Know exactly how to dress, plan, and protect your day.
Solcast is a free weather app that goes beyond the forecast. It tells you what to wear, when to bring an umbrella, and how to keep your family comfortable — all personalized to your life and delivered in plain language.
No ads. No subscriptions. No accounts. Just open and go.
What makes Solcast different
- Answers, not numbers. Instead of decoding humidity percentages and UV indices yourself, Solcast gives you clear action items: “Apply SPF 50 before lunch,” “Pack rain gear for the kids,” or “Walk your dog after sunset when pavement cools.”
- Personalized to how you live. Dial in your sensitivities, dressing style, and household (kids, pets, cars) and every recommendation adapts instantly. The advice a migraine-prone parent sees is different from what an outdoor runner sees.
- Stays ahead of your day. Solcast detects when weather shifts between morning, afternoon, and evening — so you’ll know to bring a layer for later or leave the umbrella at home after noon.
- 100% private. Everything is computed on your device. No sign-up, no tracking, no data collection. Your location is used only to fetch weather and is never stored.
