Weather Today & Forecast
Check Today's Weather
WeatherNow shows the conditions where you are right now: temperature, how it actually feels, humidity, wind, visibility and pressure. Allow location access for an instant local forecast, or search any city, town or region by name.
Every forecast is refreshed every few minutes, so what you see reflects the latest model run rather than a stale morning report.
Hourly Weather Forecast
The hourly strip covers the next 24 hours with temperature, sky conditions and the chance of rain for each hour. It is the quickest way to decide when to leave for work, schedule a run, or time an errand between showers.
5-Day Weather Forecast
Planning further ahead? The 5-day outlook lists daily highs and lows, the expected condition and peak rain probability. Use it to pack for a trip or pick the driest day for an outdoor event. Remember that confidence decreases with each day, so check back as the date approaches.

How Weather Forecasts Work
Modern forecasts start with millions of observations from weather stations, balloons, aircraft and satellites. Supercomputers feed these into numerical models that simulate how the atmosphere will evolve, dividing the planet into a grid and calculating temperature, pressure, moisture and wind for each cell.
Several models are blended and corrected for local terrain to produce the forecast you see. Short-range predictions are highly reliable; beyond a week, forecasts show general trends rather than exact details.
How to Prepare for Rain
When the rain chance climbs above about 50%, carry a compact umbrella or waterproof jacket and allow extra travel time — wet roads increase stopping distances. For heavy downpours or thunderstorms, avoid low-lying areas prone to flooding and unplug sensitive electronics if lightning is close.
Understanding Temperature, Humidity and Wind
Air temperature alone doesn't tell you how comfortable it will be. High humidity slows the evaporation of sweat, so 32° in a humid city can feel far hotter than the same reading in a dry climate. Wind has the opposite effect in cold weather, carrying heat away from your skin — that is why the “feels like” value can be several degrees lower than the thermometer.
Wind speed also matters for safety: gusts above roughly 45 km/h can make cycling difficult and bring down weak branches. Use the highlights and “Should I go outside?” panels together to get a practical read on the day.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is today's weather forecast?
Forecasts for the next 24 hours are typically the most reliable. Accuracy gradually decreases further out, which is why we update data every few minutes and recommend checking again before important plans.
Where does WeatherNow get its weather data?
We use Open-Meteo, which combines output from national weather services and global numerical weather prediction models into a single high-resolution forecast.
Do I need an account to save locations?
No. Saved locations, recent searches and your °C/°F preference are stored only in your browser on this device.
What does rain probability mean?
It is the chance that measurable precipitation falls during that hour or day at your location. A 40% chance means rain is possible but not certain.
Why does 'feels like' differ from the actual temperature?
Feels-like temperature accounts for humidity and wind. Humid air makes heat feel stronger, while wind makes cold air feel colder.
