Because it isn't showing one model — it's reconciling several of the world's leading forecast models into a single consensus. When they agree, you get a confident answer. When they disagree, Sky Warden shows the spread instead of hiding it behind one confident-looking number. Tap the confidence pill at the top to see each source's value side by side.
It's how closely the forecast models agree right now — measured from their actual values, not a marketing figure. A calm ⓘ means they vary only slightly (still basically aligned); an amber ⚠️ means there's a real split worth a look. Tap it to see exactly which reading they differ on.
Tide and marine data only appear where a provider covers your coastline, so inland locations won't show them (the scene switches to a land view there). Live radar depends on ground-radar coverage for your area — a gap means no radar in range, not necessarily no rain. Check that you have a network connection and try pulling down to refresh.

Pull down on the main screen to refresh. If it persists, check your connection — Sky Warden needs the internet to fetch from its data providers. Force-quitting and reopening the app also clears a stuck load.
No accounts, no tracking, no ads. Your location is used only to fetch weather and is never tied to your identity; your calendar never leaves your device. Full details on the privacy page.
