weather game built into FeyCast. I added it after testing the app in rural South Australia, losing cell service, and realizing a weather app should still be useful when you are offline. FeyCast now keeps recent data available without a connection, and StormChaser gives you something fun to play when you are waiting, traveling, or off the grid.

Update speed depends on the source: U.S. radar refreshes as often as every 2 minutes, most other countries every 5–10 minutes, with a few hours of history so you can scrub back and watch a storm develop. When available, FeyCast pulls directly from each country’s own meteorological service rather than a single global blend, so you’re seeing the same data their forecasters do.

Data is only as accurate as its source. If something looks wrong, please let me know. I can often improve it by using a different source or filtering out misleading stations. For example, a city might pull a temperature from a nearby weather station at a much higher elevation. The reading may be technically correct at that station, but wrong for someone in the city. I can filter out nearby stations at very different elevations to help prevent that.

Outside those 52 countries, FeyCast falls back to a global radar layer, so you’re never looking at a blank map. It’s not as sharp or as fast as the local feeds, which is exactly why I keep adding more countries to the list.

You don't. That's the point. FeyCast isn't another weather app; it replaces a whole collection of them. Live weather, world radar, satellite imagery, wind, tropical storms, tornadoes, earthquakes, wildfires, air quality, tides, satellite tracking, and weather history. Features that would otherwise mean a dozen separate downloads. Bought separately, premium apps covering all of this could cost you over $500 a year! FeyCast Premium is only $24.99 a year. One app, one subscription, one set of alerts.

Most weather apps show you one global radar blend and call it a day. FeyCast plugs directly into local meteorological services in 52 countries and counting for sharper, faster local radar, adds tools you won’t find anywhere else like CloudScan, speaks 59 languages out of the box, and provides an enormous amount of historical data.

Yes. The free version is a complete weather app, not a demo: current conditions, hourly and 10-day forecasts, full radar, 16 of 40 map layers, government severe weather alerts, and 5 saved locations. No annoying ads, ever. I’ve always been annoyed by weather apps that are clearly more focused on ad revenue than providing a quality user experience.

Seasonal Patterns: Free includes the full interactive sample. Premium includes your locations.

FeyCast Premium ($3.99/month or $24.99/year) adds the deep stuff: decades of weather history for any place on Earth, extreme records and personalized seasonal patterns for your locations, unlimited custom alerts, location comparison charts, and unlimited saved places. Eligible subscribers receive a 14-day free trial.

FeyCast is built by one person and funded only by Premium subscriptions. FeyCast does not sell or rent personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Weather data costs real money, and Premium is what pays for it. I simply want to provide a quality weather app user experience at an affordable price.

FeyCast is a native iOS app available on the App Store. An Android version is on the way to Google Play. Will look at working on an iPad version after that. That was grandma’s request so I can’t really say no!

FeyCast sends only the information needed for the requested feature. See the Privacy page for the details.
