Description

Meteo Weather Widget is a weather app showing the weather in a very detailed way at a glance on your home screen. While many weather apps are showing the weather forecast in a rather basic way, this app does that by visualizing the forecast in a so-called meteogram. Doing so shows you a much better overview of when exactly rain will fall, the sun will be shining, when it will become cloudy...


The main focus of the app consists in showing the meteogram on a small home screen widget (e.g. a 4X1 widget). Even while the widget does not occupy that much space on the home screen, it still manages showing the forecast in a clear way. Simply add a widget on your home screen, specify your location (or let the widget automatically determine your location) and the weather forecast appears on your home screen.


The meteogram shows the temperature and expected precipitation for the complete forecast period. Besides those weather elements, the wind speed, wind direction and air pressure can also be visualized on the meteogram. The user has all freedom to customize how the meteogram should look like.


Feature overview:


• Temperature, precipitation, wind and pressure
• Cloudiness / clearness indication
• Short-term forecast (next 24 or 48 hours)
• Short-term forecast for the next 5 days
• Fully customizable: colors, graph settings, ...

A "donate" version of the app adds below features:

• Widget providing a long-term forecast (next 10 days)
• Show humidity percentage
• Show sunrise and sunset
• Better (temperature) graph visualization (f.e. color the graph in blue when the temperature falls below freezing, custom line thickness and style, ...)
• Show moon phase
• Show wind chill
• Feature allowing you to save current settings as default settings
• Enable (paid) weather provider(s) (as in-app subscription)
• For the United States only: NOAA as weather provider


About the weather forecast data

All thanks to MET.NO (The Norwegian Meteorological Institute) for offering the weather forecast data (notice that for the long-term forecast period, one of the best weather models - ECMWF - is used by MET.NO).

For locations in the United States, NOAA is offered as short term weather provider.

NOTE: additional weather providers can be enabled by an in-app subscription.

2 ★ It used to be great but since upgrading my Pixel 7 Pro to Android 14 the blue "bar chart"-style rain indicators aren't showing up, or only showing one bar one pixel high no matter how much rain is forecast.

4 ★ Great successor to AIX. The only problem is that weather data stops automatically updating after the app has been updated. For it to work again I need to restart my phone. And to manually update it once, I need to save the settings. Would be great if weather data could continue to load after an app update.

5 ★ Seems like another dev has taken this over. Glad I was able to find it again.

4 ★ EDIT: I HAVE clock and calendar widget that has clickable areas on the widget to access the App right on the widget, one of which is to reset the App & Widget. Please add the option to reload the widget if the system shuts the widget or App down. I think there is an option to reload weather data but that doesn't reload the widget and or the App itself.

4 ★ Edit: Yes, but if there is a forecast of looming dooming weather, we need to know LOL You don't make it easy for your users do you? A mobile device has to have visual cue which you have, but it needs audio, and touch as well. (Smell and taste would be nice too, but am sure you would say that's out of your humanly realm). Hello, does this weather widget have no notifications to send on the weather conditions?
