Why this advice
You don't have to take Weather Buddy's word for it. Every card can explain itself, using the actual numbers from the forecast.

Opening it
- Tap the Why? button at the bottom of any card.
- Or tap the card itself. On the Now card, tapping a tile, the rain strip or a heads-up opens the explanation at that row, highlighted so you can find it.
The sheet opens halfway up the screen. Drag it up to read more, and tap Done to close it.
What it tells you
The explanation quotes the forecast and the rule the app used. For example:
The next 3 hours feel as cold as 7° at 10am. We suggest a coat when it feels colder than 11°.
There's a row for each thing on the card, and for the parts in between:
| Card | Sheet title | What's explained |
|---|---|---|
| Now | Why this advice | Each tile, each heads-up, and the dry and wet bar |
| Laundry | Why this laundry advice | The drying score out of 100, the best time, what to watch out for, and when drying stops |
| Getting outside | Why this walk advice (or dog walk, or run) | What's good or bad right now, and when it gets better |
| Outdoor jobs | Why these outdoor jobs | Each job's rule and why today does or doesn't fit |
At the bottom you'll see which forecast the advice came from, for example From the forecast updated 9:40am., and for laundry and jobs, which place: For Home (Bristol). or For where you are.
Same words in every vibe
The Why sheet is always written plainly, whichever vibe you've chosen.
Forecasts can be wrong
The advice leans cautious on purpose. If rain is a coin toss, Weather Buddy would rather you carried an umbrella you didn't need. The full set of rules is in How the advice works.
