Hey, it's Ryan from Ryan and Kellie's Weather Discussion on Facebook. If you are not already a member, Click HERE to join our group.
I get asked quite a bit which app I use to follow the weather. However, you can't choose just one because they don't have the same features. Here's a list based on my personal opinion.
1. NOAA Weather Free
This app takes the forecast straight from The National Weather Service. It gives you a 7 day forecast. It has a pretty good radar. I also like it's hourly features. I use it to see a graph of wind speed, wind chill, temps etc. Very easy to use.
2. WeatherBug
This app has some really good features but it also has some flaws. I absolutely love this app for current temperature. It finds the closest weather station to your location. Typically it finds the closest school with a weather station. This is more accurate because big name apps like The Weather Channel and Accuweather go by the nearest airport. Chances are you live closer to a school than an airport. It gives a 10 day forecast. This is where the flaw comes in. It's not really good on predicting precipitation. But if you want an accurate temp and a pretty good radar, download this app.
3. MyRadar
This app is awesome when it comes to tracking precipitation. It's one of the best radars I've seen.
4. Windy
This app has a feature where you can compare the weather models. This allows you to come up with a your own prediction based on model data.
If you enjoy looking at weather models to come up with your own forecast, here are a few websites.
1. www.weather.us
2. www.tropicaltidbits.com
3. www.pivotalweather.com
They are all free with tons of parameters.
I hope this helps you out. I follow the models and post the information in my group. I look forward to tracking snow with you this winter!
Hey, can you give this a SHARE?
Apex Weather is a new weather app from the developers of Apex Launcher, one of the best Android launchers. This weather app is above average. You get your basic stuff like the current, daily, and hourly forecasts. It also includes a weather map, severe weather alerts, and some of the better clock and weather widgets we've seen in a while. It even shows less common stuff like sunrise and sunset times, air pressure, UV index, and more. You can get weather forecasts in the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia along with a rather bland news blog if you want one. The ads can be a tad annoying, but otherwise this weather app checks all of the boxes. You can also remove the ads with a single $5.99 payment.
