Now, weather updates don't end just by checking the temperature. Information about AQI, allergens in the environment, and when and where rain, storms, gusty winds, or snowfall are occurring has also become essential. This is where various weather apps providing real-time information are gaining popularity.

Whether iOS or Android, apps like 'The Weather Channel' and 'AccuWeather' give you temperature and AQI along with how the actual warmth might feel, personalised by area. Providing hourly weather change updates is also their special feature. If needed, you can get weather forecasts fifteen days in advance. 'Weather Bug' gives storm forecasts the earliest. OneWeather provides weather updates through interactive radar maps. You also get warning messages according to user-set conditions. Local weather news from around the world is easily available live on the Meteomatics Weather app.

Besides this, many new apps have come to the market that show air quality, UV index, or chances of rain more precisely. Users can set alerts according to their preference, such as warnings for excessive heat, high pollution, heavy rain, or lightning. Many apps also have satellite view, live storm tracking, and real-time notifications, which help more in daily planning.
