Understanding Your Forecast
This page opens on your local weather automatically by estimating your location from your IP address — no location permission prompt required. IP-based location is approximate; it typically identifies the city or metro area you're connecting from rather than your exact address, since IP addresses are assigned by internet providers at a regional level. If you want pinpoint accuracy, use the "Use precise location" button, which asks your browser for GPS-level positioning, or simply search for any city by name.
Current conditions update from live station and satellite-derived data, while the 5-day outlook is built from 3-hour forecast blocks — the high and low shown for each day reflect the warmest and coolest readings expected across that day's blocks, not a single snapshot.
Reading the Numbers
- Feels like: accounts for wind and humidity, and can differ noticeably from the air temperature.
- Humidity: higher humidity makes both hot and cold temperatures feel more extreme.
- Wind speed: shown in your selected unit's convention (km/h for metric, mph for imperial).
- Visibility: the maximum distance at which objects can be clearly seen, useful for driving and flying conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my detected location not exact?
IP-based geolocation maps your internet provider's network address to a general area, which is often a nearby city rather than your precise location. Mobile and VPN connections can be off by a wider margin. Use "precise location" or search by name for accuracy.
Is my location stored or shared?
No account or personal profile is created. See our Privacy Policy for full details on what is processed and for how long.
How often does the forecast update?
Data is refreshed from the weather provider at regular intervals and cached briefly to keep the site fast; pull a fresh result any time by searching again.
