Precipitate is a weather app that presents the forecast data in a series of charts to make viewing a whole days weather quick and intuitive. The application will save the latest forecast on your device for up to one hour, so a recently-acquired forecast can be reviewed again without an internet connection, such as when underground.
Weather data is visible in three sets of charts: 12-hour, 48-hour, and 7-day.
The 12-hour and 48-hour data points are:
• Actual Temperature
• Apparent Temperature
• Precipitation Probably
• Rainfall (including liquid volume of snow)
• Snowfall
• Wind Speed
• Cloud Cover
• Visibility
• Ozone
• Humidity
• Dew Point
• Pressure
The 7-day data points are:
• Min Actual Temperature
• Max Actual Temperature
• Min Apparent Temperature
• Max Apparent Temperature
• Precipitation Probability
• Rainfall (including liquid volume of snow)
• Max Precipitation Intensity
• Wind Speed
• Cloud Cover
• Visibility
• Ozone
• Humidity
• Dew Point
• Pressure
Precipitate is powered by the Forecast.io API
There are four options for units of measure defined by the Forecast API:
System — Units
US — ℉, in, in/hr, mi, mph, mbar
SI — ℃, cm, mm/hr, KM, m/s, hPa
UK — ℃, cm, mm/hr, mi, mph, hPa
CA — ℃, cm, mm/hr, KM, kph, hPa
And 27 language options provided by the API, **which will only affect the summary label at the top of the screen**:
• Arabic (ar)
• Bosnian (bs)
• Chinese, Simplified (zh)
• Chinese, Traditional (zh-tw)
