If you own a device like iPhone or iPod Touch than there must be some apps which make it colorful and useful. There are lot many utility apps like Best Alarm Clock Apps for iPad, Best Free Scientific Calculators and Best Photo Album Apps but much Weather apps are also not less important. The Weather applications come for the users with beautiful interface. If you are thinking that there are several other ways and means available to check weather then you are mistaken because an application specially designed for this purpose can make the job easier. I tell you that knowing the latest temperature or is a requirement of every person and it is much better to have an application for it instead of searching for latest weather from Google.

Best iPhone Weather Apps

There are a large number of applications designed specifically to provide you with the latest Weather information but we have to choose the best one out of them based on multiple factors. Now it depends on the requirement of users that what kind of app they prefer. Here we have selected only the list of paid weather apps for iPhone/ iPod Touch which are also compatible with iPad:

Weather HD

It is the most popular among all other in the family. Weather HD enjoys top rating because of its quality and unmatched service. It is a universal application which is compatible in HD with iPad also. It has been loaded with some ultimate graphical display for the users but the thing in which this app lacks from others is the amount of information. Here I do not mean to say that this app provides no information at all but only more emphasis was given to its appearance while development so cannot be used by professionals. So if you are a normal user, it comes up with easy to use interface and it is simple to use right from the start. After setting your location you can get weather forecasts in daily or three-hourly intervals with video. The best out of these is rain forecast and its video is crystal clear which is shot in a beautiful grassy area whose rain drops give 3D look. [Download Link iTunes]
