Hyperlocal Weather
Custom weather notifications for your exact spot
Most weather apps decide for you what deserves a ping. Hyperlocal Weather flips that: you pick the alerts — rain starting or stopping in the next hour, severe weather, lightning nearby, air-quality changes, a daily forecast summary — and every single one has its own on/off switch. Pinned to your precise location, not the whole city. Free on iPhone & Android, worldwide.
Five alert types, five switches
Know when rain starts and stops
The minute-by-minute engine that powers the next-hour forecast also powers your notifications. Get pinged before rain reaches your coordinates — and again when a break is coming, so you can time the dog walk or the dash to the car.
- Rain-start warnings before the first drops hit your spot.
- Rain-stop alerts like "stopping in 55 min" — plan around the gap.
- Your coordinates, not your city — a shower two suburbs over stays silent.
Severe weather, lightning & air quality
Notifications aren't only about precipitation. Switch on severe-weather alerts for dangerous conditions, get warned when lightning strikes near you, and hear about it when the air quality at your location shifts — useful for runners, cyclists and sensitive groups.
- Severe-weather notifications when dangerous conditions threaten your area.
- Lightning nearby — a warning when strikes land close to you.
- Air-quality changes, backed by AQI data with health guidance for sensitive groups.
Every alert has its own switch
Notification fatigue kills the point of alerts. That's why nothing here is bundled: each alert type is toggled individually. Want only lightning warnings and a morning summary? Done. Rain alerts but silence on everything else? Also done.
- Individual on/off toggles — enable exactly the alerts you want, no bundles.
- Daily forecast summary as a single quiet briefing instead of all-day pings.
- Change your mix any time — flip a switch and the alert is gone or back.
A weather notification app that travels with you
Your custom weather alerts follow you across borders. The same notification engine works on iPhone and Android in the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the Nordics, Japan, Singapore, Australia and beyond — fed by Foreca, Apple WeatherKit and real weather-station observations.
What makes custom weather notifications different?
A typical weather alerts app blasts the same county-wide bulletins to everyone and offers one master notification switch: all or nothing. Custom weather notifications work the other way round. You start from silence and opt in to precisely the events you care about — rain about to start at your location, a storm cell turning severe, lightning within range, an air-quality dip, or a once-a-day forecast digest. The result is a phone that only buzzes when the buzz is worth it.
Hyper-local, not city-wide
Every alert Hyperlocal Weather sends is computed for your exact coordinates. A city-wide rain warning is nearly useless when showers are patchy; a hyper-local one tells you whether your street is about to get wet. The same precision applies to lightning tracking, which warns you about strikes near you rather than anywhere in the region.
Built from real data, not guesswork
Notifications are only as good as the forecast behind them. Hyperlocal Weather blends Foreca, Apple WeatherKit and real weather-station observations, and the same engine drives the app's rain alerts and 15-minute forecast. Popular alert setups include:
- Commuters — rain-start plus rain-stop alerts to time the walk to the station.
- Parents — severe-weather and lightning warnings before school pickup and outdoor play.
- Runners and cyclists — air-quality changes plus next-hour rain, nothing else.
- Minimalists — a single daily forecast summary and total silence otherwise.
Whatever your mix, it takes seconds to set up — and one flipped switch to change.
Notification questions
What weather notifications can I customise?
Hyperlocal Weather lets you choose from next-hour rain start and stop alerts, severe-weather notifications, lightning-nearby warnings, air-quality change alerts and a daily forecast summary. Every alert type has its own individual on/off switch, so you build exactly the mix you want.
Are the notifications specific to my exact location?
Yes. Alerts are hyper-local: they are computed for your precise coordinates rather than a city-wide zone, so you are notified when rain or lightning is about to reach your spot — not when something happens on the other side of town.
Do custom weather alerts work on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. Hyperlocal Weather is free on both iPhone and Android, with the same customisable notification types on each platform, and the Android app includes Wear OS support. A separate standalone Apple Watch app is also available as a paid download.
Do the notifications work outside the United States?
Yes. Custom weather notifications work worldwide — including the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the Nordics, Japan, Singapore and Australia — powered by Foreca, Apple WeatherKit and real weather-station observations.
