The Weather Channel

If you need to know what the weather's going to be like in your city or one that you'll visit soon, The Weather Channel is the perfect app for you. It includes up-to-the-minute data on a number of factors that influence the weather in the coming hours. It even includes different tools that will tell you anything from the position of the clouds to the wind speed or the UV index. What's more, anyone can report the current weather in their city, improving the data, which other users can then consult.

The Weather Channel forecasts tell you about the next 36 hours, or you can condense them for an overview of the next 10 days. You can also personalize it by choosing a particular area – either your current location or a favorite place – to get weather alerts for.

Moreover, this comprehensive application provides a news section on daily weather and incidents for the next few days, plus the ability to add widgets to your startup tab so you can always have an idea of what the weather will be like over the next few hours.
