You can enable daily precipitation from the app settings screen.

Lack of a number signifies little or no significant accumulation that day.

Weather Strip now includes aurora forecasts!

The green area is the likelihood of seeing the Northern/Southern Lights based on NOAA space weather forecasts.

@ChrisNguyenPhD @robinstewart Thanks! No, sorry about that. Every weather request costs money, and the app needs ongoing work to keep up with Apple updates, so I haven’t wanted to take on the risk of upfront purchases. It reduces risk for you too, since you don’t pay for more than a year. 😄

@geoffeg Thanks! Will look into it. (Though I like the idea of earthquake mode! 🙃) If you don't mind, please also submit a problem report from within the app — that will include some system info to help us reproduce the issue.
