What is Big Weather?

Big Weather puts the weather in your Mac's menu bar. The temperature is always in view; one click opens the forecast for where you are, or anywhere in the world, with the days ahead as one curve of temperature and rain you can scrub through.

With Premium, your Mac writes a few words about the weather in the menu bar ("Heavy rain from 4PM") and a short rundown of the week, using Apple Intelligence. Official weather warnings appear word for word from the issuing agency.

Free for everyone:

  • Current temperature, wind speed and gusts, pressure and humidity
  • Hourly temperature and rain for the next 48 hours
  • 3-day forecast
  • UV for the next two days, shown in the menu bar when it's high
  • Today's high and low, and when they happen
  • No ads, no account

Premium (monthly or yearly subscription with a free trial, or a one-time purchase):

  • Weather data from Apple Weather, hourly and daily, 10 days ahead
  • AI insights, written on your Mac by Apple Intelligence: a few words about your day in the menu bar and a short rundown of the week. In English, German and French. Requires macOS 27 and a Mac with Apple Intelligence. Your location is never sent to an AI service.
  • Official weather warnings, word for word: in the panel, on each day they touch, and in the menu bar. US, Canada, Mexico and Europe (MeteoAlarm).
  • More frequent updates

Customize it:

  • Keyboard shortcut to open and close the panel
  • Celsius, Fahrenheit or both; your choice of units for rain, wind and pressure
  • Chart or text layout
  • Light, dark or automatic appearance; translucent or opaque panel
  • In English, German and French

Weather data: WeatherAPI.com (free), Apple Weather (Premium). Requires macOS 15.2 or later.
