It supports Apple Watch, so you can get live forecasts and weather alerts to your wrist, and has homepage widgets for iOS devices. WeatherBug is a popular free iPhone weather app that pulls data from 10,000+ professional-grade weather stations to generate accurate forecasts at over 2.6 million locations worldwide. Premium costs $4.99 per month, or $29.99 per year. There is also an optional premium plan which removes those ads, and adds advanced radar and 15-minute forecast details. This means that forecasts will be consistently accurate, whether you’re viewing local details, national storm trackers, or the likelihood of sunshine on an upcoming vacation. The Weather Channel is the world’s leading weather provider, but more importantly, it’s also the most accurate, at least according to a ForecastWatch study (pdf). The app is fully Dark Mode-compatible, and on devices running iOS 14 or later, you’ll get the option of using homepage widgets that provide a quick overview of the weather without opening the app at all. You’ll get sunrise and sunset times and pollen and allergen forecasts, for instance, along with air quality data and a live hurricane/storm tracker. The app has a handful of features that help set it apart from the competition. It offers 15-day forecasts, live Doppler radar maps, weather alerts, storm trackers, and plenty more, all without charge.

There’s plenty of competition for the title of best free weather app for iPhone, but the Weather Channel’s Weather makes a strong case.
