#226 Daily dose : What the forecast


Weather forecasts are usually a bit dull – you might think that’s unavoidable – but What The Forecast?!! disagrees, as it provides a sentence of humorous commentary alongside every forecast.

There are well over 6,000 of these humorous phrases in the app, and you’ll always get one appropriate to the current forecast, and it will usually be quite amusingly negative. Musing even on sunny days, for example, that the weather will probably be rubbish tomorrow.

The personality doesn’t end there, as What The Forecast?!! also has animated backgrounds appropriate to the current weather, and it has all the usual information, such as wind speed, 7 day forecasts, sunrise and sunset times, chance of rain and more.

The core app is free, but for $1.99/£1.89 you can remove adverts, while a separate purchase of the same amount will let you add a weather widget to your home screen.
