From weather data to decisions

From weather data to decisions "72°F and partly cloudy" is data. It is not an answer to the question you actually asked. The question you actually asked was one of these: Should I spray the orchard today? Is tomorrow good for a long run? Will the wedding ceremony be comfortable outdoors at 4 PM? Is it safe to take the boat out Saturday morning? When is the golden-hour light going to be worth...

Building a weather app in Flutter + Rust

Building a weather app in Flutter + Rust DewLogic is a Flutter app on the outside and a Rust engine on the inside. The UI, state management, networking, and platform plumbing are all Dart / Flutter. The hot-path work (IDW blending, isopleth contour generation, model inference, asset management) is all Rust, called over FFI via flutter_rust_bridge v2. This post is about why, how, and the...

Forecasting snow and ice as contours, not icons

Forecasting snow and ice as contours, not icons Most weather apps tell you it's going to snow with a small snowflake icon and a number of inches. That's fine when you only care about your own address. It's almost useless when you care about a route, a region, or a point on a map that isn't where you are. The meteorology community has always visualized precipitation as isopleths: contour lines...

We run the AI on-device so your weather never leaves your phone

We run the AI on-device so your weather never leaves your phone A lot of apps have bolted on "AI weather insights" in the last year. Almost all of them work the same way: the app sends your location, your recent queries, and the weather context to an OpenAI or Anthropic endpoint, then prints what comes back. That's fine for a novelty. It's not fine for a tool you check every morning, in every...

Your backyard has better weather data than the airport

Your backyard has better weather data than the airport The official weather observation for my town comes from an airport 23 miles away, at an elevation 600 feet lower than my house, on the other side of a ridgeline. When it says "partly cloudy, 72°F," I have no idea whether that applies to me. Half the time, my yard is in fog while the airport is in sunshine. All winter, the airport sits above...

Why every weather app is giving you a different forecast

Why every weather app is giving you a different forecast Open three weather apps right now. The temperature will disagree. The rain chance will disagree. Tomorrow's high will disagree. This isn't a bug. It's a business decision. Every mainstream weather app picks one data source, usually whichever global model their provider happens to resell, and hands you that answer with confidence. Apple...
