Of the majority of the weather apps available for download, this could easiest be the most pretty of all. First, you would notice this weather app have beautiful background images that are pulled from Flickr, which is not surprising given that it is a picture service by Yahoo. Yahoo weather app was Released in 2015 and the app has amassed a total of over 10M downloads and with an average rating of 4.4/5.

The free to use weather app allows you to check the latest weather hourly, 5-day and 10-day forecasts. It has a great layout which allows you to check multiple location weather. You scroll up and down to get weather information about one location and you scroll sideways for forecasts about multiple locations. The app also sends notification about the weather to users twice a day. The Yahoo weather app is available for free download from the play store for a little over 20MB.

2) AccuWeather

This is perhaps the most popular and most downloaded among the weather apps. Although the app is m0netized with ads which can be at times annoying due to the way it pops up. You can, however, get it all removed for a one-time purchase of $3.99.

The unique feature of this weather app is the Minutecast which shows you live precipitation minute by minute i.e you can know exactly how minutes more until it starts to rains.

3) Dark Sky

It has a well-deserved honour of being called one of the best weather apps for the Android folks. For starters, Dark sky features detailed weather forecasts which are shown on a minute basis as opposed to the hourly basis of most weather apps.

It also has a radar view in an animated version that will definitely appeal to fans out there. Some downside to the app include the fact that to access premium features, you would part ways with $2.99 yearly and the app is only available to users in the US, UK, Ireland and Puerto Rico.

4) 1Weather

At the instant you launch the 1Weatherr app, you will notice a difference in its design compares to other apps on this list. Most weather apps follow the same design pattern but such is not the case of this app. The design and neat user interface help to select and track weather conditions in 12 different locations.

Other weather metrics are also available just like you will find on other android weather apps. The app provides the option to get a 12-week weather forecast also known as the PRECISIONCAST which means you can make plans for up to three months and know the weather condition in mind. For users in the US, you get to receive notifications when there is severe weather condition through the National Weather Service.
