Mercury Weather 2.8

Released on iOS and macOS on Nov 6th, 2024

Notifications: Weather notifications are finally here! We have all the basics, like super precise minute-by-minute rain and snow notifications, and notifications for severe weather warnings. We also added a bunch of neat touches. Mercury will send follow-up notifications if the precipitation forecast changes and will look ahead to estimate whether it’s a short shower or rain for the rest of the day.
Large Widget: Can't decide between the hourly, the daily, and the interactive hourly/daily widget but have Home Screen widget space to spare? Perfect! Our new large widget shows you the current conditions, rain (if it is expected), the hourly forecast (including bonus data points), and, of course, the daily forecast (including Trip Forecast).

Mercury Weather 2.7

Released on iOS and macOS on Sep 15th, 2024

iOS 18, iPadOS 18 & watchOS 11: Apart from the new dynamic app icons, we also brought the interactive widget to the Lock Screen and your watch face. With the new complication and widget, you can switch between the hourly and daily forecasts by tapping the forecast. We also added the brand new widget group with temperature, UV, and humidity to the Smart Stack. As part of the update, we also improved a lot of the chart interactions; gestures trigger faster and give better haptic feedback.
New Complications: We also added a bunch of complications that have been requested for a while (finally!). AQI, UVI, and Humidity are all available now (even if you're not ready to update to watchOS 11 just yet).
Other recent additions: This update, of course, also includes the recent features we released, like air quality, extra hourly details (when tapping and holding on an hour in the hourly forecast), and hourly chart customizations.

Mercury Weather 2.5

Released on iOS and macOS on Aug 7th, 2024

Extra Hourly Data: You can now see the precipitation amount right in the hourly chart. And if that’s not enough, you can also add UV or wind & gust as well. On top of that, you can also tap and hold any hour and see all the essential details in a neat new details bubble.
New Data Provider: We added a new weather data provider. Welcome Foreca! Foreca is consistently one of the best-performing weather data providers in the world, and now they’re an option in Mercury. In fact, they’re the default dynamic option for most locations worldwide (even for free users). But premium users can still pick their favorite one in settings, of course.
New Widget: Do you remember the extra hourly data from two paragraphs ago? All that data is also available in a new widget.
Better Weather Warnings: Weather warnings got some love, too. Weather warnings in the main card are now prioritized by severity, and expired warnings get de-prioritized immediately. The weather warning list also shows relative dates next to the warnings. No more pesky mental time and date math!
Polish & Tweaks: We also polished things throughout the app, like new temperature animations, better organized settings, better subscription management, improved gestures, and a bunch more.

Mercury Weather 2.0

Release Date: August 30th, 2023

What's New?

Mercury 2.0 introduces Trip Forecast! This one’s been in the making for a while, and we’re so excited to finally release it.

Trip Forecast lets users enter their upcoming trips in Mercury. Once the trip is coming up, the weather at the destination will automatically show as part of the daily forecast timeline.

As part of this update, we’ve also added our first batch of custom app icons, added more weather details to the daily forecast, and improved a bunch of other things!

Some Background

Trip Forecast is a feature that started (like so many) with the question, "How hard could it be?". With a trip coming up, we thought it was kind of silly that our daily forecast showed the weather for where we were right then rather than where we'd be during our trip. The plan was to quickly build the feature in a week or two… Fast forward a "brief" six months, and here we are, finally ready to ship it.

The feature evolved quite a lot as we used the prototype builds over the months. We're now supporting multi-day and multi-leg trips (even for trips that cross time zones and date boundaries), as well as day trips, including special behavior for arriving at a destination early, leaving late, or skipping a trip altogether.
