your weather bestie
🏵 about
babeWeather was conceived in June of 2024 when I found existing weather apps wanting in both design and data organization. A year and a half later, babeWeather is available on the AppStore for iOS devices, offering a more human approach to weather. (Android version coming soon.)
Weather apps are a foregone conclusion, the universal need for weather data nearly absolute. As a result, consumers are given basic apps with generic appeal. Data like dew point and relative humidity are provided alongside wind speed, in miles or kilometers per hour, with a completely straight face.
babeWeather was designed for people who want to prepare for outside weather without memorizing the Beaufort scale of wind speed or learning what relative humidity means.
babeWeather achieves this by not only providing the same data points as your traditional weather apps, but also interpreting and categorizing the weather based on how it will affect you, the world outside, and even your hair.
On a typical weather app, you would see a 5 mph wind and the atmospheric pressure as normal at 1014mb. babeWeather shows you this same data, but adds that 5 mph is a light breeze and classifies it as low wind. Current pressure is compared against the coming hours and classified as stable, unstable, or chaotic, because low pressure doesn’t make joints hurt or cause migraines, rapidly dropping pressure does.
Users who opt for hair data have an additional screen component that incorporates wind, humidity, precipitation, and UV data and interprets it to provide tips for weather based hair care. If the wind is high, babeWeather will suggest a wind safe hairstyle. If UV is high, babeWeather will suggest covering your hair or using a UV protectant product in your morning routine. In the event of high temps, users will be prompted to use a heat protectant or work a hydrating hair mask/long condition treatment into their week.
In a world full of weather apps that barely serve a purpose, babeWeather seeks to provide thoughtful information and help users engage in weather based self-care by removing the guesswork and offering actionable steps and advice.
Hello! My name is Sari and I created babeWeather. I have a background in tech, but mostly I have a lot of audacity. The weather app I wanted didn’t exist and I believed I could make it. I’m so excited to finally share my work with the world.
