I can never sleep during a full moon when I'm backpacking, so knowing the phase before a trip is a must (or at least I know to bring my eye mask). I also skin up Loveland Ski Area after they close, and we love to go on full moon nights. Now you can see the current moon phase, illumination, and moonrise time right on the forecast page, and tap it to open a detail view with a monthly calendar.
Added a Frequently Asked Questions page based on real user feedback. Covers pricing, saving locations, weather models, and more. Also freshened up the site with a spring theme.
A user types "Loveland". Did they mean the pass, the town, or the ski resort? Another example: if you search "Zion", do you mean the national park? The campground, which is called Watchman? Or some of the trails, like Angels Landing? Turns out, search is a really challenging problem to solve, and I made a lot of improvements to try to make it better for our end users.
Planning a multi-day trip and want to compare how confident the forecast is for each day? Now you can tap any day below the uncertainty chart to see the hourly breakdown, then swipe between days without leaving the view. No more closing and reopening to check the next day.
When you search, the new "My Locations" tab shows both your favorites and saved locations together. Each section has its own header, and items that are both favorited and saved show both badges so you can tell at a glance.
Tap anywhere on a trail, peak, or campground map to see the weather at that exact spot, then save it. Your saved locations now show up as pins right on the map, so you can tap one to jump back to it anytime. Perfect for marking a campsite, a summit approach, or that sheltered lunch spot at 10,000 feet.
Wind gets its own dedicated card with a compass rose that shows direction and speed at a glance. Tap it to open hourly wind charts with gusts and direction over time. On mobile, pull down anywhere on the forecast to refresh, complete with a custom compass animation. Plus, the favorite button got a cleaner redesign, upgrade modals now show location-specific copy, and you can share TrekWeather with friends right from the app.
Phew! TrekWeather just went from 12 states to all 50. Nearly 20,000 new trails are now live with elevation-accurate forecasts. Whether you're hiking in Florida, backpacking in Montana, or exploring trails in New York, TrekWeather has you covered.
Tap the UV Index or Air Quality card to see hourly charts with current value, daily peak, and risk level. You can browse day by day and switch between metrics in one view. Plus, a new Wildfire Smoke metric tracks air particulate levels with EPA-based health categories.
Planning a trip far from home? No more tedious panning across the country. Use the new Jump to State button on the Explore map to instantly fly to any U.S. state. Just tap the paper plane icon and select your destination.
You asked, we listened! Wind conditions are now front and center. See wind speeds and gusts directly in your hourly forecast with clear visual indicators. Plus, the weather animation now transitions naturally through golden hour, sunset, and twilight so the sky you see matches the actual time of day at your destination.
See how weather changes as you go up the mountain. For ski areas, you can now view forecasts for three elevation zones: base, mid, and top. Click any zone to see the detailed forecast for that elevation. Perfect for deciding which part of the mountain to ski or whether conditions are better higher up.
Traditional forecasts give you one number, but weather is inherently uncertain. Now you can see the full range of possible outcomes with our new uncertainty forecasts. Know when conditions are locked in vs. still uncertain.
You can now tap anywhere on the trail map to see a weather preview, no account required. A pulsing marker shows you exactly where to tap. After your first free preview, create a free account to unlock unlimited point forecasts and see detailed conditions at any elevation along your route.
Added this changelog page so you can follow along with what's new in TrekWeather.
Rewrote how the AI summarizes NOAA forecasts. Now you get a "Heads Up" section that calls out hazards like high winds, fire danger, and travel impacts. Summaries include actual numbers (snow totals, wind gusts, rain amounts) when NOAA provides them. No more weather jargon, just plain language written like a friend explaining the forecast.
After 7 years in the making, Premium is here! Snow totals, weather model switching, uncertainty forecasts, AI summaries, and expanded save limits.
