I am obsessed with finding the best weather app. Yes, I have stopped watching the local news and the weather on TV so I need a good source for weather. My needs or functionality depends on the time of year. In the fall, winter and spring, I am primarily watching temperatures and precipitation. Most weather apps can easily provide this information. In the summer I am watching the temperature and the radar. It is the radar functionality that is crap. Because of climate change, the summer storms in Colorado have began a game of "not it" - meaning let someone else get the hail. Everyday (actually several times a day) I check the forecast and any mention of "a few may be severe" makes my heart beat loudly. The decision becomes do I put all of pots up somewhere safe first thing in the day or just wait and scramble at the last minute. When the storms start coming in, there is no future cast for the radar and watching to see how the storms will move along the Front Range. I am sure it is not a perfect science, but I want to see how the bright red of any storm is tracking. The radar will inevitably glitch out or show some future cast that is totally made up. Refreshing doesn't do anything. The last couple of weeks I have asked all of my gardening and non-gardening friends what they use and it is all over the place. I discovered most of them have multiple weather apps and are not satisfied with any of them. In the end, I would be willing to pay for a weather app that didn't have a million ads and had a decent radar functionality. Will someone please develop one with gardeners in mind?

Leftover hail from storm June 30 storm. No warning of hail. Luckily I put my plants up in the morning. |
