Weather Forecast
Search any city for a 7-day forecast with rain probability, from the open Open-Meteo data. 100% free, no signup. Everything runs in your browser.
Loading the tool…
Search any city and this free weather tool gives you a clean 7 day forecast: the daily high and low, the probability of precipitation, and a simple condition icon for each day, plus an hourly temperature curve for today so you can see exactly when the afternoon peaks and when it starts to cool. One toggle switches the whole page between Fahrenheit and Celsius, which matters when your family is in Chicago and your clients are in Manchester.
Weather obviously cannot be computed inside your browser, so this tool talks to Open-Meteo, a free open-data weather API. Exactly two things travel over the network: the city name you type, which goes to Open-Meteo's geocoder to find coordinates, and those coordinates, which fetch the forecast. Your browser never asks for location permission, there is no account and no API key, and if Open-Meteo is unreachable the tool tells you instead of quietly showing an old forecast as fresh.
How to use
- Type a city name into the search box, for example Denver, Manchester or Brisbane.
- Pick the right match from the suggestions if several places share the name.
- Read the 7 day cards. Each one shows the high, the low, the chance of precipitation and a condition icon.
- Look at today's hourly curve to see how the temperature moves through the day.
- Flip the unit toggle to switch everything between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
- Search another city any time and the forecast swaps instantly.
Why use our weather forecast?
I built this after one too many weather sites made me scroll past four ad blocks and an autoplaying video to find tomorrow's high. This page is the forecast and nothing else, which I suspect is all most of us wanted in the first place. It loads fast, it works on a phone, and it never asks you to enable notifications.
The hourly curve is the feature I use most, because daily highs and lows hide the shape of the day. The curve shows whether the high lands at noon or at four in the afternoon, which is the difference between a lunchtime run and an after-work one, or between mowing the lawn early and regretting it later.
An honest weather tool should also say this out loud: forecasts are solid for the next two or three days and get fuzzier from there. Days six and seven are best read as a trend, not a promise. Open-Meteo builds on respected national weather models, but no model on Earth nails next Thursday every time, and I would rather tell you that than pretend.
Coverage is genuinely global. The geocoder knows major cities, small towns and plenty of places in between, so it works whether you are checking Toronto before a flight or a village in the Cotswolds before a wedding. And because the unit toggle flips everything at once, you never end up reading Celsius rain chances against Fahrenheit temperatures.
Privacy stays simple: the tool only ever knows the place you typed. It never requests your device location, so you can check the weather for your own street or for a city you have never visited, and the request looks exactly the same.
Who is this tool for?
Trip planning is the obvious one. Check the week ahead in your destination before you pack, so you know whether Seattle wants a rain shell or Phoenix wants sunscreen. If the trip crosses time zones, our time zone converter will sort out what time you actually land.
Anyone who works outdoors, from landscapers to wedding photographers, uses the precipitation probabilities to schedule around rain. A 70 percent chance on Thursday and 10 percent on Friday is a rescheduling conversation you want to have on Monday, not Thursday morning.
Long weekend hunting works nicely too. Find an upcoming day off with our public holidays checker, then check whether the weather that week deserves the trip. I have talked myself out of at least one camping weekend this way, and I regret nothing.
And there is the simple comparison case: thinking about a move, or arguing with a friend about whose city has the worse week ahead. Search both cities back to back and settle it with data.
Frequently asked questions
From Open-Meteo, a free open-data weather API that builds on national weather service models. No account or API key is needed, and the tool names its source instead of vaguely claiming its own forecasts.
No. It never asks your browser for location permission. The only place it knows about is the city name you type into the search box.
The first few days are usually reliable, and accuracy fades the further out you go. Treat days six and seven as a general trend. Any weather product telling you otherwise is overselling.
Almost any populated place worldwide. The Open-Meteo geocoder covers major cities, suburbs and small towns; if several places share a name, you pick the right one from the suggestion list.
It is the chance that measurable rain or snow falls during that period, not how heavy it will be. A 40 percent chance can still mean a brief shower, and a 90 percent chance can be steady drizzle.
Yes, one toggle flips every temperature on the page, both the 7 day cards and the hourly curve. Pick whichever your brain works in.
Two things: the city name you typed, sent to Open-Meteo's geocoder, and the resulting coordinates, sent to fetch the forecast. Nothing else about you is included in either request.
You see a clear error message. The tool never shows an outdated forecast as if it were current, because a confident wrong answer is worse than an honest failure.
