Big Weather

Weather in your menu bar that's nice to look at.

A glance at the menu bar gives you the temperature. Click it and the days ahead show up as one curve, so you can see when the rain comes in and when it clears without reading a table.

A look inside

Built for the menu bar

Run your cursor along the curve and it tells you the temperature and the rain at that hour. Two days of it, or ten with Premium, still hour by hour.

The hourly wave

Run your cursor along the curve and it tells you the temperature and the rain at that hour. Two days of it, or ten with Premium, still hour by hour.

What it does

If you look up at the menu bar more often than you open a weather app, this is for you.

AI insights: the forecast in a sentence

The menu bar tells you what today holds (“Heavy rain from 4PM”), and the panel sums up the week. From Thursday on, it covers next week too.

Big Weather AI insight: The days from Friday to Sunday grow colder, and it stays dry. Next week is noticeably colder than this one, turning colder as the week goes on, with rain on Thursday.

Apple Intelligence writes them on your Mac, so your location never goes to an AI service. Needs macOS 27 and a Mac with Apple Intelligence; other Macs get the regular summary.

Official warnings, word for word

When a flood, storm or heat warning covers where you are, it sits at the top of the panel as the weather service wrote it. Each day it touches gets a marker, and the menu bar gives you a heads-up.
