About
Omni Weather brings Open-Meteo and MeteoBlue forecasts to your Garmin watch:
a glance that shows the weather without opening anything, and six pages covering
the current conditions, the next three hours, the next 24 hours and the coming
seven days. No account, no mandatory setup: install it and the forecast is
already there.

--Features--
- Two weather sources, your choice: Open-Meteo is on by default and needs no
sign-up at all; MeteoBlue is there for anyone who prefers its models, using
your own free API key.
- At-a-glance view: condition icon, current temperature, today's high and
low, chance and amount of rain — without opening the app.
- Six pages, from the nearest to the widest: Today (current and felt
temperature, humidity, chance and millimetres of rain, wind, the day's high
and low); Insight 3h; Trend 24h, an hour-by-hour chart of temperature,
rain and wind; the Week over two screens of four days with icon, rain, wind
and temperatures; Trend 7d, the week as a chart of highs, lows, rain and
wind.
- Insight 3h flags rain, thunderstorms, wind, heat, cold, ice, snow and fog
in the next three hours, with the hour they arrive and how long they last. The
thresholds follow the activity you pick — general, running, cycling,
hiking, skiing — because 28 km/h of wind does not mean the same thing to a
cyclist and to someone walking. With nothing to report the page still sums the
three hours up, and either way it describes the weather rather than telling
you what to do.
- Automatic background refresh every 1, 3 or 6 hours (or never), set from
Garmin Connect or straight from the watch.
- Battery-conscious by design: a good position fix is reused rather than
reacquired, GPS only switches on when actually needed, and the background
refresh backs off on its own with a low battery or no connection.
- Your watch's own units (degrees, km/h or mph, mm or inches) and an
interface in English or Italian, day names and wind directions included.
- Compatible with 19 Garmin models: Fenix 8 and Fenix 7, Enduro 3, Epix Pro,
Forerunner, Venu 3, Approach and Descent Mk3, on both AMOLED and MIP displays.
--Setup and use--
1. Install the app: on first launch it already works with Open-Meteo — no
key, no account.
2. (Optional) Switch to MeteoBlue: sign up for a free API key on MeteoBlue's
site, then open Garmin Connect → the app → Settings → Weather source →
MeteoBlue and paste the key into the API key field.
3. Use the watch's menu (press MENU from any page) for Refresh now, New
position (useful if the forecast seems to be for the wrong place),
Activity, Weather source, Update every and About.
4. Page through the six screens with the up/down buttons, or a swipe on
models without dedicated buttons: the system's own dots along the side always
show where you are.
5. If the forecast will not refresh: check your connection (a phone over
Bluetooth, or LTE/Wi-Fi on models that support it) and, if you use MeteoBlue,
that the API key is correct — the app reports either problem at the foot of
the screen.
