Arcus Weather – An Accurate Android Weather App
Living in the United Kingdom with its very changeable weather means that when I leave the house, I like to know whether it’s going to rain or shine.
Arcus Weather is an app for Android Smartphones that can use hyper-local data to give you very accurate weather forecasts for where you live.
I recently wrote about Dark Sky – Hyper Local Weather Information. Since I wrote that article, Dark Sky has been acquired by Apple who are sadly retiring the Android app.
Arcus Weather is a very strong replacement to Dark Sky for Android users!
Arcus uses the new Forecast.io (the makers of Dark Sky for iOS) API to get the most accurate, and most current weather information.
I’ve used Arcus Weather for a while now, and the weather forecasts it gives are very accurate.
You can set the application to notify you if rain is due, and alert you to severe weather forecasts.
Arcus can be configured to sit in your Android notification bar and let you know the latest weather forecast at a glance.
It’s accurate, down to your street level, and it saves you getting soaked in the rain. What more could you want?
How can I get it?
You can download Arcus Weather from the Google Play store.
You can also visit the Arcus Weather website, or follow @arcusweather on Twitter.
Thanks to Arcus Weather creator Kushan Jayatilleke for creating such a great app!
