WeatherIST - iOS application for detailed weather prevision in Continental Portugal

This work is the result of a need to move the meteorological forecast system developed by METEO-IST to an iOS application. METEO-IST is a weather computational server owned by IST that calculates with great accuracy the different weather conditions (rain, wind, humidity, etc.) anywhere within the Portuguese continental territory. The predictions are calculated frequently (at every 15 minute intervals) and exhibit a great precision, distinguishing it from other global meteorological systems that are currently available. Currently the system makes the forecasts available through the group's website. At the request of several users, the objective was to create a native iOS application for the iPhone that provides these forecasts by taking advantage of the device’s capabilities.
