5 Best Weather Apps for Android Tablets: These Are Our Favourites

As my grandma used to say so beautifully: There is no bad weather, only inappropriate clothing. There is certainly something to this somewhat clichéd saying, but to determine the right clothing for the upcoming day, one thing is especially important: check the weather report!

You can either ask your trusted weather frog or wait for the weather report on TV or in the newspaper. However, the best and fastest way is with the right weather app – we present you the best weather apps for Android and reveal the qualities that have won our hearts. Spoiler alert: All of them reliably display the current and upcoming weather.

But that’s not all. Modern weather apps also boast a sleek user interface, fast operation, and in-depth information about the weather, such as interesting scientific articles and videos. Good weather apps also provide a lot of additional information about wind, air pressure, dew point, UV index, visibility, and much more.

All the weather apps presented here have been tested and approved on our tablet. So, don’t let the next rain, storm, or bad weather stop you; simply check your favorite weather app in advance and dress accordingly.
