There is a wide range of weather apps on Windows Phone. Here we show you 3 of the best that you can currently find.

Windows Phone's own weather app

Microsoft's weather app "Bing Wetter" offers all the necessary functions and also looks good.

The current, hourly and daily forecasts for 10 days are clearly divided into pages. The data are mostly correct. In the background of the main view you see an image that gives an impression of the current weather situation.
Maps of local temperature and precipitation values give you a good overview of the weather.
The interface is quick and easy to use. Even the live tile on the start screen cuts a fine figure and shows a picture in the background that describes the current weather situation.
The app receives the data mainly from AccuWeather and Foreca, but also from other providers. For ski areas there is also additional information for winter sports enthusiasts.

VieatherG is a simple weather app.

The color used can be freely personalized. The live tile remains transparent, which is practical for users of Windows 8.1. You can also design the live tile yourself.
You can get the data either from Accuweather or Weather.com, but the app usually runs more smoothly with Accuweather.
A clear graphic shows the view for the next few days.

Weather View is supported in the free version by advertising. The full version costs € 1.29.

Weather View looks great and lets you choose between 11 wallpapers. Through graphics you can quickly see whether the sun will shine tomorrow or whether it is raining.
You can select which view you want to be displayed at startup in the settings so that you get the information that interests you most.
For each day you can call up the meteogram, which gives a precise overview of cloudiness, temperature, air pressure and wind directions over the day.
