Real-time card reference
Real Time cards
Compare the Real Time card types and the current readings, summaries, rolling history, and location context each one can present.
The available cards follow the station’s current metric catalog. Provider access, station hardware, attached modules, and stored history determine which cards have data. Use Settings › Real Time to show, hide, and reorder available cards.
Card statistics and details
In the Standard presentation, cards add rolling cues from the preceding 24 elapsed hours of stored observations where they apply: the minimum and maximum with the time they occurred, which can fall on the previous day, 24h Average, and Max rate or Max gust for rain and wind. Rain cards show the 24-h total and the peak rain rate. These cues need stored history, so a station without recent local observations shows the current reading only.
In the Compact presentation, cards show current-day Peak rows and fall back to Yesterday’s Peak when a current-day value is not available yet. Compact condition cards show the rain rate and details about the current storm, such as when it started.
Selecting a card opens its charts together with related measurements, including a Last 24h chart. The detail stays open while data refreshes.
Station and condition cards
| Card | Content |
|---|---|
| Station Map | The selected station’s location. Valid station coordinates provide the map position. The card follows the map’s Weather Layer choice and can show the Rain Radar overlay. |
| Current Condition | A concise headline based on current rain, wind, temperature, solar, air-quality, or pressure context. Valid station coordinates can also provide Apple Weather context. |
| Sun Cycle | Civil dawn, sunrise, sunset, and civil dusk for the station’s current day, drawn as a daylight arc that follows the station’s local time and solar noon. |
| Moon Cycle | Moonrise, moonset, phase, and illumination for the station’s current day, with a drawn moon phase. |
Core weather cards
| Card | Content |
|---|---|
| Temperature | Current outdoor temperature, with the rolling 24-hour high and low when stored history is available. |
| Humidity | Current outdoor humidity, with the rolling 24-hour high and low when available. |
| Dew Point | Current outdoor dew point, with the rolling 24-hour high and low when available. |
| Lightning | Last-strike distance and age, proximity context, recent detections, and available 1-hour or rolling 24-hour strike totals. |
| Rain | Rain rate together with compatible daily, rolling 24-hour, or storm accumulation. The exact rows follow the station’s rain metrics. The gauge is drawn as a vessel that fills and drains through the day. |
| 24-h Rain | A compact chart and total for the preceding 24 elapsed hours, with current rain rate when available. Recent stored rain observations provide the chart bars. |
| Evapotranspiration | The current compatible evapotranspiration value, with daily or monthly totals when supplied. The gauge is drawn as a vessel that fills and drains through the day. |
| Wind | Current sustained wind speed and direction, with the rolling 24-hour maximum when available. |
| Wind Gust | Current or 10-minute gust and direction, with the rolling 24-hour maximum when available. |
| Pressure | Current sea-level pressure when available, with station pressure as the fallback and the rolling 24-hour high and low when available. |
| Pressure Tendency | Current pressure tendency, including the 3-hour pressure change when supplied. |
| Solar Irradiance | Current solar irradiance, with the rolling 24-hour high and low when available. |
| UV Index | Current UV index, with the rolling 24-hour high and low when available. |
Temperature and comfort cards
Weather Fusion creates individual current-value cards for compatible temperature and comfort metrics returned by the station:
- Apparent Temperature
- Feels Like
- Heat Index
- THW Index
- THSW Index
- Wind Chill
- Wet Bulb
- Black Globe Temperature
- Wet Bulb Globe Temperature
- Vapor Pressure Deficit
Each card represents its own normalized metric. Rolling 24-hour high and low values appear when compatible stored history exists.
Air-quality cards
| Card or group | Content |
|---|---|
| PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 | Separate particulate cards. A surfaced nowcast value is preferred for PM2.5 or PM10 when the source provides it. |
| AQI | Current AQI, with a surfaced nowcast preferred when available. |
| Additional PM2.5 channels | Separate cards for PM2.5 channels 1 through 4 when the station reports them. |
| Air-quality sensor conditions | Separate cards for the sensor’s temperature, humidity, dew point, heat index, wet bulb, and CO2 readings. |
| Indoor particulate sensor conditions | Indoor PM2.5, PM10, PM2.5 AQI, PM10 AQI, sensor temperature, and sensor humidity. |
Particulate and AQI cards add rolling 24-hour high and low values when compatible stored history is available.
Indoor and extra-channel cards
Weather Fusion can create separate cards for indoor temperature, humidity, apparent temperature, feels-like temperature, dew point, heat index, wet bulb, Wet Bulb Globe Temperature, CO2, and noise.
Compatible multi-channel stations can also expose individual cards for:
- extra temperature, humidity, dew-point, and feels-like channels 1 through 10;
- extra CO2 and noise channels 1 through 7.
Soil Moisture cards
Weather Fusion can show a separate Soil Moisture 1 through Soil Moisture 16 card for each supported current channel. Source names may appear as sensor attribution. Change card visibility and order in Settings › Real Time.
Each card shows the current value and gauge. It can also show a six-hour trend and the rolling 24-hour minimum and maximum when compatible stored readings exist. Missing or incompatible values are omitted. Open the card for its charts and related measurements, including a rolling 24-hour chart. Missing history does not remove an available current reading.
Percent values (%) show the percentage reported by the sensor. Centibar values (cb) show soil-water tension: lower values indicate wetter soil and higher values indicate drier soil. The two units are not converted or combined. A chart uses one unit at a time, with gaps where compatible readings are unavailable.
The gauges use reference ranges of 0–100% and 0–200 cb. Chart axes adapt to the data. Colors move from dry brown to wet blue for percent, and from wet blue to dry brown for centibars. These ranges are not crop thresholds or watering recommendations.
Other soil, water, leaf, event-time, and detailed diagnostic metrics remain available in Observations, Real Time Data, Historical Observation Data, and other compatible surfaces. See Supported measurements for the normalized catalog.
