Ten Great Free Android Weather Apps

There are hundreds of great free Android weather apps that more than make up for the lack of paid weather apps in the Android market. The fact that there are more free Android weather apps is a great thing for those of us who like to thoroughly inspect an app before choosing to make it part of our permanent collection. This list is quite a diverse one with many different specialties. Here are ten of the best free Android weather apps around.
Weather
This aptly named free Android weather app, developed by Michael Bachman, is one I would recommend to those who just want a plain and simple, easy-to-use app. It's fast and very reliable; this is an app to try if all you want is a simple forecast and not many other bells and whistles.
iMap Weather
This app provides radar images and forecasts. It can also give you detailed current weather conditions (for local and international locations). If you choose to check out this weather app, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the great visuals!
Moon Phase
A very simple free Android weather app developed by Udell Enterprises, Inc, it obviously shows you the particular phase of the moon for the given data. Although this app lacks some additional add-ons to make it truly spectacular, it does exactly what it promises quite efficiently.
Snowstorm weather widget
This is another very specific free Android weather app. Snowstorm gives you forecasts regarding snowstorms and beyond. If you're like me and you live in snow country, this is definitely an app I would suggest for when you're out and about during the snow season.
Radar Now!
If you want an app that will visually display the current weather through radar, Radar Now! Is your best free Android app option. Simple and fast, Radar Now! gives you what you need without any hassle.
AccuWeather.com
This is a GPS-based weather update app and is great for getting worldwide forecasts. As you might have guessed, this app was developed by the same people behind Accuweather.com, so you'll be sure the information you get is accurate and reliable and that this app will only get better!
Weather Widget - Free
Although there is a paid version of this free Android weather app, this one remains to be quite adequate in giving quick and reliable weather updates. This is one of the weather apps that will do just about anything for you. Trust me, this app would be a great addition to your Android phone. To enhance this app, get the Weather Widget Forecast Addon, another free app that does just what it says. If you try the Weather Widget and like it, download the free Forecast Addon and you'll have a winning combination!
WeatherBug
Another great free Android weather app that offers local weather updates as well as just about anything else you'd want to know about general weather. The updates are accurate and the add-ons (including maps and videos) are amazing. This is one of the very few free Android apps that are up there in a league of their own.
The Weather Channel
Easily the best free Android weather app available in the Android Market; it's also the most popular Android app in the weather category. The official Weather Channel app provides weather updates straight from one of the most respected weather sources. You can set a default location to get regular updates without doing anything else. The last thing I'll say about this app: you should download this app for your Android phone.
I own the Android Apps Finder site where you can find every Android app.
The main goal of the site is to provide everyone an easy way to read about all of the Android apps. Go straight to the Android News and Weather Apps section where you'll find all the paid and free Android Weather Apps!
