The four climate overlays -- Comfort, Solar Potential, Precipitation, and Wind -- are now on Android, matching what web has had for a while. Tap the Layers button on the map, scroll to the Overlays section, and they are all there.
Quick breakdown of what each one shows:
Comfort colors the map by typical temperature for a week of year. Set your comfortable range (say, 55 to 75 degrees) and spots inside that range go green, colder goes blue, hotter goes red. Good for planning a route that stays in your preferred temp window.
Solar Potential shows average daily shortwave radiation in kWh per square meter per day. This one is genuinely useful for solar-dependent builds. Drag the week slider to see how charging potential shifts month by month across the country -- the difference between November in the Pacific Northwest and November in Arizona is dramatic.
Precipitation and Wind show typical rainfall and max daily wind for any week. Wind especially matters for tall builds or extended awnings.
All four have a week-of-year slider so you can preview any time of year, not just now. Pro users also get a Forecast toggle that switches from historical normals to the actual 1 to 16 day forecast for a day you pick.
And if you want the conditions for one specific spot rather than the whole map, the location detail screen on overnight POIs shows a Typical This Week card with that spot's average high, overnight low, solar, rain, and wind.
Which overlay are you finding most useful for planning? Curious whether the solar one is as useful in practice as it looks on paper.
