A clear view of the weather ahead, free and without a single ad
Pixl Weather is a free weather app with a clean, easy design that keeps everything in one place, so you can see storms, hurricanes, cyclones, wind and precipitation at a glance with nothing in the way. It runs on Google's latest AI weather prediction, which refreshes every hour, and it's built to give you fast, instant visibility into whatever is heading your way.
It works on iPhone, Android and desktop, and it installs from your browser in about a minute, so there's no app store to deal with.
A super El Niño is reshaping storms and weather prediction for the next year
The El Niño building in the Pacific could rank among the strongest on record, and years like this tend to bring more storms and cyclones, heavier rain and a higher risk of flooding in some regions. Pixl Weather is built to help you keep an eye on all of it, from the first signs of a storm to how much water is on the way.
Follow the weather hour by hour with detailed animations of every storm
Every hour of the next ten days is laid out in one easy view, so you can see when the rain will start, how hard the wind will blow and when it all clears out. It works the same way for a hurricane off the coast as it does for a winter storm over the mountains.
- 3 PMThe storm builds offshore this afternoon.
- 6 PMRain reaches the coast around 6 PM.
- 12 AMWind peaks at 50 mph just after midnight.

By day
Storm timing
See how much rain or snow is coming and exactly when it will arrive
Each day shows how much rain or snow to expect in inches, along with the hours it starts and stops, which is especially useful when heavy rain could mean flooding. When a storm brings rain to the valley and snow higher up, the app shows you the elevation where one turns into the other.
Preview storm systems in real time as they head your way
Press play to watch up to 48 hours of a storm's path move across the map, and switch between radar, rain, snow, wind and temperature to see what matters most to you. Zoom in and you can see which way the wind is blowing, and you can follow hurricanes in the Atlantic and cyclones in the Pacific as they develop.

Avalanche danger next to the forecast
