Coming soon to the App Store
An iPhone app that watches both — your local forecast and every recorded earthquake in the Philippines — and tells you when one of them is about to matter.
Seismic
The archipelago sits on the most active stretch of the Ring of Fire, and magnitude 2.5 and up means dozens of events in a busy week. Quakestorm lists the last fourteen days of them, each with depth, distance, and an epicenter map framed on both the event and you.
Magnitude drives how an event is presented — its colour in the list, whether the alert is marked time-sensitive, how far it is allowed to interrupt you.
Atmospheric
Current conditions, the next twenty-four hours, and seven days out — for where you are and for as many other cities as you care to follow. Each one plays live footage of its own weather behind the numbers, so a glance tells you what a reading takes a moment to.
Alerts
Privacy
There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party SDKs of any kind. Your saved cities, settings, and alert history stay on the phone. Your location goes to the weather service to answer a forecast request and nowhere else — never to our servers.
The only thing the server keeps is an anonymous Apple push token, so an earthquake alert has somewhere to go. Turn earthquake alerts off and it is deleted. Read the full policy.

Quakestorm reports earthquake data from the USGS for general awareness. It is not an official warning service, and it does not issue tsunami warnings. For authoritative Philippine advisories, follow PHIVOLCS and your local authorities.
