Problem

Weather Underground needed to look into better ways to contextualize weather data for it’s consumers and be a part of their day to day activities.

Testing/Interviews

After a Design-a-thon I facilitated called “The Great Outdoors”, the winning Idea out of 5 was then wireframed and tested it with our users. Many users found that it would be helpful for our app to remind them or tell them when the best times in the 10 day forecast would be to do activities, this would better help their planning. We card tested what activities were the most helpful to our users as well.

Design

Working with the WU iOS designer I designed starting with that framework to create an android version of the smart forecast relying on newly released material design as my guide.

We first released this product on apple products and it had great success which led us to adapting it for our Android audience.
