What The Forecast?!!

What The Forecast?!! has one genuinely clever idea: replace bland weather summaries with snarky, often profane commentary pulled from a library of over 12,000 phrases. Byzantine Apps built this around real AerisWeather data, so the snark is not covering up bad forecasts. The result is a utility that actually delivers 10-day and hourly forecasts, NOAA alerts, and next-hour precipitation data, all wrapped in a personality that most weather apps are too corporate to attempt. It won a 2018 Webby for good reason.

The Joke Holds Up Longer Than You'd Expect

With 12,607 phrases in the bank, the commentary stays fresh well past the first week. The four-tier profanity toggle, ranging from fully off to fully on, means it works on a work phone or a personal one equally well. The text-to-speech option, letting you hear the current conditions read aloud in different voices, is a small touch that adds replay value without feeling forced.

Underneath the Attitude, a Solid Forecast Engine

AerisWeather powers the data layer here, and it shows. Hourly forecasts stretch 48 hours out, the 10-day daily view is standard but reliable, and NOAA alerts surface directly in the app. Configurable hot, cold, and dew point thresholds give weather-sensitive users a practical reason to keep this as a primary app rather than a novelty they check once a month.

Where It Asks for Patience

At 343 MB the app is heavy for what is essentially a weather utility, and in-app purchases are listed without detail in the store facts, so the ceiling on the free experience is unclear before you download. The humor is the whole pitch, meaning anyone who finds the tone grating after a few days has no neutral mode to fall back on, unlike apps that lead with maps or radar.
