WEATHER


Here’s a rarity:
a Windows Phone
app! Course, we’re
only including it
because it’s now
on Android. But it’s
properly good, with
bold forecasting
blocks set in a
scrollable timeline
that uses language
normal humans
can understand.
Prefer conventional
hourly/daily lists?
You can swipe
across to those.
£free / Android


CARROT WEATHER


Although insisting she’d like
to end humanity, the Carrot
AI at the heart of this amusing
app continues to ramp up
forecasting. You need to splash
out on IAPs to get at some
of the best bits, like multiple
sources and advanced mapping,
but even the basics are ace...
and the snark comes for free.
£free (IAPs) / Android
£4.99 (IAPs) / iOS

MUJJO
TOUCHSCREEN
GLOVES

When you’re out in
the cold and need to
check the forecast,
you don’t want to
have to remove your
gloves and expose
your paws to the
elements. So grab
a pair of Mujjo’s
touchscreen gloves.
They have
conductive
properties, meaning
you’ll be able to use
your phone as normal
and discover whether
that sleet really is
getting worse.

There’s a retro feel
to this app, whose
interface recalls a
barometer. It’s a
nice glance-friendly
system, making it
easy to spot cloud
and temperature
predictions over
the coming 24
hours. You can
also create custom
activity thresholds
based on weather
conditions that
are then added
to the dial.
