Why use-case matters
The same forecast can be presented in very different ways depending on the job to be done. A hiker wants summit cloud timing. A sailor cares about wind shifts and offshore locations. A pilot needs cloud cover, wind, and lightning visibility before a go or no-go call. These guides focus on those actual workflows.
Weathercaster is especially strong when you need to inspect transitions: when rain starts, when it clears, when clouds thicken, and when wind rises. The chart format makes those transition points visible immediately.
These use-case pages cover
- Exact forecast timing rather than daily summaries.
- Custom location workflows for trailheads, summits, offshore points, and route decisions.
- Apple Watch and offline use where quick field checks matter.
- Which Weathercaster features are most relevant to each activity.
