Could you build this?
Partial Fetching standard weather data via API is trivial, but crafting high-performance, real-time volumetric atmospheric light and cloud rendering shaders on mobile requires specialized graphics programming.
What it would actually take: While the weather data comes from standard APIs (e.g., Apple WeatherKit or Open-Meteo), the atmospheric rendering requires custom Metal/SwiftUI shaders (or high-end Three.js/WebGL if web-based) implementing raymarching or multi-layered noise-based procedural volumetric clouds with realistic light scattering. A graphics developer with experience in real-time procedural rendering and shader optimization is required.
