Sun weather app review: minimalist forecasting

Introduction

While developers of weather forecasting apps often tend to cram a heap of unnecessary features into their releases, sun weather for iPhone and iPad sets the precedent for simplicity and functionality by providing no-frills, no-nonsense weather reporting in a slightly more palatable manner.

The best iPad apps for weather

I really like the way the developer of this app has made a clear effort to provide functionality and slick design while at the same time not getting too carried away with the amount of detail or features on offer.

While this app isn’t necessarily suitable for those of you who want highly technical meteorological analyses, I think it will suit the layperson just fine.

Here Comes the Sun

This is a great little app that provides you with a basic weather forecast for your locale without the unnecessary clutter that can sometimes clog up similar developments, and by using your device’s integrated GPS you can receive forecasts for your local area within seconds.

The best iPhone apps for weather

sun weather seems to be primarily targeted at U.S. residents as it sources the majority of its data from U.S.-based weather stations. More than 42,000 weather stations across the country are utilized to ensure you have access to local and accurate information.

And I Say, "It's Alright!"

Having said that, sun weather is still suitable for people around the world as a further 29,000 weather stations are used to provide international weather information, so please don’t let the America-centric content deter you.
