WeatherDiff

📲 Install iOS Shortcut

Know if today is warmer or colder than yesterday — at a glance.


The Problem

When you check the weather and see "18°C", your brain has to work:

  • What does that actually mean?
  • Is that warm? Cold?
  • What should I wear?

The Solution

WeatherDiff shows temperature as a difference from yesterday:

+5° warmer than yesterday
High: -3° colder
☔ Rain likely (65%)

When you know it's colder than yesterday, you instantly remember what you wore and adjust accordingly. No mental math required.

How It Works

  1. Fetches feels-like temperature from Open-Meteo (free, no API key)
  2. Compares current hour to the same time yesterday
  3. Shows the difference with rain probability

Setup

  1. Install the Shortcut
  2. Run it manually, or set up a morning automation:
    • Shortcuts → Automations → Time of Day → 7:00 AM
    • Run Shortcut → WeatherDiff
    • Toggle OFF "Ask Before Running"

Status

🧪 POC Phase — Validating the concept before building an iOS app with widgets.

Background

Google's weather app used to have this feature — showing "5° colder than yesterday" — but quietly removed it years ago. No current weather app focuses on relative temperature. WeatherDiff fills that gap.
