PROBLEM

Weather apps only show current data.

Most weather apps only deal with the present. They show current conditions and a short forecast, but there is no easy way to look back at what the weather was on a specific day years ago. The historical data exists, it is just buried in records that are not built for a quick glance. Yesterweather fills that gap.

SOLUTION

An easy to use, one-track app providing historical data.

The app does one thing. Pick a location and drag along the timeline to any date, and it shows the conditions for that day, going back years. Tap to switch between a single day and a full year, and the temperature, weather, and how it compares to this year update as you move. It is a plain black and white interface with no forecasts and nothing extra to get in the way.

RESULTS

Making a statement, with facts.

Putting a past date next to the current year makes the difference easy to read at a glance. There is no commentary, just the numbers for each day and place side by side. A small, focused app that leaves the interpretation up to you.
