There’s no denying how convenient it can be to have a weather forecast in the palm of your hand, but it’s not often that the forecast is accurate. Several 43 team members pointed out this morning that their phones were showing a 40% chance of rain, meanwhile it had already been raining for a couple hours. It doesn’t seem like rocket science; if it’s already raining, the forecast should probably update to 100% chance of rain. We decided to do a little research on the best weather apps on the market. Time Tech, the technology section of TIME Magazine online, posted Best Weather Apps for iPhone and Android a couple months back that highlighted a few of the best weather apps. WeatherBug This app offers the largest selection of real-time weather sensors around the world. Provides the industry's most accurate forecasts locally and globally. Users will benefit from WeatherBug's advanced early warning system, and super fast updates. Some key features include Slide-side navigation, Spark Alerts, live weather cams, and helpful toolbars that allow you to navigate through different types of forecasts. AccuWeather - Weather for Life Voted “Best iPhone App” by the 2012 Mobie awards. This app provides thorough new coverage with an interface that is slightly cleaner than that of WeatherBug. It has tons of cool features, including Push notifications for severe weather alerts in the United States, customizable lifestyle forecasts, home screen widget that displays a two-day forecast, social media sharing, and much more. Yahoo! Weather Though not as comprehensive as WeatherBug and AccuWeather, Yahoo! Weather shows you what you need to know and has the most visually appealing format. Winner of a 2013 Apple Design award, this app provides beautiful photos photos that match your location, time of day, and current weather conditions. Other features include satellite, heat and wind maps, as well as sunrise and sunset times.
