A beautiful weather and tide app for Weymouth, MA's Mill Cove area, created to help neighbors find their perfect beach moments.
MOOD days are those perfect Mill Cove moments when everything aligns:
- 🌊 High tide between noon-8pm (perfect beach time)
- 🌡️ Temperature 60°F or higher (comfortable weather)
- ☀️ Less than 30% chance of rain (sunny skies)
When all three conditions are met, the app highlights it as a MOOD day - your cue to head to the beach!
- 7-day weather forecast with real-time data
- Tide times from NOAA for precise Mill Cove conditions
- MOOD day detection - automatically identifies perfect beach days
- Progressive Web App - install on your phone like a native app
- Offline support - works even without internet
- Beautiful design inspired by Mill Cove sunsets
This app was born from a simple text message from a neighbor who thought Mill Cove deserved its own weather app. I love creating free tools that serve our local community and bring neighbors together around the things we all enjoy - like perfect beach days at Mill Cove.
