A little closer to the sky

Your forecast.
With atmosphere.

Rain that ripples. Clouds that drift. A night sky worth staying up for. Skylux is a weather app for Android and iPhone you can see, feel, and explore — with an hourly forecast, home-screen weather widgets and severe-weather alerts.

Skylux Weather showing a full-width severe thunderstorm warning banner over the forecast — Real app. A living sky.App screenshot · simulated weather

Live simulation Loading first sky… Touch the sky. Try a different atmosphere.

A real frame of the Skylux Weather app: current conditions, the Forecast / 7-Day toggle, and the hourly list, over the live thunderstorm sky — That orange band is the app's real Severe Thunderstorm Warning banner (shown here in preview mode) — full width, and it won't let you swipe it away while the warning is active.

The everyday view

The weather first. The atmosphere second.

A real frame of the app: temperature, feels-like, the Forecast / 7-Day toggle, and every hour with precipitation and temperature. The live sky stays underneath the forecast—expressive, but never in the way. Severe-weather alerts take the top of the screen when they matter.

One responsive system

Every condition has its own atmosphere.

The app builds its sky from the hour and the weather. The band below shows its clear-sky colour across 24 hours. Choose a condition above and this entire page shifts with it—lighter in clear weather, deeper in a storm, darkest at night.

A sky that tracks the clock
The background is chosen from the real hour of the day — dawn, day, dusk and night each get their own.
Wind you can actually see
Cloud drift speed scales with the real wind reading, so a calm day and a windy one genuinely look different.

Home-screen widgets

Your forecast, already where you look.

Two purpose-built Android weather widgets—not one layout squeezed into two sizes. Both sit transparently on your wallpaper, and you choose the format and colour scheme as you place each one.

The hourly one
A 2×4 tile: where you are, the temperature and the condition, a sun and moon row, and a list of the coming hours you can genuinely scroll on the home screen — not a fixed handful of rows. Make it shorter and it swaps itself to a compact layout rather than crushing the one it had.
The compact one
A 2×1 strip for when you only want the number: icon, temperature, location and feels-like in a single row. Both widgets resize, and both keep reading from the same forecast the app already fetched.
Three schemes, chosen per widget
Midnight, Blush and Lilac, picked on the small screen that opens as you place it. The choice is stored against that copy of the widget, so a dark one and a blush one can sit on the same home screen.

refreshes itself every 30 minutes — every 15 while a severe warning is live · every text tier in every scheme is set by measured lightness against the WCAG AA contrast bar, worst-case over a black wallpaper · home-screen widgets are Android today; the iOS app does not have them yet

Severe-weather alerts

Warnings that refuse to become background noise.

When the weather turns serious, the sky stops being the story. A severe weather alert takes the full width of the screen and remains until the issuing service clears it—across every surface the app owns.

Severe thunderstorm warning

A persistent warning, wherever you check the forecast.

It will not let you swipe it away
An Extreme or Severe warning holds a full-width band with no snooze, no mute and no setting to switch it off. Lesser advisories get a small badge in the header instead, and on the ordinary day with nothing active the band takes up no space at all.
Whichever service actually covers you
Warnings come from the US National Weather Service or from Environment and Climate Change Canada, routed by where you are — the US territories included. If your location can't be resolved, the app asks both rather than guessing and leaving you with nothing.
It reaches you with the app closed
The same warning lands on both home-screen widgets and as a phone notification. It doesn't wait for you to open something.

the app refreshes twice as often while a warning is live · the forecast stays behind the paywall — the warning never does, on purpose

For the curious

Three secrets hidden in the sky.

Hold, drag, and keep going. There is an aurora waiting in a clear night, a Mandelbrot set beyond the final forecast hour, and a ship that crosses the dark. All three run live here.
