I rely on it for something that is pretty simple: notification if it's going to rain tomorrow.

It doesn't rain enough where I live for me to be in the habit of checking, so having something sitting in the background that will remind me the ~5 times a year I care is really really helpful.

I ride a bike to work so it helps me prep my rain gear. My morning commute time doesn't take into account finding gear and getting it on :)

I use it for the exact same thing: I motorcycle in to work and need to make sure my rain gear is ready. But it only actually works about 25% of the time. It works so rarely that I haven't even remembered to turn it off.

Bummer. It works 99% for me but some ability to choose the percent chance threshold would help.

Same for me. I never check the weather and had too many times the situation after a morning commute by train to be totally unprepared to the destination weather. With that simple recipe never happened again.
