WhetherWear Facts
WhetherWear is a free progressive web app that turns a weather forecast into a clothing decision. It reads air temperature, feels-like temperature, wind, precipitation, humidity and UV, then adjusts for what you will be doing, how long you will be outside, and whether you tend to run warm or cold. It returns a specific outfit — layers, outerwear, footwear and what to carry — rather than a set of numbers to interpret. No account is required.
Definitions
In one sentence. WhetherWear is a free weather decision tool that tells you what to wear based on current and forecast conditions, what you will be doing, and how warm or cold you tend to run.
In brief. WhetherWear is a free weather app that answers what to wear. It reads temperature, feels-like, wind, rain and humidity, then adjusts for your activity, time outdoors and personal comfort.
What WhetherWear is not
- Not a weather forecaster. It produces no forecasts of its own. It licenses weather data and interprets it.
- Not a clothing retailer. It sells no clothing and holds no inventory. Some pages carry affiliate links, disclosed where they appear.
- Not a source of medical or safety advice. Recommendations are about comfort. For severe weather, follow your national weather service.
- Not a generative system. The recommendation engine is deterministic; the same inputs always produce the same outfit.

Related questions
What problem does WhetherWear solve?
Forecasts report conditions but do not say what to put on. WhetherWear makes that decision, for a specific person on a specific day.
Where does the weather data come from?
WeatherAPI is the primary source. A second provider path exists in the codebase and can be switched on if the primary degrades.
Are recommendations personalised?
Yes — by stated warm or cold tendency, style preference, activity and time outdoors.
Does everybody get the same answer?
No. Two people in the same place on the same day can correctly get different answers, most often because of comfort tendency and how long they will be outside.
Is WhetherWear a clothing retailer?
No. It sells no clothing and holds no inventory. Some pages carry Amazon affiliate links, which are disclosed where they appear.
Does WhetherWear give medical advice?
No. Recommendations are comfort guidance, not medical or safety instruction. For severe weather, follow your national weather service.
What does WhetherWear do beyond showing a temperature?
It converts conditions into a specific outfit, states the reason for it, and flags the hour at which the answer changes.
