The other cards ​

Below the Now card are the cards you've chosen. They're all on to start with, in this order. Turn them off, or drag them into a different order, in Settings → Cards. To hide one quickly, press and hold it and choose Hide this card.

The Laundry card has its own page.

Next few hours ​

The Next few hours card with hourly columns

A strip you can swipe sideways, with the next 12 hours: Now, then each hour. Every column shows:

  • a picture of the weather,
  • the temperature,
  • a bar for the chance of rain. The fuller the bar, the likelier the rain.

An amber T-shirt marks the hours in today's best drying window. It only appears when your Home and where you are are about the same place (within 2 km), or you haven't set a Home.

Getting outside ​

Is now a good time for a walk? Pick what you're doing at the top of the card: Walk, Dog Walk or Run. Your choice is remembered, and the widgets use it too.

The card gives a verdict, such as Good time for a walk., and short reasons when it isn't perfect:

Raining · Rain likely · Might rain · Gusty · Freezing, watch for ice · Hot · Dark · Strong sun

If now isn't great, it looks up to 6 hours ahead for something better: Not great for a walk right now. Better from 11am.

A few things worth knowing:

  • Cold doesn't count against a walk. The Now card already tells you what to wear.
  • Dog walks ignore the dark. The dog needs to go out either way.
  • Runs are stricter about heat (it starts to count above 18°, rather than 24°) and about ice.

If you hide this card, its one-line verdict moves onto the Now card so you don't lose it.

Outdoor jobs ​

When can you get the garden done? This card checks four jobs against your Home's forecast (or where you are, without a Home):

JobWhat it looks for
GardeningAt least 2 dry daylight hours, not too cold or hot, not too windy
Washing the carA dry spell, and no rain for 24 hours afterwards
MowingA dry spell, after 6 hours without rain so the grass is dry
BBQA dry evening between 5pm and 9pm, at least 14°, not too breezy

Each job gets a line such as Today, 9am–3pm, Now until 4pm, Tomorrow from 10am, or Not today or tomorrow (grass too wet).

Tomorrow ​

A look ahead, for planning:

  • A headline for the day, from A bright day tomorrow. through Mostly sunny tomorrow., A decent day tomorrow. and A grey day tomorrow. to A wet, dull day tomorrow.
  • The range and the light: 5° to 12°. Sunrise 7:21am, sunset 4:12pm.
  • What to wear tomorrow morning: Tomorrow morning: coat and umbrella.
  • Tomorrow's laundry, unless the Laundry card is already talking about tomorrow.

How the headline is scored is in How the advice works.
