The best weather apps at a glance

1. Rain alarm weather apps

Buienalarm works exactly as the name suggests. The app warns you of upcoming downpours in your area, so you know whether you can go on the road or better wait and need an umbrella. Buienalarm works in the United States, Belgium, and parts of Germany and shows a map showing how the showers develop.

In addition to your current location, you can also set other areas; ideal if you always want to know how the weather situation is at home and at work. Also useful is the widget that you can place on your home screen. Buienalarm is in our opinion the ideal app to prevent a wet suit.

2. WeatherPro weather apps

WeatherPro weather appsWeatherPro is a reliable option if you want to stay informed about the weather at home and abroad. The app provides quick insight into the current situation, shows predictions for the coming days and contains graphs for those who want to know more. You can also enable notifications and link the app to a Netatmo weather station.

If you want an hourly forecast instead of three hours, you must, unfortunately, take out a paid subscription (2.99 euros per three months). The advantage of this is that you also gain access to the paid functions of other MeteoGroup apps, including MeteoEarth and RainToday.

Some users complain that Weeronline is not the most accurate weather app, but we have not had any problems with that. Weeronline warns on time and gives weather advice on what you need.

6. KNMI

Actually, KNMI is richly late with its own app – the offer of weather services for Android is already pretty big by now. Yet this app is a good option for anyone looking for weather forecasts. Not only because the KNMI-app is advert-free, but because other services often get their information from the organization.

When you open the app, you will see the current weather at a glance, including a rain radar, wind speed, and wind direction. So you know not only whether it is raining, but also whether you can expect something later today. The app displays information based on your current location or for your chosen municipalities.
