Need a better weather app

[hennbell]

I checked the weather on my iPhone, -12C and a little snow., all good lets go.

In the shielded city streets all is good but as I get to rural roads the wind kicks up and it feels like I am going backwards. Is there a weather app that includes wind speed and direction?

I think on Android I have weather.com/weather channel/accuweather but tend to use BBC weather, which is a bit vague internationally.

http://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/ is great on a PC, no idea if they do an app or how it works in iPhone browser.

I find forecast.co.uk to be pretty good, it has android and iphone apps.

There is only one weather app worth getting. It's WeatherPro by Meteogroup. You'll have to pay a little, but it's super accurate and by far the most reliable. The rest are a waste of time, except for the met office app, which is a close second to WeatherPro.

+1 for windfinder,its pretty accurate.

Our local scientific weather station is on line, try to find one near you, they're very accurate.

WeatherPro - I agree its the best. I've been using it for over 2 years now. Very (respectfully) accurate local hourly rain and wind predictions - my wife uses it on the iPad in timing the rain AND wind when drying the laundry out in the garden! As always, remember no app is 100% accurate though, but I've tended to rely more on WeatherPro more than the weather man!

I really like the rain radar - not only can you see the difference between rain, snow, hail, sleet, etc., but you can step back in time to see how the rain was moving over the last few hours. That's super useful in working out what is coming, or likely to be coming.

I do want to plug the MetOffice app though. That's the best free option. WeatherPro is better, but it requires purchasing the app and paying for premium data, neither of which are that expensive.

It's not a better app you need, it's better weather!
