A minimalist, high-precision weather interface focused on glanceable data and hyper-local accuracy.
Project Weather is a mobile-first UI concept designed to solve "information overload" in weather apps. Instead of burying data in complex menus, this design uses a hierarchical card system to prioritize what users need most: current conditions, precipitation probability, and the 24-hour forecast.
- Figma Design: View Interactive Prototype
- Target Audience: Commuters, travelers, and outdoor enthusiasts.
- Tools: Figma, Auto-Layout 5.0, Phosphor Icons.
Weather apps often struggle with visual clutter. Providing humidity, UV index, wind speed, and pressure without overwhelming the user is a delicate balance.
- The Goal: Create a "Glanceable" UI where the user can understand the next 6 hours of weather in under 3 seconds.
The background and accent colors shift based on the current weather state (e.g., soft blues for rain, warm ambers for sun) to provide immediate cognitive feedback.
Modular cards for UV Index, Humidity, and Visibility that use "Progress Rings" for faster data absorption than text alone.
A horizontal scroll for the hourly forecast with integrated precipitation bars, allowing users to plan their day minute-by-minute.
| Element | Specification | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Typography | SF Pro / Inter | Clean, sans-serif fonts that remain legible at very small sizes (crucial for metric labels). |
| Primary Color | #InsertColor |
Chosen for high visibility and its psychological association with [Atmosphere/Nature]. |
| Grid System | 8pt Soft Grid | Ensures consistent spacing between data modules and screen edges. |
| Iconography | Duo-tone Glyphs | Differentiates between "Active" weather states and "Passive" atmospheric data. |
- Discovery: Analyzed Apple Weather and AccuWeather to identify gaps in "white space" usage.
- Wireframing: Focused on a "Thumb-Zone" layout—ensuring search and location switching are reachable with one hand.
- Visual Identity: Developed a glassmorphic UI style to mimic the transparency of the atmosphere.
- Prototyping: Created smooth transitions between "Daily View" and "Detailed Metric View."
I am actively looking for tips, opinions, and expert feedback to improve this design.
- UX Critique: Is the data hierarchy logical?
- Visual Opinion: How do you feel about the glassmorphic cards?
- Developer Perspective: Is this layout optimized for API integration?
- Feedback Thread: Open an Issue here!
