Beyond sticking my arm out of the window, an Android weather app is the best bet for predicting how warm, cold, or wet the air is likely to be during the day. However, not all apps are the same. These products vary in many ways, from the sources they use and the design philosophies they employ to the extent of the information they offer. There truly is a weather app for everyone, and after using my fair share, I’ve grown fond of more than a few.

While I certainly have a main app that’s my preferred port of call, I keep several others installed for redundancy, cross-referencing, or tracking particular events. Here’s a list of my favorite Android weather apps.

Meteogram Weather Widget

I’ve used Meteogram Weather Widget for years now, and while it looks and feels unlike any other app, I’ve grown to love its uniqueness.

As its name suggests, it displays all weather data on a graph, also known as a meteogram. Time runs along the X-axis, while the Y-axis displays a weather metric or condition’s value. This makes it easy to view multiple weather conditions at a single point in time and get a holistic view of the weather at a glance hours ahead.

While seemingly rigid, the app’s design allows for multiple possibilities. You can have specific widgets that span a short period with rapid data updates, or a much longer, general look at conditions weeks in advance. Or, why not both!?

What powers all of this is Meteogram’s huge selection of sources that focus on a range of data, frequent updates, or specific indicators, like wet bulb temperatures. You can choose between raw models, national weather services, and proprietary solutions like Visual Crossing and Foreca. This means that wherever you are, you’ll likely find a highly accurate forecast or lengthier outlook.
