Tara Akyat! — Philippine Mountain Weather & Hiking Guide
A mountain-focused weather app for Philippine hiking destinations with real-time forecasts, 2-year historical weather data, and mountain-specific hiking guides to help users plan safer and smarter trips.
Problem
Generic weather apps rarely provide mountain-specific insights, historical weather patterns, or trail guidance tailored to local hiking destinations, making trip planning less reliable for hikers.
Contribution
Built Tara Akyat, a specialized web app for Philippine mountains that combines current forecasts, 2-year historical weather trends, and destination-specific hiking guides in one mobile-friendly platform. Historical weather helps users understand typical conditions for a location and season, while mountain guides add practical planning context beyond raw forecast data.
Outcome
Improved trip preparation by helping hikers compare current forecasts with past weather patterns and access mountain-specific guidance before traveling, supporting safer decision-making and better planning.
