Something I miss from Dark Sky that Apple inexplicably dropped failed to include in its Weather app: the ability to visualize changing temperatures across a region.

The radar map allows you to scroll forward in time, but not the temperature map.

Anyone have suggestions for apps/sites that offer that view?

Checkout Saildrone, it allows you to do that, and the visualizations are very responsive/fluid.

Thanks.

This has to be, by far, the most detailed “look at our cool app” page I’ve seen that doesn’t actually include a download link, or indeed any description at all of how to find it.

windy.com is a good one for that.

Thanks!

Update: neither their site nor their app allow scrubbing. Boo.

Yeah, they do actually. There's a bar at the bottom with the time on it.

I can only crudely move it via touch, seems like it will allow me to tap on a day. I can’t slide it back and forth.

I used to go to windy.com as an alternative to weather.gov but they are moving in the direction of subscriptions. Currently they allow a couple weeks forecast. No idea if they will shorten that to a week to get more subs.
