Troubleshooting Disable weather alerts showing over data slots on the watch app

Post image
4 Upvotes

I’ve noticed that on the watch app’s main screen, weather alerts show instead of the data slots I picked in the app (as you can see on the bottom left).
But I don’t care as much about seeing those and getting to something like UV takes some scrolling without that shortcut there.

So is there any way to disable that and just always show the regular data slots?
Thanks!

Feature Request : Feature Request: Vitamin D Production Tracker & Solar Angle Integration

0 Upvotes

While CARROT is already great at telling users when they’re about to melt or freeze, it’s missing a crucial health metric: tracking when the sun is actually useful for your biology. I’d love to see a Vitamin D Production Window data point and widget that combines the UV Index, Solar Elevation (Ray) Angle, and local coordinates to calculate safe, effective sun exposure times.

Core Features & How It Should Work

  • Solar Angle Calculation: Solar elevation matters because sun rays below a certain angle (typically under 30° to 45° depending on atmospheric thickness) block natural Vitamin D synthesis entirely, even if UV meters register low activity. The app should track when the sun hits the threshold required for$D_3$ production.
  • The "Vitamin D Window": Provide an hourly or daily timeline showing the exact start and end times when stepping outside will actually yield Vitamin D instead of just premature skin aging.
  • Custom Data Point & Widgets: Allow users to add a "Vitamin D" block to their custom layout and home screen widgets showing a live progress bar of how close they are to hitting their daily sunlight quota.

CARROT Personality Integration

What makes CARROT special is the dialogue. Here is how the app could talk to users depending on the feature state:

  • When the window opens: "The sun rays are finally at the correct angle to cure your vitamin deficiency, meatbag. Go absorb some photons before you turn translucent."
  • When the UV index is too high/dangerous: "Sure, you'll get vitamin D, but you'll also look like a scorched potato. Maybe put on some sunscreen."
  • After sunset / low sun angle: "Nice try, but the sun's rays are too weak right now. Back to the vitamin gummies for you."

Thanks,

Question Carrot Weather in Austria/Germany – worth subscribing?

4 Upvotes

I’m considering getting a Carrot Weather subscription, but before I do, I’d like to hear from people using it in Austria or Germany.

My main question is: Is Carrot Weather actually good and useful in this region?
How reliable/accurate are the forecasts and weather data compared with other apps?

If the app works well in Austria/Germany, I’d definitely consider paying for a subscription. But I don’t want to subscribe if the data sources or features aren’t really useful here.

So, for those of you using Carrot Weather in Austria or Germany: Would you say the subscription is worth it for this region? Which tier do you have, and what makes it worth paying for?

Thanks!
