The summer is in full swing and so the new version of Weather on the Way 1.11 adds summer oriented features to help take full advantage of the weather while avoiding dangerous storms. The new version introduces animated future weather radar and new modes for cycling and hiking, providing users with even more precise and comprehensive weather information

Animated Future Radar

While most weather apps only offer a historical radar animation, Weather on the Way focuses on what's ahead. Extending the live radar which shows current precipitation, it now visualizes predictions from NOAA's weather models, showing storm patterns and how they are expected to evolve during travel. High fidelity prediction is available for continental US and parts of Canada for the first 48h, with standard forecast available world wide for up to 7 days. The predicted radar helps users anticipate changes in weather, allowing for safer and more informed travel decisions.

New Cycling and Hiking Modes

With outdoor sports being especially weather critical, Weather on the Way 1.11 now includes dedicated modes for cycling and hiking. These modes provide weather forecasts and alerts, taking into account the speeds and routing for these activities. Whether tackling challenging terrains or enjoying a leisurely ride, users can rely on accurate weather predictions to plan their adventures safely and efficiently.

Daylight and UV Index Map

Monitoring UV Index is especially important with record settings heat waves, so the new UV map mode will be especially helpful during summer travel.


"Future radar has been one of the most requested features” said Piotr Knapczyk, the developer of Weather on the Way. “By combining weather forecast models with machine learning techniques, the predicted radar helps users intuitively understand the risk of encountering a storm on the road. The addition of the cycling and hiking will help more users plan their summer adventures, especially as these activities depend on having a good weather.”

Availability

Weather on the Way 1.11 is available for download now on App Store. Existing users can update to the latest version to take advantage of the new features.
