Week #3101 June 2015

There are many weather apps out there, and I often felt like seeing something different by taking a different approach. So, I designed a weather app this week. It's a little different; it's humanized. The app is designed to tell users essential weather information only and make suggestions throughout the day.

If it was going to be rainy, we would generally interpret the weather info given and plan what we'd need to do, like taking an umbrella or perhaps a jacket if it's cold. The basic concept of this app is based on this process; the app helps users skip the 'interpretation' and 'planning' part by telling them what's happening and recommending what to do.

I understand that there's an app like Swackett, which suggests what to wear. But I wanted to go a little further and make it smarter, more humorous, and kinder. If it's sunny, it suggests taking a walk to recharge with vitamin D; if a storm is coming soon, it suggests staying inside beforehand, and so on.

You can also view generic weather info in an integrated timeline style throughout the app.

A quick mock-up for Apple Watch. It's a tad small screen, so I kept it simple and focused on what really matters the most.
