About The Weather Recap
The Weather Recap — What actually happened yesterday Most weather apps focus on what might happen. The Weather Recap shows what actually happened yesterday, how conditions have changed over time, and how forecasts compared to reality. Explore past weather, recent conditions, and forecast performance in one place — with clear charts, tables, and summaries that help you put today’s forecast into context. Overview: View the past seven completed days alongside today and the next seven forecasted days. Actual conditions and predictions are clearly labeled, making it easy to understand recent weather patterns at a glance. Daily charts and tables include temperature highs and lows, wind, precipitation, and snow. Each location also includes a daily synopsis explaining how yesterday compared to recent days — whether it was warmer, cooler, windier, wetter, or snowier than usual. Accuracy: Compare forecasts to actual outcomes for recent completed days. Review forecast performance for temperature, wind, precipitation, and snow, and see how forecasts performed when issued: 24 hours ahead; 72 hours ahead; 20 hours ahead. Only fully completed days are included to ensure meaningful comparisons. Each location receives an Accuracy Score (0–100) based on recent temperature and wind performance. Data + trust: The Weather Recap uses data from Open-Meteo and ECMWF-based global weather models. Forecasts are snapshot daily so accuracy comparisons remain consistent and transparent over time. Privacy + simplicity: No accounts required. Locations are stored on-device. No personal data is collected or sold.
