Weather and home location

Ask “What’s the weather?” for your saved home location, or name a place explicitly: “Will it rain in Portland, Oregon tomorrow afternoon?” Include the region when several towns share a name. Nock uses a forecast tool rather than relying on a general web-search snippet.

Set what home means

Open Settings → Agent → Weather. In Home location, type the town and choose the intended result. Use my current location estimates the place from your internet connection and saves it; it is not a GPS reading.

Once a home location is saved, requests such as “here” and “home” refer to that place. This is useful when a VPN or your internet provider makes automatic detection choose the wrong town. When traveling, name the destination in the question or update the saved home location deliberately.

If no home is saved, the app can estimate a location from your public IP address. That location is approximate and may be a nearby city or a VPN exit point. Check the place shown on the result before relying on the temperatures.

Choose units

Use Units in the Weather settings to select Celsius or Fahrenheit. The automatic option follows system temperature or region preferences where available. You can also request a unit explicitly for a particular answer.

After changing units, ask a fresh weather question and check the displayed symbol. A screenshot or an old conversation card is historical output; it need not change just because your preference changed.

Read the forecast

Open the weather card’s Details to inspect the forecast, hourly conditions, sunrise and sunset, and available alerts. Compare the hour with the forecast location’s time. Hourly precipitation information describes an interval, not an exact minute when rain will begin.

Forecasts come from MET Norway. US locations can also include National Weather Service alerts. An alert lookup failure must not be read as “there are no alerts,” and the US alert feed does not cover every country. Check the relevant local authority for safety-critical warnings.

Fix an unexpected result

For the wrong town, add the state or country and check Home location. For wrong units, inspect the setting and repeat the request explicitly. For unavailable weather, check the connection and retry after the service recovers. The forecast can use a previously fetched copy when a refresh fails; pay attention to any reported age.

Place-name matching starts with a bundled list. Unknown places may require an online lookup. Forecast services receive the location coordinates, while automatic IP detection contacts a location service. Setting a home location avoids that automatic location lookup, but forecast requests still contact the weather services. See Privacy.
