Can an iPhone app make El Niño useful beyond weather headlines?
I’ve been building El Niño, a native iPhone app that turns live NOAA climate data into a clear view of what is happening across the tropical Pacific.
Instead of showing only an El Niño or La Niña label, the app explains the current signal, its strength and direction, confidence, key drivers and similar periods from the historical record. It is designed for people following climate, agriculture, energy, commodities and insurance who want to understand the evidence without digging through scientific reports and raw datasets.
The app does not present itself as an official forecast or warning. Its purpose is to make public climate data easier to explore and interpret.
When you look at El Niño or La Niña conditions, what would be most useful to you - the current signal, historical comparisons, possible regional impacts or a short shareable brief?
