Carrot Weather now reports probability of human survival

Carrot Weather, the charming and irreverent app from developer Brian Mueller, gains smart layouts and the ability to save and share short video weather reports as part of a series of tweaks rolled out today with the release. 5.3.

Notably, the app now displays wet bulb temperature readings to gauge the likelihood that you will survive the next heat wave. No, this isn’t an adorably sarcastic carrot joke, but a real metric that becomes more and more relevant as parts of the planet get too hot for humans.

Carrot is also adding smart layouts that will automatically switch to different interfaces at night or when it rains. The nighttime layout emphasizes the extended forecast for planning future activities, while the precipitation-focused rain layout can help keep you dry on your commutes. Smart layouts, like many of Carrots’ advanced features, require a subscription plan that starts at $ 4.99 / month or $ 19.99 / year.

The latest major addition is Citizen Weather Reports – 30-second videos that can be shared with friends. Reports can be saved using application-generated scripts that are read in your phone’s selfie camera. Otherwise, you can fly it with the savage abandon of a dong-obsessed billionaire fleeing this doomed planet.
