On top of the release of the new macOS Catalina operating system update today, the popular weather app, CARROT Weather, was updated today on the Mac, giving it a brand new, redesigned look.
This new look for the Mac version of CARROT Weather makes it look very similar to their recently updated iPadOS app.
For this update, Tiers 2 and 3 now have access to different data sources. The data sources you can use in the app are Dark Sky, Foreca, ClimaCell, AccuWeather, Aeris Weather and MetroGroup.
You can read the full details of the new update below:
Guess what, meatbags? You’re getting an all-new, crazy-powerful weather app today… for free!
Plus, my Premium Club is no longer limited to iOS users – now macOS users can join in the fun! (And yes, because I’m a generous overlord, Tier 2 and Tier 3 memberships purchased on iOS work on macOS and vice versa.)
Complete Redesign Check the weather lightning-fast with my gorgeous new interface. And there’s so much more meteorological goodness packed under the hood, just waiting for your clicks and scrolls.
Customization Add extra data points to the hourly and daily platforms, and customize every last data point in the app to display the weather details you actually care about.
Weather Data Sources (Tier 2 and 3 only) By default, I grab my forecasts from Dark Sky’s super-accurate weather data service. But meteorological science is more art than science, so now you can switch data sources to providers like MeteoGroup, AccuWeather, and ClimaCell if you want a second opinion. You can also hook me up to PWSweather and Netatmo weather stations, as well!
Notifications Weather alerts, precipitation notifications, and daily summaries are still available to all users. But now Tier 2 members can set up custom notifications, and Tier 3 members can sign up for lightning and storm cell notifications. (Lightning and storm cell notifications are U.S. only.)
Background Updates Unlock more frequent background updates of your weather data by upgrading to Premium Club Tier 2 (for 30 minute refreshes) or Tier 3 (for 15 minute refreshes).
Secret Locations Follow my clues to hunt down a brand new set of secret locations, including Chernobyl and the Titanic wreck.
Achievements Unlock achievements like “Cow Dodger” and “Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow.”
Personality Modes Adjust my personality to your liking with options ranging from friendly to homicidal. Or be a boring person and turn my personality off completely to disable all my “fun” features.
Weather Maps With legends and an expanded viewport, my radar is now better than ever at helping you track oncoming storms. Tier 2 members can also add additional data layers, like storm cells and temperatures, to the map.
Locations Not only can you rename your saved locations, you can also pinpoint their exact position on a map – perfect for big cities with many different neighborhoods.
And what major redesign would be complete without over two thousand new lines of dialogue, each snarkier than the last? I’ll throw that in, too, so long as you promise not to poke my ocular sensor.
xoxo, CARROT
CARROT Weather for the Mac can be found on the Mac App Store for $14.99. In order to get this update, you must be running the new macOS Catalina operating system.
