The app is Clime Pro on iOS, they lock full access to Hurricane Milton data behind a $10 USD per week paywall.
If you’re in the area impacted by Milton, you can find publicly available resources at the National Hurricane Center’s website: National Hurricane Center
Ah, demanding you to pay or die. Isn't capitalism grand?
It's like my Canadian colleagues complaining that they can't find any info about big weather events on Facebook and I'm like "You realize your taxes pay for info available to all?"
but do the taxes pay for it in a form they can parse and use (minion memes)?
Sure does as there's apps for everything these days!
Mike's Weather Page is a hobbyist page that aggregates a ton of info.
That site is an absolute mess!
The future of NOAA if trump gets elected
The NOAA has no future if Trump gets elected.
Why you’d get any weather information from anyone but Frankie MacDonald, with his very own weather station, is beyond me
"Get the fuck out of Florida" -free
and then its very very hard to find a free alterntive that shows you the same info
There is nothing more tech-bro libertarian than taking free public data, wrapping it in a slick package, and selling it.
I used to think that TV weather people were obsolete, but now I'm nostalgic for the public service that survived in the old capitalistic ad based broadcast TV era.
Even AccuWeather is saying they're going too far now.
They realize they need that government data too.
AccuWeather's business model relies on "adding value" to government-provided data, and monetizing it. Maintaining a fleet of satellites isn't cheap.
Project 2025 wants to disband NOAA and give its functions to Accuweather instead, directing taxpayer funding to a private company while also locking all weather data behind a paywall, so they get paid twice to provide the same info NOAA currently provides with a single payment (taxpayer funding). The Accuweather founder, Joel Myers, and his brother, Billy Lee Myers (unsuccessfully nominated by Trump to be the head of NOAA), are major Republican donors, but I’m sure that is completely coincidental.
Holy fucking shit, Accuweather?! TIL
Catch me dodging that site from now on
Weather.gov had the front page downgraded during the Trump administration.
However, if you take a second and put in your ZIP Code and poke around some, it is really freaking good.
And it’s free.
Aww man, that was my go-to weather app. Anybody have FOSS suggestions for android?
I don’t know about apps, but they ultimately all get it from the National Weather Service. Since it’s a government service, the website is totally free of ads and other garbage. Just use that. Weather.gov. You can search for your home, and since it uses absolute URLs, you can then bookmark the results page and just go straight to that every time.
Weather.gov
Breezy on F-Droid, maybe Google Play, is pretty nice.
Throwing it out there, but https://www.nhc.noaa.gov is hands down the best hurricane tracking site. It’s low Bandwidth, quick, lightweight, legit data backed, and generally the source data for most other weather sites.
noaa do be fuckin
It's shitfunny because this is a perfect opportunity for apps like this to play into Capitalism and succeed twentyfold.
Open up the app to everyone for free during the hurricane, remove that after hurricane. So many people will go:
So many opportunities for longer-term profits missed by idiocy.
You have way more faith in people's attention span than I
but think about how many people will pay now to not have ads on their life saving information.
During a hurricane is the only time people ever use these apps
What data does this app have that isn't freely available somewhere else?
Yep. Hurricane info is available from official sources for free.
However, I can’t help but imagine some tiktok of someone finding themselves trapped on a rooftop crying because their preferred app wouldn’t show some critical info.
For anyone who doesn’t know where here’s NOAA. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at4+shtml/093335.shtml?cone They’re who does America’s atmospheric and oceanic measurements, everyone selling it gets it from them
I'm pretty sure somebody who died because they didn't made sure to check freely available information beforehand given the very loud and widespread advanced notices that "serious shit might be coming your way" counts as Natural Selection.
Probably. Willful ignorance.
