OpenWeather

Weather information at a glance

OpenWeather is a weather app for people who want current conditions and forecasts alongside details such as temperature, wind and humidity. It offers an hourly outlook and a daily forecast, so it can help with both near-term plans and a broader look at the week ahead.

The forecast view includes precipitation information, with a short-range chart for rain or snow, as well as an extended outlook covering up to 48 hours by the hour and eight days by the day. Other reported details include UV index and visibility. How useful that level of detail is will depend on whether you want more than a simple temperature and rain check.

Settings and local reports

Measurement settings let you choose units for temperature, distance and precipitation. That can make the figures easier to compare with the conventions you use day to day. The app also includes a way for users to report or confirm local weather conditions, adding on-the-ground observations to its weather information.

These options make OpenWeather a reasonable fit for users who like to check several conditions before heading out, or who want a longer forecast in the same app. If you only need a quick glance at the temperature, some of its extra measurements may be more than you need.

What the listing tells you

OpenWeather has a 3.88 rating from 3,070 ratings and 100,000+ installs. Those figures give you a sense of its current reach and how users have rated it, but they do not say whether its forecasts will suit your location or preferences. Consider the detail it provides and the available units when deciding if it fits your routine.
