“Opening this story with a weather-related adage or aphorism would have been great, if Mother Nature’s approval ratings weren’t currently quite so low,” John Patrick Pullen writes for TIME Magazine. “Things have gotten so bad for the topic of weather in general that Game of Thrones has even stopped warning its fans that ‘winter is coming.'”
“But guess what — it’s here, and we’re all white walkers. So don’t bother making chit-chat by talking about the weather, tap about it instead,” Pullen writes. “No matter the conditions, these ten apps will keep you covered, because believe it or not, it can actually get worse than this.”
• Dark Sky
• Hurricane Tracker
• NOAA Radar Pro
• NOAA Snow Forecast
• Quakefeed
• Storm
• Storm Shield
• Tornado by American Red Cross
• Weather Underground
• Weathertron

MacDailyNews Take: If you don’t have it yet, you’ll also want the free Yahoo Weather.
Intellicast – and its new iteration, Storm – definitely deserve to be on this list. JMO.
For UK users, the BBC Weather app rocks.
These, of course, are only useful in North America…
Why not just go to the free Forecast.io website? It’s the engine behind Dark Sky.
WeatherBug does me well.
I picked up on WeatherBug from Adam Engst (of TidBITS fame). It’s my personal fave now as well. But I do have a pile of specialized weather apps as well: NOAH stuff, tracking hurricanes and typhoons…
Noah. When he starts building a giant boat, you know…
Correct spelling: NOAA. Sorry.
I’m still using weather underground classic website and their Who is Hot App. I like the radar so much better in those versions. The underlying map is done in nice variations of black and gray. Then the actual storm overlays are very easy to see.
Not sure what they were thinking with using color maps and then color radar. Really tough to see.
Been using Weather Bug for years. It is my go to app for weather.

WeatherMate should’ve been in this list. It provides hyperlocal weather forecasts and its weather maps and travel planner features work like a charm.
