Temperature comparison

How today compares to yesterday — which is how you actually think.

Nobody dresses by absolute temperature. You dress by whether it's colder than it was. Forecast Bar puts that comparison on the main screen, in your daily reports, and in a notification when the swing is big enough to matter.

Temperature comparison in Forecast Bar, in short

On the main screen
A banner reading, for example, "13°F warmer tomorrow" or "1°F cooler than yesterday" sits above the forecast.
As a notification
Turn on temperature comparison alerts and Forecast Bar tells you when the swing is big enough to change what you'd wear.
Thresholds
Automatic mode picks the bar for you, or set your own degree difference for highs and lows independently.
In daily reports
The comparison is folded into the morning and evening report text rather than being a separate notification.
Where it works
Worldwide.
Plan
Temperature comparison notifications are part of Forecast Bar Silver and above.

The number you actually use

"52°" means nothing. "13° colder than yesterday" means a coat.

Absolute temperature requires you to remember what yesterday felt like and do the subtraction. Forecast Bar does it for you and puts the answer at the top of the screen, where a banner tells you the direction and size of the change.

  • Today compared to yesterday, on the main screen
  • Tomorrow compared to today, so you can plan ahead
  • Highs and lows compared separately
  • Colour-coded so the direction reads at a glance

Only when it matters

A notification for the swings, not the drift.

A two-degree change isn't worth a notification. A thirteen-degree change is. Automatic mode works out where that line sits, or you can set your own thresholds for highs and lows and only hear about the swings that clear them.

  • Automatic thresholds, or set your own degree difference
  • Separate thresholds for daytime highs and overnight lows
  • Folded into morning and evening reports if you'd rather not have another alert
  • Quiet hours apply, as with every routine notification
FAQ

Questions about temperature comparison

Does Forecast Bar show whether today is warmer than yesterday?
Yes. A banner on the main screen tells you how today compares to yesterday, and how tomorrow compares to today, for both highs and lows.
Can I get a notification when the temperature changes a lot?
Yes. Temperature comparison notifications tell you when the swing between days clears a threshold. Automatic mode picks that threshold for you, or you can set your own for highs and lows independently.
Is the comparison included in the daily reports?
Yes. If you have morning or evening reports enabled, the temperature comparison is written into the report text rather than arriving as a separate notification.
Which plan includes temperature comparison notifications?
Forecast Bar Silver and above. Compare plans for the full breakdown.
