"Turn your device into a thermometer, barometer, lightmeter and hygrometer - depending on which sensors your device has - with this app your phone is a tricorder & mobile science kit!"

"The ultimate goal though, is "to have an army of users submitting information in real time," who are constantly collecting data across large urban areas, which would allow for nowcasting. For most cities around the world, weather stations are placed outside the urban centres and only offer periodic predictions for the whole area throughout the day. However, nowcasting makes highly localised information available about a place almost to the minute, meaning people would know exactly when the Sun was about to come about, or when to go to lunch to avoid the rain."
""If you really want to do interesting things with weather, you're going to need to have information on an hourly level, or even every 15 minutes, and you have to have thousands and thousands of users in the city," "
