Ubuntu Weather

Loadshedding driving you to solar? Now see exactly what your panels will produce tomorrow. Daily kWh forecasts tailored to your install — only on Ubuntu Weather.

Weather built for South

Ubuntu Weather is the weather app that understands SA-specific things you actually need: load-shedding schedules, SAWS severe weather warnings, the forecast at your favourite sport's venue, and now, the daily output you'll get from your rooftop

NEW: SOLAR GENERATION FORECAST
Set up your panels once — panel count, wattage, tilt, compass direction — and Home shows daily kWh production for the week ahead. Tap any day to inspect its hourly curve. Supports E/W pitched-roof splits, optional inverter capacity caps for DC-oversized hybrid installs, and sun-hours comparisons

LIGHTNING PUSH ALERTS (PREMIUM)
Real-time push notifications when a lightning strike is detected within your chosen radius — typically delivered within 60 seconds of the flash.

SAWS SEVERE WEATHER WARNINGS
Push notifications for heavy rain, flooding, hail, snow, severe thunderstorms and damaging winds, sourced directly from the South African Weather Service.

LOAD-SHEDDING INTEGRATION
Live EskomSePush schedules for your area, paired with the weather forecast so you can plan around outages.
