Author Forecast transforms the mundane task of checking the weather into a literary experience, delivering real-time local forecasts through carefully curated quotes from history’s greatest writers, such as Tolstoy, Austen, and Kafka. Housed in solid white oak with a brass-accented ‘Sundial’ for navigation, it features an elegant E-Ink display that mimics the feel of a printed page while reducing energy consumption. With over 5,000 quotes that update automatically, it offers endless variety even in consistent weather. Available in two sizes, the device provides a detailed hourly and weekly forecast, supports Fahrenheit and Celsius, and includes parental controls for quote curation. Long battery life and seamless Wi-Fi updates ensure effortless functionality, making it a refined alternative to traditional weather apps. Paired with the Author Clock, it creates a literary-inspired home environment where time and weather are beautifully intertwined.
