Sensecast is the weather app that tells you why, not just what. Every number in the forecast has an explanation—tap the info button on any value to get a plain-language sensation analogy first, the safety scale second, and the physics third.
Your location is routed to the agency that actually models your terrain: NOAA/NWS across the US, MET Norway, HKO for typhoons, Météo-France's 1.3 km AROME grid. 15 sources free, 18 total. A 20-topic weather academy lives inside the app, and live hazards sit beneath the forecast: tornado touchdowns, county-level power outages, earthquake, wildfire, and tropical cyclone trackers, plus a weather risk score.
Free, no account, no ads. Pro ($2.99/mo, $23.99/yr with a 3-day trial, or $99.99 lifetime) adds pressure-drop migraine alerts and storm verification reports with a checkable reference ID. Live on Google Play; iOS, iPad and Mac in TestFlight beta. Fully localized in Spanish — the app follows your device language.
