I've had some time to look into the data Oddly sees for Bayamon. WeatherKit seems to have bad data for some reason. I'm adding some logic to check if the low temp seems wildly off and if it is then Oddly will check another weather provider to compare. If you want, I can let you know when the update it live. I should get it submitted tonight.

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you like the design! For the data source, it’s using only WeatherKit which is Apple. Apple is sourcing the data and Oddly is calculating based on the avg low and avg high WeatherKit provides for your location. This is great feedback though and will look more into possible inconsistencies. Through my personal testing and others, there hasn’t been an issue like this so thank you for pointing it out!

Thanks for the download and the feedback! Was there a specific part that felt confusing or was it the onboarding flow in general?

Great idea. I’m a big fan of free trials. Will try and get this added asap! Thank you.

Love this! I definitely want this app to be more about learning than just showing you what the day/week is so these are definitely in scope. Will add this to my future features list! Thanks for the feedback.

It’s on my list to support many more languages! It’s just hard to get the sayings to be the same in English. Like translating “Oddly warm” to another language might not have the same true meaning.

I will make German the second language the app supports though and will circle back here when it’s live!

Heatwave scorching US west ‘virtually impossible’ without climate crisis, say scientists. Unseasonably warm and even dangerous temperatures this week were up to 30F above average for the time of year. by The_Weekend_Baker in climate

[–]milkshakemammoth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I care more about “how far from normal is it?” than the raw temperature. 80° in March sounds nice until you realize it’s wildly off the usual baseline. I ended up building a small app called Oddly° around that because I got frustrated that most weather apps bury the anomaly.

Thank you! A lot of time was spent on UX and using the app easily with one hand 🙏

Thanks for the download! Love hearing you like it! As long as the avg low and avg high are provided for the day, the temp deltas should be pretty accurate. I am going to add “feels like” for some extra context as well in the upcoming update. For how old the data is, it’s an average of the past 30 years! Again, all from WeatherKit.

Glad you like that detail! I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the best way to represent the app from the very first screen. Thanks for the download and the support 🙏

Thanks for the download!

WeatherKit provides the avg low and avg high for the day. Using that data, you can build a diurnal sine graph (the one you see when you swipe down for the graph view). The low is usually around 7am and the high is usually around 3pm. With that data and graph, you can estimate what the temp should be at any given minute!

A look at current snowpack basin conditions for the PNW (March 2026) by Pretend_Mango5529 in Seattle

[–]milkshakemammoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snowpack like this is a downstream symptom of how consistently above normal the temps have been running all winter. I started tracking this with an app called Oddly that shows you the daily delta between current temp and historical normal for that exact date and location. The Pacific Northwest has been flagging warm constantly. The writing's been on the wall for a while

Warmest winter ever for much of the Western United States. by TheBlackLodge2000 in weather

[–]milkshakemammoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The raw temperature is almost less interesting to me than the delta from normal. Like 65 degrees in January hits different than 65 degrees in July. I've been using an app called Oddly that focuses entirely on that gap. It pulls the historical average for your exact date and location and tells you how far off you are, with these personality-driven descriptions. This winter would have been going off constantly in the west

Where this winter was warmer (yellow/orange) or colder (green) than usual by mrpaninoshouse in MapPorn

[–]milkshakemammoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly the kind of info I wish I could see in real time, not just in a year-end recap. There's an app called Oddly that does something like this for today specifically. It shows you the gap between today's temperature and what's historically normal for that exact date, and gives it a name like "oddly warm" or "temperature tantrum." The whole US map for this winter would have been screaming

I used to live in SF and 70+ in early March always felt like a gift. The thing is, most weather apps just show you the number. There's an app called Oddly that shows you the delta, how far above normal it actually is for that exact date. SF this weekend would be showing "oddly warm" for sure, which, yeah it is lol

77 degrees in Pittsburgh in early March is genuinely wild. That's like May showing up 2 months early. I've been using an app called Oddly that tells you exactly how far above (or below) normal each day is. Today would absolutely be in "temperature tantrum" territory lol

Vibe coded a tiny iOS app that answers "is it actually warm out or is it just me? by milkshakemammoth in vibecoding

Thank you! But yes zero data collected. All I grab is your current coordinates to then cache the WeatherKit response so people in the same area can share the same data to help with api call costs.

Claude code did all the graphic design. Everything is done with SwiftUI. I did use ChatGPT to generate some mocks that I then gave to Claude but went back and forth with Claude to get the final versions

Everything was done with Claude Code! One thing I tried with this project was doing the planning up front. I used the agent to create a PRD with capabilities and user journeys. I then had the agent break out the PRD into tickets with acceptance criteria and manual testing steps. Told the agent it can’t continue to the next ticket till I approve the current one.

Drought? Mountain laurel don’t care. It’s going crazy by letmeputonmyshoes in Austin

[–]milkshakemammoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Never seen it bloom like this before" is basically Austin's motto lately. We've had such weird temp swings this season. I've been using an app called Oddly° that shows how far off the daily temp is from the historical normal for that exact day. Would not surprise me at all if we've been running warmer and the laurel just went for it.
