Best apps for weather tracking while traveling on the road

Introduction

If you’re like me, then you probably have a ton of apps on your phone. After all, there are so many great options out there that it’s hard to keep track of them all! However, when it comes to travel, I find myself using only one app for everything from tracking my budget to finding the best place for lunch: my weather app. Whether you’re planning a short road trip with friends or embarking on an extended vacation abroad, these apps will help make sure that your travels go off without a hitch—and that includes staying safe in unpredictable weather conditions.

Yahoo! Weather

Yahoo! Weather is a free app that features a simple interface, a radar map, and seven-day forecast. The app also includes severe weather alerts for locations you are traveling to. If you’re looking for something quick and easy to use while on the road, Yahoo! Weather is a great option.

The Weather Channel

The Weather Channel app gives you access to 24/7 weather data from local sources, as well as severe weather alerts. You can get current conditions and hourly forecasts, see what the weather will be like in your location or somewhere else in the world, get live radar images of clouds and precipitation, view Doppler radar animations showing how storms are moving around you, share information about the weather with friends via social media or email, and even set up a personalized newsfeed that includes sky conditions from around the country.

Dark Sky

Dark Sky is the best weather app for tracking precipitation. The free version of this app provides you with the basics, including current conditions and a five-day forecast. It also shows you the next hour of rainfall in your area and displays an hourly breakdown of precipitation over the next 24 hours. If you choose to upgrade to Dark Sky’s premium service, which costs $4 per year or $24 for a lifetime subscription, it will also provide you with a seven-day forecast as well as notifications about approaching storms.

Dark Sky is great for tracking storms because it uses satellite data from NOAA and transmits that data directly from its servers rather than relying on third-party sources like The Weather Channel or AccuWeather (which tend to be less reliable).

Weather Channel Max

The Weather Channel Max app offers weather forecasts for up to 10 days and detailed forecasts for specific locations. It also provides a lot of information about the weather, including precipitation probability, wind speed, humidity, pressure and more. You can use this app on your mobile device or desktop.

The app has a lot of features that make it popular among users:

  • The 10-day forecast is presented in easy-to-read graphics so you can see what to expect over the next week at a glance.
  • Detailed hourly forecasts are available for specific locations around the world. These detailed forecasts are updated every hour throughout the day or night depending on where you live in relation to time zones worldwide (depending on whether Daylight Savings Time applies). This helps travelers plan their daily activities with greater accuracy since they know when conditions will change from one moment to the next while they’re out exploring different places across town or state lines!

RainAware

RainAware is a weather app that tracks rainfall, severe weather, wind speed and other conditions. It also allows users to set up alerts for specific locations or areas of interest.

Users can choose from categories like “rainfall,” “severe weather,” “wind speed” and more to get information on the current conditions at their location or any selected city around the world.

In addition to delivering basic data on temperature, precipitation levels and more using its own sensors in addition to NOAA data it receives via satellite feeds (if available), RainAware also features a comprehensive taxonomy system for severe weather events like hail storms or tornadoes based on cloud type characteristics such as size/shape/diameter; intensity level (F0-F5); how long it lasts; whether there’s rotation present within the clouds themselves; whether lightning strikes occurred during this event – all with detailed explanations provided by NOAA meteorologists who have provided commentary when possible.”

AccuWeather

AccuWeather

AccuWeather is one of the most popular apps, but it also has the most accurate and detailed weather forecasting. It contains all the features you need, including alerts for severe weather, video reports from its meteorologists, and detailed satellite imagery and radar.

AccuWeather offers a free 30-day trial period for their paid plans so you can see if it’s right for you before committing to an annual subscription fee that starts at $3.99 per month (for basic features).

With these apps you can track the weather even on the road.

With these apps you can track the weather even on the road.

  • Yahoo! Weather
  • The Weather Channel (Free, iOS/Android)
  • Dark Sky ($3.99, iOS) This app has a unique way of reporting: It tells you how much rain or snow is expected to fall in the next hour, then another estimate after that hour passes. It also tells you exactly when it will start raining and when it will stop and how hard the rain will be coming down during that time frame. If you’re looking for an accurate prediction today but not tomorrow or next week, this might be your best bet.
  • Weather Channel Max ($3.99 per month or $33 per year; iOS only). AccuWeather’s premium app offers more detailed forecasts than its free counterpart—with radar maps for precipitation and satellite imagery for clouds—in addition to hurricane forecasts with animations of storm movements over time periods ranging from one day up through 15 days out (for example), an eight-day rainfall forecast map for anywhere in North America and beyond (including Hawaii), plus weekly coastal flood threat maps by state provided by NOAA’s National Water Level Observation Network (NWLON). The subscription cost includes access not just to reports on what kind of weather is happening now but also long-range predictions like tornados seven days away and hurricanes three weeks out as well as severe thunderstorm watches/warnings 24 hours prior so travelers know whether they need to avoid certain routes altogether due to possible lightning strikes nearby them.”
