Do you feel tired of getting rained on or sick of carrying a jacket when it is completely unnecessary? You need to check out our list of the best Android weather apps. Yep, right now you will get to the list of top 5 best free meteorological free apps and widgets for Android. And, what are we waiting for? Let's check them out right away.
Accuweather
Accuweather by Accuweather.com is a free option that gives you pretty much all of the information you need, including extended forecasts, hourly forecasts, and the app itself is also well designed. Other features include radar, Android Wear support, and the MinuteCast feature that lets you check on precipitation on a minute basis (estimated, of course). The application itself was redesigned and it looks really good. The widget support is there, although the widgets are a tad unimaginative.
Google Now
Google Now has been replacing a lot of things on Android phones and weather is one of them. The app will send you periodic weather updates, weather alerts, and you can even ask for the weather and it will show you. Opening Google Now almost always puts the weather right on top so you can see it at a glance. It’s not a dedicated weather app which means a lot of features, such as extended forecast or weather radars require a little digging, but this is a great option for people who already use Google Now that may just need to glance at the weather quickly. It also already comes on most Android devices.
WeatherBug
WeatherBug is a long time favorite of Android users and it was one of the first truly full-featured weather apps. Today, it’s totally free to use (without in-app purchases) and while that’s made some paid users unhappy, new users get to use WeatherBug free. It includes weather forecasts, severe weather alerts, widgets, and even stuff like live weather and traffic cams so you can see the weather. There is also a selection of weather widgets as a separate app to adorn your home screen that are pretty decent.
The Weather Channel
The Weather Channel has been a long-time authority on weather and on Android, it’s no different. This app became popular so quickly based on its namesake alone. That said, it actually is a pretty decent weather app with all the information you could need including forecasts, alerts, current weather, radar, and smaller stuff like wind forecast, pollen, and even Weather Channel videos so you can keep up on the latest weather news. There's a mechanic called mPoints which don’t really do much, but you can disable that in the settings to make the app run a bit smoother.
Yahoo Weather
Yahoo has been very aggressively improving their applications over the last few years and Yahoo Weather is a great example of their hard work paying off. It features beautiful design and graphics with the essential information, alerts, radars, and more. You can track up to 20 cities and even submit your photos by posting them on Flickr with the hashtag #projectweather. It’s uniquely designed and fun to use although those who want Material Design may not like the different direction that Yahoo used for their design.
