Best iPhone weather apps for iOS
The apps below are available in the App Store and generally work with any iPhone and iPad. If you have an addition to this list, let us know in a comment!
1. Storm alarm
Buenalarm works exactly as the name suggests. The app warns of approaching showers in your area, so you know if you can go out, better wait and need an umbrella. Buienalarm works in the Netherlands, Belgium and parts of Germany and offers a map showing how the showers are developing. In addition to your current location, you can also set two other areas; ideal if you always want to know what the weather situation is like at home and at work. By integrating with the Apple Watch you can check the weather everywhere. In our opinion, Buienalarm is the ideal app to prevent a wet suit.
2. Hello Weather
Hello Weather is one such app that does everything right. The design is clear and beautiful at the same time, but does not fall short for users who want to view extensive weather information. This way you can see everything you want to know about the weather now and in the future in graphs and tables. The fine night mode is ideal for those times when you go out in the evening and you don’t want to be blinded by your own screen.
3. Weather Online
Weeronline has been a hugely popular weather app for years. Here you can see at a glance what the weather is currently like, and what the current weather forecast is for the coming days. Here you can also immediately see what the forecast is in terms of precipitation in the next few hours. You can see the weather forecast for the parts of the day and the expected precipitation and sun forecast in the coming hours. If you scroll further down, you can also see what the expectation is for the rest of the week. Based on a rating between 1 and 10, the app lets you know how suitable the weather is for a particular activity, such as biking, hiking, or even water sports.

4. Rainfall radar
Buienradar is another app that is useful for keeping an eye on the weather of the moment. A map of the Netherlands appears on the screen, over which (in the case of rain) showers slide like blue spots. Because Buienradar can also show satellite photos, it is also easy to check how cloudy or sunny it is at the current location or destination. Especially for the hay fever season, there is also a pollen radar with a separate map.
5. RainToday
With a handy compass at the top of your screen, RainToday not only shows when it will rain, but also how long it will last. Because of this compass you often do not even have to open the extensive radar and you know enough after a few seconds. The app makes it even easier when you add it to the widget screen on your iPhone. With a colored circle you can see at a glance whether it is smart to take an umbrella with you. You can also set notifications so that the app warns you up to 60 minutes in advance that rain is coming, based on your location.
6. Carrot Weather
Carrot Weather was invented for anyone who could use some humor in their weather app. The app is a reliable source of weather information and is filled to the brim with cynical statements and lame humor. This is not only reflected in the app itself but also in the handy widget. This makes Carrot Weather by far the nicest weather app with a nice design. The Apple Watch app also has a handy complication, so you can give it a permanent place on your watch face.
7. The Weather in the Netherlands
Weather in the Netherlands is one of the most complete Dutch weather apps and includes a rainfall radar, forecasts for today’s and tomorrow’s weather and a weather and coastal alarm. In addition, precipitation, sunshine and wind power maps can be viewed, as well as sharp and up-to-date satellite images. The paid version of Het Weer in Nederland adds widgets that you can place on one of the home screens.
