Alexa, will it rain today? How many times did you ask this question to your voice assistant or checked your weather app on your mobile device or smartwatch before leaving your home? Could be hundreds of times. Weather apps are the need of time and being used worldwide. If you have an app idea and want to get it developed, we recommend you to have a thorough read to the must-have features for your weather app.    

Must-have weather application features:

App notifications: How about sending a notification to your app users about weather updates? Well, we got notifications to do that task for you. This is the key feature for your weather which enables you can send push notifications or real-time notifications to send various alerts to your app users.

Appealing Visualisation: Weather is all about looks and feel. Make your weather app more personalised with appealing visualization. 

Timelapse: This feature enables the users to go through historical and future weather predictions across the world and different time zones. Users can travel back to the past or see the prediction for the near future.

Predictions: This is the key feature for a weather forecast app. The rain forecast app feature shows the percentage of rain possibilities. It also has ‘cloudy’, ‘partly cloudy’, and ‘very cloudy’ indicators to provide accurate information so that the users stay safe.

Timing: This feature tells your app users sunrise and sunset time and Moonrise time that makes your weather app complete. 

Humidity & Visibility: This is not an essential feature for your weather app but can add value to your app if you add it to the list. Users tend to use these features during the monsoon and winter season.  

Weather News: Again not essential but could be a win-win if you bring local weather news to your app users. People love to read what is happening in their surroundings when they tap on their weather app.
