The 48-hour weather graph shows you a timeline for changes in rain , temperature and winds , so you can be well prepared for any circumstances . The app is free for most data but additional weather data can be accessed via an optional subscription ; however , we have found the basic service is more than sufficient for our needs .
Windy : This would have to be one of the most comprehensive weather apps available . It uses data from all the leading weather forecast models , including ECMWF , GFS by NOAA , NEMS , AROME , ICON , and NAM to present all aspects of the weather in an intuitive visual format .
The level of detail that can be accessed in Windy is unbelievable . You can monitor and track significant weather events in close to real-time . The forecasts extend to 10 days and from our experience , they are very accurate , particularly predictions for rain and storms . Like Weatherzone , Windy is free for most weather information but there is also a subscription available giving you access to additional information ; however , we have found the free version provides us with more than enough weather data for our needs .
My Lightning Tracker : When it comes to weather events , none are more dangerous to caravanners and campers than severe thunderstorms . Lightning is also extremely dangerous if you are out in the open and you ’ re handling fishing rods or tent poles . Storms with lots of lightning can also produce large and dangerous hail .
My Lightning Tracker is by far the most accurate and detailed way of tracking severe storms and lightning events . It will even alert you to lightning strikes nearby , at a distance you can set , so you can be alerted to a potentially severe thunderstorm in your area long before you hear it . It ’ s free to download for both iOS and Android .
