Best Hour Weather

Best Hour Weather compares three trusted forecast models — Apple WeatherKit, Google Weather, and the U.S. National Weather Service — and blends them into one clear consensus. Instead of checking three apps, you get one view that shows where the models agree and where they differ, then tells you the best time to head outside.
BEST HOUR FOR ANY ACTIVITY

The app scores every hour of the day for 15 activities — running, golf, mowing, walking the dog, car washing, hiking, cycling, fishing, BBQ, soccer, beach, photography, gardening, tennis, and kayaking. Each has its own logic: golf penalizes wind and looks ahead for rain across a round, mowing checks for recent rain that leaves wet grass, car wash counts the dry hours you'll get afterward. Best windows are ranked with conditions at a glance — and scored on "feels like" temperature, not just the thermometer.
MAKE IT YOURS

Set your own limits for any activity — max temperature, wind, rain chance, time window, and how sensitive you are to air quality and pollen. The scoring respects them: if it's hotter or windier than you allow, it won't call it a great window.
THREE MODELS, ONE FORECAST

See Apple, Google, and NWS side by side — temperature, conditions, wind, and rain from each. A model‑agreement indicator shows how confident you can be today, and a forecast scorecard tracks which model has been most accurate at your location over time.
ANIMATED RADAR

Replay the last hour of NEXRAD radar on a smooth, full‑screen map with play, scrub, speed, and opacity controls.
AIR QUALITY & POLLEN

Check the current AQI and pollen index on the home screen, and tap either for a full breakdown — pollutant levels, pollen by type, a short outlook, and health tips.
MINUTE‑BY‑MINUTE RAIN

When rain is on the way, see exactly when it starts over the next hour.
HOURLY AND 7‑DAY CONSENSUS

The next 24 hours blend into one consensus timeline — temperature, rain chance, wind, and conditions hour by hour. The 7‑day forecast averages highs, lows, and rain chances across all three models.
DETAILED DAILY BREAKDOWNS

Tap any day for day‑vs‑night summaries, per‑model source data, sunrise/sunset, humidity, dew‑point comfort, UV index, and pressure.
SMART & SIMPLE

A plain‑language "today's verdict" at the top, optional alerts for rain starting soon and best‑window changes, a morning briefing, and your choice of °F/°C and mph/km·h.
