Ubuntu Weather - South Africa

Ubuntu Weather is SA weather done properly: an app built for South African weather, from Highveld thunderstorms to Cape fronts and Durban humidity.

SAWS severe weather warnings. Lightning alerts the moment EUMETSAT detects a strike near you. A storm tracker with live lightning and rain that shows where thunderstorms are heading. Live wind, swell and satellite maps. Hourly and 14-day forecasts, a morning briefing, coastal tides, a moon page, sport fixtures with the weather at each venue, and solar forecasts for your panels. And the only weather app with a Braai Gauge™.

WHY UBUNTU WEATHER
Most weather apps don't know about SAWS warnings, can't push lightning alerts when a Highveld storm rolls in, and won't show which way a storm is heading. Ubuntu Weather does — plus the wind and swell across the country, your solar production, whether Saturday is braai weather, and the weather at the venue for the afternoon's rugby.
