What to wear this week
Type your city or use your location. You see today and the next 6 days: how each afternoon will feel outside, which days need a coat, which need an umbrella, and which need layers.
Quick answer: look at the coldest and the warmest day of the week first. At 10 °C (50 °F) or less, have a warm knit and a coat ready. Above 18 °C (64 °F), wear something light. Plan an umbrella for every day with a 40% or higher chance of rain, and layers for days that change from cold to mild.
What to wear tomorrow: morning, afternoon and evening
How the tool plans the week
The tool reads the forecast of the place for today and the next 6 days. Each day gets a band by its "feels like" temperature at 13:00 (1 pm) local time, the middle of the day out. The "feels like" temperature is the temperature your body feels with the wind, the humidity and the sun. When the forecast has no hourly numbers for a day, the tool uses the high of that day.
Above the days, the tool sums up the week: which days are cold, mild or warm, and what to wear for each band. So you see at once if you need a coat this week, or only a light layer.
A day with a 40% or higher chance of rain is a rain day: take an umbrella and leave suede at home. A day whose morning (8:00, 8 am), afternoon (13:00, 1 pm) and evening (19:00, 7 pm) are in different bands is a layers day. For example, 6 °C (43 °F) in the morning and 14 °C (57 °F) in the afternoon are cold and mild: a light layer over a warm knit is easier than one heavy coat.
A day card shows the UV index, the wind and the rain only when they are high: a UV index of 6 or more, wind of 20 km/h (12 mph) or more, or a 40% or higher chance of rain.
A forecast is less sure the further ahead it goes. Check the last days of the week again one or two days before.
| Feels like | Band | What to wear |
|---|---|---|
| 10 °C (50 °F) or less | Cold | A warm knit and a coat. Closed shoes. |
| above 10 °C (50 °F), up to 18 °C (64 °F) | Mild | A light layer you can take off, and trousers or jeans. |
| above 18 °C (64 °F) | Warm | Something light and breathable. Linen or cotton. |
Plan the week's outfits from your own clothes
This page knows only the weather. The Wearton web app also knows your closet. Its Today page shows an outfit of the day made from the clothes you own, and after a day out it asks how you felt, and moves your personal "feels like" temperature up or down.
The Wearton phone app, for iPhone and Android, also reads your calendar and plans outfits for the week: for one event, for a free day or for the whole week at once, with the forecast of each day, up to 10 days ahead. It is coming soon.
Questions about what to wear this week
What should I wear this week?
Type your city at the top of this page. The summary shows which days are cold, mild or warm. At 10 °C (50 °F) or less, a warm knit and a coat. Above 10 °C and up to 18 °C (64 °F), a light layer you can take off. Above 18 °C, something light and breathable.
How do I plan outfits for a week of changing weather?
Start with the coldest day: the outer layer for that day is the warmest piece you need this week. Then plan layers for the days that change band during the day, and shoes that can get wet for the rain days. Pieces that fit more than one band, such as a light knit or a trench coat, let you wear fewer clothes in more ways.
Which day of the week will be the coldest?
The summary names the coldest and the warmest afternoon of the week. Both are the "feels like" temperature at 13:00 (1 pm), so a windy day can be colder than a calm one with the same air temperature.
Why does the tool use 13:00 for each day?
13:00 (1 pm) is the middle of the day out, and the same hour for every day lets you set the days side by side. Each day also shows its morning at 8:00 (8 am) and its evening at 19:00 (7 pm), in the local time of the place you typed.
Do I need an umbrella this week?
The summary lists the days with a 40% or higher chance of rain. Take an umbrella on those days and leave suede at home. When no day has a high chance of rain, the summary says so.
How sure is the forecast for a whole week?
The first two or three days are the most sure. The later days can still change, most of all the chance of rain. Check again a day or two before. The forecast comes from the weather service named under the result.
Can I see more than 7 days?
This tool shows 7 days. The Wearton phone app shows the forecast up to 10 days ahead in its calendar and plans outfits for your events with it. It is coming soon for iPhone and Android.
Is the tool free?
Yes. It is free and needs no sign-up and no account. To stop abuse, one address can ask up to 20 times a minute.
Do you keep my location?
No. If you use your location, your browser rounds it to about 1 km before it sends it, and it is never put in the page address. Our server uses it only to get the forecast and does not store it or write it in logs. If you type a city, the city is added to the page address, so you can bookmark or share the result.
