Top 5 Weather Apps for Android Phone

These days it’s always great to keep an eye out for the unforeseen weather conditions before leaving for home or office. So I have compiled a list of top 5 weather apps for Android phones and tablets.

I don’t know if it’s just me or everyone noticed that the weather this year has been really very unpredictable. You leave home in full bright sunlight and all of a sudden it starts raining. Few times it happened to me that I left without a umbrella and when I got back home, I was worried if my phone is gonna survive the brutal rain. Thankfully it survived. But then I decided to always keep a plastic bag with me leaving home when there are chances of thunderstorm or heavy rain and keep an eye on weather conditions.

Well, I love this app. Not because it’s great in predicting the weather conditions but because of its interface. Although Yahoo weather is not that efficient where I live in predicting weather conditions. But it has great interface as it displays stunning pictures from flickr of your current city or location in the background. The background updates frequently. Yahoo weather also displays satellite picture of your area if storm is closing in. Another great thing about this app is that it shows the sunset and dawn timing. Yahoo weather also shows a windmill on the interface. if the wind is strong you would see the windmill blowing fast opposite to the direction of wind. So you can estimate the speed of wind and its direction.
