Hi All,
Hope you're having a great Sunday.
Just stopping by to say that 4.2.1 is now available.
There are a number of changes but the two significant changes are.
Weather Station Widget
You can have your own weather station on your iPhone or iPad, with the iPad supporting the extra large widget size, meaning a really comprehensive weather station.
Hi
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
Just a quick note to say that 4.3.0 is now on the App Store and the main focus has been on fixing compatibility issues for iOS17 and watchOS10.
This means that all the small Home Screen widgets are Standby optimised and the modular style watch complications work with the new watchOS10 widget stack.
I also fixed lots of small bugs and layout issues with the widgets, complications and watch app.
Hi everybody,
Weather Gods 4.4.0 is now available with the following new features and bug fixes.
Premium Subscribers
Worldwide Lightning notifications.
The notification includes the number of strikes, the distance of the closest strike to you and the bearing.
Worldwide Lightning Data
The app also has a lightning section in the severe weather centre. This lists strikes, the time of the strike, the distance and bearing. There is also a summary if you don't want to jump into the list.

Hi All,
Hope everyone is okay and the weather is being kind.
The Weather Gods 4.6.0 release is now out with lots of new features.
Tides: Global tide times, tide heights, tide station map, and detailed tide charts.
Storm Threats: These are now available for anywhere in the world. They provide detailed information about approaching storms, including tornado potential, rotation, intensity, hail size, and lightning counts.
Hi,
Hope everyone is well and the weather is being kind.
I'm just catching up with Weather Gods releases in case people missed the recent updates on the App Store.
4.7 was released with the following features
Hi,
Just a quick message to say Weather Gods 4.8.0 has been released.
It includes USA Weather Radio and the Tropical Cyclone Products for each storm where available.
Weather Radio is part of Premium subscription and available to grandfathered users.
All feedback welcome, especially on the weather radio, I have already been asked to try and source Canadian Weather Radio which I will try and do.

Hi All,
Been a while!
New version out today with some interesting features.
1. Improvements to weather gods sounds with some new sound effects and a more appropriate set of sounds depending on time of day etc
2. The ability to "follow" and be notified about tropical storms as they form and become active in a particular storm basin e.g. all storms for the Atlantic, Eastern Pacific etc. This means you no longer need to start following a particular storm, instead you can be notified as soon as a new storm starts.
Hi all, hope you're having a good week!
Just letting everyone know that we've released a Weather Gods update featuring our new AI weather text capability.
This feature uses Weather Gods data to generate engaging, descriptive weather summaries. You can select different time periods (e.g., today, tomorrow, this week, next weekend, etc.) and customize the tone with a variety of personas—from a classic TV forecaster to snarky commentary or even a pirate-style forecast!
Hi All,
Just a quick post to say Weather Gods update is out with signification enhancements to the AI forecast text. Your favorite weather presenter will now talk about weather alerts, solar events, lunar events and any local tides. All whilst making the forecast relevant to your location and advising on what to wear!
We have also made some improvements to Weather Gods on the Mac for Voiceover.
Have a good weekend and I hope you enjoy the update!

On the main weather gods screen where it shows the weather conditions for my city plus the next few days, as I'm swiping down I see something that sounds like it should be the word altitude but voiceover mispronounces it. Anyway the number that's given for this changes quite often so I'm wondering what this is?
Hi All,
I have an announcement regarding an upcoming change to Weather Gods.
In summary, we will be switching Weather Gods to a subscription model, with a probable price point of $1.49 per quarter or $3.99 per annum.
This does not affect any existing customers, and they will continue to receive all updates and new features free of charge.
Hi All,
Weather Gods now has a weather bot on Facebook messenger. He is currently undergoing training so there will be some teething troubles.
I'm hoping the AppleVis community would be kind enough to take him for a test drive ?
To access the bot:
Hi All,
I hope this is ok to post here.
I just wanted to say that we are having some severe problems with our data service provider, IBM. We switched account types today and clearly something has gone badly wrong - we have been planning this since December and IBM assured us that there would be no impact to service!!
Unfortunately, it seems to be one of those problems where everything is flagged green but the service just isn't working as expected. We have a severity 1 issue raised with them and it is being escalated through other channels now.
Hi Scott from Weather Gods and everyone else,
Since this morning, July 27th, I have been receiving duplicate notifications again. Not really a problem. Better too many notifications about approaching thunderstorms than too few.
Has anyone else gotten two for the price of one?
Hi All,
We are just starting work on Weather Gods Siri integration and looking for beta testers who are currently running iOS12?
If anyone would like to help out then we would be very grateful.
Please email us [email protected] if you would like to participate.
Thanks
Scott
Hi,
I've had a few people email me for help setting up the WG Lock Screen widgets so I thought I would share what works for me - there might be other VO shortcuts I don't know about.
This is what works for me
Hi All,
We are in the process of re-working the Weather Gods sounds, adding more etc etc. We also hope to have a separate high quality downloadable set as well (from the App Store).
We are looking for help with the night time sounds. In particular any ideas that might indicate a night sound ... for example we've thought about the occasional hoot from an owl and we already have our starry wind chimes.
Anyone got any more please?
Hi,
Hope everyone is well.
IBM will be terminating our services and notifications at the end of June.
I have already re-written our server software and moved it from IBM to Amazon AWS.
The next stage will be to switch to a new notification provider and drop IBM completely.
Weather Gods 3.6 was recently released and it includes the 1st part of the transition.
I highly recommend that people update to 3.6 as soon as practical as the next update will switch away from IBM completely.
Thanks
Scott
Hello
On my iPhone 8+ running IOS 13.2.3 I recently purchased and installed Weather Gods. Great app. Only 1 issue. I set daily summery notification to arrives daily at 6 AM. When the summery notification arrives though, I only hear VoiceOver replies: "Screen kertain off. Screen Kertain on." Swiping left and right does not solve the issue. Please assist if possible?
Hi Everybody,
Sorry to report that we seem to be back with gremlins in our notification system. I have finished checking our side and am now convinced the problem is with IBM. The problem manifests itself with duplicates.
I have raised a severity 2 ticket but unfortunately these things take time to track down and fix.
Apologies for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
Scott
