Live artefact

How can you keep track of the weather you will actually experience as you travel from A to B, or move between several places? Instead of juggling separate forecasts, consolidate the conditions into one view and get a smart summary of how the weather will change along the way.

Hypothesis

When you travel from A to B — starting in Devon in the morning and ending up in Berlin in the evening, for example — you have to juggle multiple weather forecasts. It can be hard to piece together the actual differences between those places and what they mean in practice: do you need warmer clothes, shorts, waterproofs, or something else? The idea is to surface the weather that matches your schedule, so you can see the conditions across every place you will visit in one consolidated view, alongside a smart summary of the major temperature differences and changes you will experience.

What I built

The app is designed around a simple travel schedule and has been built as an AI-assisted coding project in Codex. You add the places you expect to be and the times you expect to be there, then Journey Weather creates a single feed for the conditions you will move through. It can call out practical changes at a glance, like starting the day in clear weather and arriving later somewhere colder or rainy. The core shift is from checking multiple places manually to seeing one journey-first forecast, with practical prompts about waterproofs, warmer clothes, sunglasses, or any major change in conditions.

Outcome

The app is in progress, with a planned live version in July 2026. The current prototype combines an hour-by-hour weather feed, scheduled location changes, a short day summary, and practical packing prompts such as sunglasses, warmer clothes, or waterproofs.
