The weather is one tap away
Android is a virtual paradise for weather geeks and anyone who just wants to know if it’s going to rain today. Between all the weather apps out there and Google’s built-in tools you’ll never be short of meteorological data to help you decide if you need to pack an umbrella or grab extra sunscreen.
Here are our ten favorites, which should ensure you’ll have plenty of information to satisfy your appetite for the day’s forecast. Most are free, but usually there are extra perks worth having if you can spare a few dollars to support development.
The Weather Channel
The name “Weather Channel” is for many people synonymous with weather forecasts. The app is a pretty solid option, with lots of video, maps, and other data.
There’s a lot packed in here, including a persistent temperature reading that lives in the notification bar. There are also many different alert options, allowing you to select notifications for rain, lighting strikes, or breaking news.
The app also has a monetization scheme called mPoints, which has a scroll of offers from other apps and companies. It lives to the right of the app’s main screen, but fortunately you can turn it off.
If you have an Android tablet the app is one of the few optimized for bigger screens. Included are plenty of widget choices to put all that screen real estate to work.
Google
Google's quest to organize the world's information extends to the weather.
Google's weather information can be found a few ways. You can issue a voice command by asking, "How's the weather?" Or launch Google Now to see a dedicated weather card that offers brief weather details based on your location. If you've installed the Google Now Launcher, you'll get a notification from time to time about the day's forecast.
On Android Wear, you'll see a weather card that tells you the current temperature and expected weather for the next few days. If you just want to be able to find out the temperature and what the weather might look like tomorrow, Google may be all you need.
Weather Underground
Weather Underground just got a nice overhaul that will make Material Design fans happy. I find the new look makes it very easy to navigate, as all the content is focused into one stream, whereas other weather apps sometimes shift content into multiple areas. You’ll find Doppler radar, detailed forecasts, and rather easy-to-read charts.
I also appreciate the health section, as it has good information about the air quality, UV index, and influenza details. You also get some widget options, though it would be better if the 4x1 would stretch over one more space for larger devices like the Nexus 6P or Galaxy Note.
The app is ad-supported, but you can nix them with a $1.99 per year annual subscription.
1Weather
If you like your weather app dark and to the point, then 1Weather is a good choice. The black background makes the text easy on the eyes, although you can customize some elements of the view with landscapes, live weather views, or cats (it's still the Internet, after all).
The app also follows the new permissions model in Marshmallow, so you can agree specifically to each request for your location or other personal data.
The widget choices are good, especially with some larger ones that would stretch out on a big phone or tablet. If you want to nix the ads (there’s a fake Facebook notification that’s particularly annoying) it’s $1.99.
Yahoo Weather
If you enjoy being wowed by visuals, then you'll enjoy Yahoo Weather. If it's raining your screen will mimic a window that's dripping with water and condensation. Scroll down for a five- or ten-day forecast, maps, wind, pressure, and sunset information with a pleasant aesthetic.
Unfortunately there's no way to kill of the ads, and the slide-out menu carries plenty of Yahoo propoganda. But it's still a great option if you want a simple, and free, weather app.
Eye in the Sky Weather
Here’s another nice Android exclusive that you can show off to your iPhone-using friends. Eye in the Sky scraps all the extraneous detail and focuses in on the day’s forecast, with a quick swipe to see the next 48 hours or 15 days.
Pro tip: the first thing you’ll need to do in the U.S. is change the temperature unit to Fahrenheit, as the default is Celsius.
You’ll also find a good number of large and small widgets to bring that minimal goodness to your home screen.
The app is free, and a $1.80 in-app upgrade will remove the ads. While I still enjoy using Eye in the Sky, it’s worth noting the last update was in March of 2014.
Amazing experience =)))))
