You can’t control the weather, but these Android and iOS apps can help you prep for Mother Nature’s plans.

您无法控制天气，但是这些Android和iOS应用程序可以帮助您准备大自然的计划。

When Mother Nature is in a bad mood (which is more likely than ever these days thanks to climate change), it helps to keep an eye on what’s happening in the sky. One of the most important tools for that is a mobile weather app. A good weather app helps you decide if you’ll need to bring an umbrella to work, or prepare for more serious conditions. With wild weather across the country, particularly hurricanes threatening coastal states, it’s a good idea to check the forecast or radar for upcoming conditions. A weather app lets you do that wherever you are, whenever you like.

当大自然的母亲心情不好时(由于气候变化，如今比以往任何时候都更有可能)，它有助于时刻关注天空中发生的事情。 最重要的工具之一是移动气象应用程序。 一个好的天气应用程序可以帮助您决定是否需要带雨伞去工作，或者为更严重的情况做准备。 鉴于全国各地的狂野天气，尤其是飓风威胁着沿海国家，因此最好检查一下预报或雷达以了解即将发生的情况。 天气应用程序可让您随时随地执行此操作。

When testing weather apps, we spent most of our time evaluating the effectiveness of their design. An ideal weather app is visually pleasing and easy to use. If you have to dig through several screens to find out when it’s going to rain, the app is off to a bad start.

在测试天气应用程序时，我们花费了大部分时间来评估其设计的有效性。 理想的天气应用程序在视觉上令人愉悦并且易于使用。 如果您必须浏览几个屏幕以查找何时下雨，则该应用程序起步不佳。

What we didn’t look for is whether or not the predicted weather came to pass. Our reasons are twofold: First, most weather apps get the bulk of their data from the National Weather Service. Some also pull the predictions from services like AccuWeather, Dark Sky, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Some companies, like The Weather Channel, have their own predictive models, but many apps are just shells into which data flows.

我们没有寻找的是预测天气是否过去了。 我们的原因有两个：首先，大多数天气应用程序都从国家气象局获取大部分数据。 有些人还从AccuWeather，Dark Sky和国家海洋与大气管理局等服务中提取了预测。 一些公司，例如The Weather Channel，都有自己的预测模型，但是许多应用程序只是数据流入的外壳。

Second, and more importantly, to really determine the accuracy of the service’s model, we’d have to perform exhaustive tests across the globe. We’re simply not set up to tackle that kind of challenge. As it stands, we’ll assume that if a company has invested the time and effort to create its own predictive models for something as complex as weather, then it probably knows more about meteorology than we do.

其次，更重要的是，要真正确定服务模型的准确性，我们必须在全球范围内进行详尽的测试。 我们根本没有准备好应对这种挑战。 就目前而言，我们将假设，如果一家公司投入了时间和精力来为天气这样复杂的事物创建自己的预测模型，那么它可能比我们对气象了解更多。

For what it’s worth, the apps were all quite accurate during testing. Despite earlier conspiracies, the rollout of the 5G wireless network shouldn’t ruin these weather forecasts. Besides, right now you should be staying inside anyway to help curb the ongoing pandemic, even on the nicest of days. If you’re really concerned about accuracy, consider getting a weather station of your own. Though weather stations are more about recording your local data than about getting forecasts, setting up and maintaining a weather station is a fun science project-just maybe not right before a hurricane hits.

就其价值而言，这些应用在测试过程中都非常准确。 尽管有较早的阴谋，但5G无线网络的推出不应破坏这些天气预报 。 此外，现在即使在最美好的日子，您也应该呆在里面以遏制持续的大流行。 如果您真的担心准确性，请考虑购买自己的气象站。 尽管气象站的工作重点在于记录本地数据，而不是获取天气预报，但是建立和维护气象站是一项有趣的科学项目-可能在飓风来临之前就不那么合适了。

At first, we did not fully appreciate the sheer number of weather apps available for Android and iOS devices. In the end, we picked those we thought offered something unique, along with the most popular apps. The vast majority of these apps are free, so try them out until you find the sunniest one for you.

最初，我们不完全了解可用于Android和iOS设备的天气应用程序的数量。 最后，我们选择了我们认为可以提供独特功能的应用程序以及最受欢迎的应用程序。 这些应用程序绝大多数都是免费的，因此请尝试一下，直到找到最适合您的应用程序为止。

1天气 (1Weather)

1Weather hangs its hat on slick widgets that deliver weather information. You can track hourly and weekly forecasts, view precipitation and radar maps, and study the sun and moon’s positions. Text blurbs in the Discussion section offer additional context about upcoming weather patterns.

1Weather挂在提供天气信息的漂亮小部件上。 您可以跟踪每小时和每周的天气预报，查看降水和雷达图，以及研究太阳和月亮的位置。 讨论部分中的文字说明提供了有关即将到来的天气模式的其他上下文。

AccuWeather (AccuWeather)

Its new interface may be complex, but AccuWeather has seen major improvements thanks to a recent revision. The planning features are more comprehensive, as they use weather data to help you manage allergies, safely drive, or boost productivity. We still like that it includes a news section for watching videos about upcoming weather events.

它的新界面可能很复杂，但是由于最近的修订，AccuWeather已经有了重大改进。 计划功能更加全面，因为它们使用天气数据来帮助您管理过敏，安全驾驶或提高生产率。 我们仍然喜欢它，其中包括新闻部分，用于观看有关即将发生的天气事件的视频。

胡萝卜天气 (Carrot Weather)

As long as you’re willing to upgrade to its premium tier, Carrot Weather is a fine Android alternative to Dark Sky. In fact, it draws from Dark Sky’s own accurate weather data, while adding its own snarky flavor text.

只要您愿意升级到高级级别，Carrot Weather就是Dark Sky的绝佳Android替代品。 实际上，它是从Dark Sky自身准确的天气数据中提取的，同时添加了自己的易闻味道文字。

阴暗的天空 (Dark Sky)

Dark Sky is a weather app so good that Apple bought the company just to keep it exclusive to iOS starting August 1, 2020. Not only that, it’s the only app on the list without a free option. Still, app’s slick presentation and hyper-local accuracy make it easy to see what all the fuss is about.

Dark Sky是一款非常出色的天气应用程序，以至于苹果从2020年8月1日开始购买该公司，以使其仅在iOS中独占。不仅如此，它还是列表中唯一没有免费选项的应用程序。 尽管如此，应用程序的流畅演示和超本地化的准确性仍使您很容易看到所有大惊小怪的事情。

Flowx：天气图预报 (Flowx: Weather Map Forecast)

Flowx pulls from a variety of local and global sources to give Android owners the most accurate forecasts possible. Premium users can customize graphs, maps, and widgets to present this deep weather data however they like. An iOS version is also in the works.

Flowx会从各种本地和全球资源中获取信息，从而为Android用户提供最准确的预测。 高级用户可以自定义图表，地图和小部件，以根据自己的喜好显示此深层天气数据。 iOS版本也正在开发中。

NOAA天气雷达实时 (NOAA Weather Radar Live)

Many weather apps draw data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. So, just cut to the chase with the NOAA Weather Radar Live app. With it, you can check local forecasts and track weather patterns using interactive satellite maps.

许多天气应用程序都从国家海洋和大气管理局获得数据。 因此，只需使用NOAA Weather Radar Live应用程序来追赶。 借助它，您可以使用交互式卫星地图查看当地天气预报并跟踪天气状况。

Plume Labs：空气质量应用程序 (Plume Labs: Air Quality App)

Air quality is a piece of weather data that greatly impacts personal health. Even if you aren’t directly caught in a wildfire, smoke-filled air can still make it dangerous to go outside. This air quality app from Plume Labs offers real-time, local pollution information, a sadly vital service in our current climate.

空气质量是一条天气数据，会对个人健康产生重大影响。 即使您没有直接被野火所困，充满烟雾的空气仍然可能使您走到外面很危险。 Plume Labs的这款空气质量应用程序可提供实时的本地污染信息，这在我们当前的气候下是一项至关重要的服务。

天气频道 (The Weather Channel)

The newest version of The Weather Channel is a slick and capable companion. Along with hourly and daily forecasts, the app gives you the info to stay safe from both raging hurricanes and deadly viruses. The robust video section makes this app particularly useful.

The Weather Channel的最新版本是一个功能强大的伴侣。 除了每小时和每天的天气预报外，该应用程序还为您提供信息，以保护您免受狂暴的飓风和致命病毒的侵害。 强大的视频部分使该应用特别有用。

地下天气 (Weather Underground)

Weather Underground is no longer the darling among weather geeks; it’s hard to stay radical when you’re owned by IBM’s The Weather Company. Community aspects are de-emphasized, data is no longer shared, and, based on anecdotes, the hyper-local predictions are less reliable. That said, the app still has plenty to offer, with smart forecasts, detailed storm tracking, air quality and temperature readings, quick links to more content on the Wunderground website, and a respectful privacy policy.

地下天气不再是天气极客之间的宠儿。 当您由IBM的Weather Company拥有时，很难保持激进。 不再强调社区方面的内容，不再共享数据，并且基于轶事，超本地化的预测不太可靠。 也就是说，该应用程序仍然可以提供很多功能，包括智能预测，详细的风暴跟踪，空气质量和温度读数，快速链接至Wunderground网站上更多内容以及受人尊敬的隐私政策。

天气虫 (WeatherBug)

WeatherBug’s performance has improved, but it’s far from snappy. However, multiple new versions of the app, including Weather Elite and WeatherBug Widget, give users some choices. Plus WeatherBug’s lightning-detection feature is pretty uncommon and useful.

WeatherBug的性能有所提高，但远非如此。 但是，该应用程序的多个新版本，包括Weather Elite和WeatherBug Widget，为用户提供了一些选择。 另外，WeatherBug的闪电检测功能非常罕见且有用。

什么预测 (What the Forecast)

If you’re looking for another weather app unafraid to show its personality, consider What the Forecast. Severe snowstorms? Better stock up on toilet paper. The sun isn’t just shining, it’s shining out of your butt. If you ever lose your internet connection, the app just tells you the weather in Hell, which, in the long run, is probably the most useful information for most of us anyway.

如果您正在寻找另一个不敢展示其个性的气象应用，请考虑“天气预报”。 暴风雪吗？ 更好地储备厕纸。 太阳不仅照耀着，还照耀着你的屁股。 如果您失去了互联网连接，该应用程序只会告诉您地狱的天气，从长远来看，对于我们大多数人来说，这可能是最有用的信息。

雅虎天气 (Yahoo Weather)

Yahoo Weather is a beautifully designed app that brings in the best features of other weather apps — and even improves on them. Crowdsourced images from Flickr are prominently featured, and really bring this app to life. It could use more radar map options, and a tool for crowdsourcing weather observations. If you don’t like Weather Underground, give this one a spin.

Yahoo Weather是一款设计精美的应用程序，它具有其他天气应用程序的最佳功能，甚至可以对其进行改进。 来自Flickr的众包图片功能突出，真正使该应用程序栩栩如生。 它可以使用更多的雷达地图选项，以及用于众包天气观测的工具。 如果您不喜欢“地下天气”，请尝试一下。
