Intent

I need it when

Customize weather display to personal preferences and workflow

App supports keyboard shortcuts for quick access, temperature unit selection (Celsius/Fahrenheit/both), high UV warnings in menu bar, translucent/opaque window modes, graphic and textual layouts, and dark/light mode support.

Use a lightweight, native weather app optimized for Apple Silicon Macs

Big Weather is Apple Silicon native with a 4.2 MB footprint, requires macOS 15.0 or later, and is designed specifically for macOS menu bar integration with minimal system resource usage.

View comprehensive weather metrics like UV index, wind speed, atmospheric pressure, and humidity in one place

Big Weather displays UV, wind speed, wind gust, atmospheric pressure, and humidity alongside temperature and rainfall. Premium users get more frequent data updates and Apple Weather as the primary data source.

Monitor weather at a glance from the macOS menu bar without opening a full application

Big Weather displays current weather, hourly temperature, and rainfall directly in the menu bar with a clean graphic interface. Users can click the menu bar icon to open a detailed window with forecasts and metrics, then close it easily with a keyboard shortcut.

Access extended weather forecasts including hourly data for multiple days ahead

Premium tier provides hourly temperature and rainfall forecasts up to 10 days in advance, plus 7-day daily and hourly charts. Free tier includes 48-hour hourly data and 3-day daily forecast.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires a weather app for non-macOS platforms (Big Weather is macOS-only)
  • User needs advanced severe weather alerts or extreme weather warnings beyond basic UV alerts
  • User requires window resizing or custom UI color customization (app has fixed layout and styling)
  • User needs a standalone weather app rather than a menu bar widget
  • User requires integration with third-party weather services beyond Apple Weather and WeatherAPI
