Weather Guardian is a weather app built for the places forecasts usually miss. Clean, fast dashboards for key metrics, trends and history, without the fluff. With a mission to augment existing weather data with hyper-local data, powered by custom Weather Guardian hardware. I'm currently beta testing prototype sensors and hubs to build neighbourhood-level accuracy over time.
Weather Guardian is a modern weather app built around one simple idea: having a simple way to see current and upcoming weather and to create custom alerts to trigger based on conditions you're interested in monitoring.
Right now, Weather Guardian focuses on a clean, fast dashboard that makes it easy to track key conditions like temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, chance of rain and snow - and allows you to set custom alerts for conditions, such as "alert me when the temperature in my area is forecast to drop below 5c in the next 3 days."
But the real mission is what's coming next: hyper-local data and (and in future, forecasting) powered by our own custom weather hardware.
I'm currently in beta testing with the first wave of prototype sensors and hubs. The goal is to build a network of compact devices that can capture conditions at neighbourhood scale, the kind of detail traditional weather stations often miss because they’re too far apart (and sometimes not placed in ways that represent your exact location). Over time, that denser layer of observations will help Weather Guardian deliver forecasts that feel genuinely local, especially in areas where weather can change rapidly over short distances (valleys, coastal spots, urban heat islands, and anywhere that seems “weirdly different” to the forecast).
In addition to this, the web platform allows you to manage your sensors, export data either via our API's (for integrations with your own projects), or simple CSV downloads. You can also set up webhooks to trigger and de-trigger on various conditions as monitored by your hardware - allowing you to make intelligent and reactive services - for example, turning on a heater in a greenhouse if the temperature drops too low and switching it back off again when it recovers.
Also being investigated is additional third-party integrations, and integrations with home assistants - with a goal of being making the data easy to access and use and being developer friendly.
It's still early, moving fast, and refining both the hardware and the app as I test in the real world.
Congratulations on the launch! Such an app is always needed. Wanted to know are there any specific locations you're targeting first? or can it work worldwide?
@maryam_khalid3 The app as a whole can handle worldwide. The hardware trial is for the UK only at the moment (the hyper-local reporting of readings etc) - simply because that's where I'm based. But there's nothing about the design that would prevent the hardware from being used in any country, so I'll be hoping to get some devices out around the world too!
