WeatherBug

If you want a weather forecast, you can just do a quick search on the Internet. However, if you want a more accurate forecast, with more information, then you should turn to a specialized application, such as WeatherBug. This piece of software can provide you with all the information you need about your local weather conditions. What's more, WeatherBug can also notify you of storms or other events you may want to prepare for, which makes it quite valuable, especially for farmers and people who live in areas that are frequently affected by extreme weather conditions.

WeatherBug is compatible with all modern Windows systems and it also comes as a mobile app, for Android and iOS. Downloading and installing the application is a simple operation, which takes only a few seconds to complete. It works straight out of the box, so you don't have to install and configure any special tools or services.

While the user interface could do without the in-your-face ad for its mobile app version, its general design and controls are quite comfortable. The latest weather details are presented right in front of you and the best part is that you only need to specify your location. Of course, you can select any other city in the world as well and the application will remember your cities and make it easier to select them in the future.

The weather details that are displayed on the home screen include the temperature, with highs and lows, dew point, humidity, pressure, sunrise and sunset times, as well as gusts of wind and their direction. Additionally, you can switch between different tabs, to see hourly and 10-day forecasts, as well as a more detailed view of the current conditions. Another useful feature is the notifications system, which lets you know if there is anything bad heading your way. What's more, the software lets you enable and disable notifications for individual cities, so you won't get alerts for areas that are far away from you.

WeatherBug is not limited to displaying just weather information. It also comes with several maps views, for clouds, humidity, pressure, temperature and winds. What's more, these maps are animated, so you can see the evolution of weather fronts for a short period of time. Additionally, the software makes things more interesting by providing you with photos and live cams from the currently selected city. You can also find links to important weather-related news articles on the same user interface.

When it comes to weather forecasts, WeatherBug provides you with much more information than any reports on websites or on TV.
