3340 Weather app review: dedicated weather forecasting for northern Alabama

Reviews

Introduction

This is a full-featured weather forecasting app which has been brought to you by Alabama's ABC 33/40 to provide a dedicated meteorological service that you can use every day of the week to make a fair assessment of the weather, whatever the weather!

The best iPad apps for weather

I would say that 3340 Weather is a fairly run-of-the-mill weather app, and it follows a very similar formula to many comparable apps within the genre.

While the developer is far from winning any points for originality, this iPhone app should be more than sufficient for residents of northern Alabama who are looking for a more localized weather forecasting service.

Dedicated Weather Forecasting for Northern Alabama

The Map section of 3340 Weather essentially doubles up as the main home screen for the app, providing a basic overview of the weather for today, yesterday, and tomorrow, as well as a rundown of the current temperature, humidity, and wind speed and direction.

The best Presidents’ Day app for iPad

To ensure you’re getting information that is relevant to your local area, I’d recommend tapping the house icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen. From here you’ll be able to use your device’s built-in GPS to find your current location within a few seconds.

Heading back to the Map section, you’ll be able to view live radar map imagery for your region, providing coverage of rain, snow, and other weather fronts as they make their way across your area of the country.

 

View 10 Days' of Weather Forecasts

If you need a little more detail, I think you’ll find that the 10 Day and Hourly sections will do the trick nicely. Tapping any given day within the 10 Day section provides a detailed breakdown of things such as UV Index, sunrise and sunset times, chance of precipitation, and details of the coming evening.

The Hourly section, on the other hand, provides a more extensive look at each of the coming 24 hours, detailing variances in temperature, and wind speed and direction, and displaying a basic overview of any major changes to the weather conditions.
