Home Weather Station

Weather station, weather app, forecasts, & live radar — built for your home.

Home Weather Station turns any Android phone or tablet into a beautiful, always-on weather display for your own backyard. Pull live readings from your Weather Underground personal station, layer on NOAA forecasts and animated radar, and customize the home tiles to show exactly what you care about.

Built for the weather enthusiast who wants more than a generic city forecast, and designed to look great running 24/7 on a wall-mounted tablet, an old phone on a kitchen counter, or as a home screen widget on your daily driver.

TWO WAYS TO USE IT

NOAA Forecast Only. No personal station, no account. Enter a ZIP code or grant location access and get the full NOAA forecast for your spot: hourly, daily, alerts, and animated radar. Free, fast, and works anywhere in the United States.

Custom Station and API Key. Have a personal weather station reporting to Weather Underground? Enter your station ID and your Weather Underground API key, and the app pulls your live readings directly: temperature, humidity, wind, rainfall, pressure, and more. Your API key stays on your device.

DESIGNED FOR ALWAYS ON

Most weather apps assume you'll open them, glance, and close. Home Weather Station assumes the opposite. It is designed to live on your wall or counter, displaying your local weather 24/7 for weeks at a time. Memory aware refresh schedules, OLED burn in protection, and aggressive cleanup of background animations let it run on phones and tablets going back to Android 6.

"Burn-in mitigation reduces but cannot eliminate the risk on OLED/AMOLED displays"

PRIVACY

Location is optional and only used to fetch local forecasts. Your Weather Underground API key never leaves your device. Weather history stays in a local database on your phone. The app does not sell personal data and is not affiliated with NOAA, NWS, IBM, Weather Underground, or OpenStreetMap.
