Apple Watch weather apps can help you prepare for metrological conditions you can’t otherwise easily predict.
You can use these apps to determine if it’s likely to be sunny so you can wear light clothes, if it’s likely to rain to you can bring an umbrella where you go, or if it’s the time to prepare for a more serious condition.
The native weather app by Apple is the best by far since the coming of watchOS 11, especially now that it gives you more weather metrics than before.
With highly impressive stats such as humidity, precipitation, ultraviolet index, and air quality index just a click away, Apple’s native weather app is all you need to stay up to date with the current meteorological conditions.
However, there are alternative apps you can use on your Apple Watch to monitor the weather in your area, and they are just as good. The best ones are Forecast Bar, CARROT Weather, Hello Weather, and WeatherBug.
1. Forecast Bar
Forecast Bar is the only Apple Watch weather app that predicts weather for the next 5 days.
The app lets you know if the sky is cloudy, rainy, or all sunshine and rainbow in your location. And it uses a multi-city widget to display the current weather condition of up to four locations at once.
With Forecast Bar, you can:
- See weather stats in a graphical format for easy visualization of different data points.
- Configure up to 14 unique data points and customize push notifications for weather conditions that are important to you.
- Access, customize, and apply over 100 weather complications, which are compatible with most watch faces.
Forecast Bar sends you notifications for earthquakes, extreme temperatures, beautiful sunsets, sunrise, and rain if you’re a premium user. Even the local live forecasts are spot on.
Because Forecast Bar provides hourly and daily forecast, the app can be quite helpful in planning your day.
2. CARROT Weather
CARROT Weather keeps on getting better with every update. The visual organization is on point, the weather predictions are reliable, and the essential features are free to access.
The app gives you a low-down on the current weather conditions, hourly weather updates, and daily weather predictions. Moreover, you can unlock at least 100 secret locations by following clues.
CARROT Weather sends notifications for weather, precipitation, and lightning. This information helps you analyze conditions outdoors, so you can plan your day and put safety first before everything else.
You can personalize CARROT Weather’s interface if you’re a premium member so that the app presents meteorological information in a personalized format. You even have access to maps with next-hour radar for easy condition visualization.
3. Hello Weather
Hello Weather has a stunning user interface that presents weather predictions that matter the most. It gives you current and future predictions, so you can better prepare yourself to handle anything Mother Nature throws at you.
You’ll love Hello Weather because it provides accurate information, which is what you need to brace the patterns outdoors and indoors.
For example, you’ll see a rain icon on the watch to indicate a possible downpour if the condition outside changes to rainy and a sun icon if the condition outdoors changes to sunny.
Hello Weather gets its data from Apple Weather, AccuWeather, and The Weather Company. You can switch data sources and compare the predictions presented by each source.
Like Forecast Bar, Hello Weather has customizable home widgets that you can use to display important information for quick access in one place. Additionally, the app supports multiple themes, including dark, light, warm, hot, and cold, so you can tweak its look and feel and even save on battery.
4. WeatherBug
WeatherBug provides current temperature and sky condition, allowing you to know whether it’s cloudy, rainy, or sunny outdoors.
With WeatherBug, you can:
- See predictions on how the weather is likely to be every four hours.
- Get an automatic, real-time log with relevant values and icons whenever the app detects changes in the current weather condition.
