What happens

“The spirits are speaking…” Then a slow voice predicts the future: The spirits say it will rain on you in Portland at 4:00 PM. You were warned. It’s the hourly forecast in a cloak.

Setup

  1. Open the link in Safari on the iPhone, download the file, open it from Safari Downloads or Files, and tap Add Shortcut.
  2. Run Fortune Teller while unlocked, allow Location access, and check that the forecast loads. It needs a network connection.
  3. The prediction uses the first of the next twelve hourly forecasts with at least a 40% precipitation chance; if none qualifies, it reads current conditions and the daily high.
