From Rain Tracking to Hail Storm: The Best iPhone Weather Apps You Should Be Using in 2025

If you are still looking at Apple’s built-in weather app and calling it a day, maybe it’s time to upgrade. Weather apps have come a long way from simply telling whether it’s going to rain. Hyper-local weather forecasts, AI-driven alerts, real-time radar and minimal design are all on the table now. 

After trying out many of these, we have listed these 5 top weather apps suited for iPhone users. These apps offer a clean interface, more information on the weather and are best suited for those who want than just a rain update from their app. 

AccuWeather app: This app needs no introduction. AccuWeather is one of the widely used weather apps across both iOS and Android.

The app is free to download and is 4.5 on the App Store. 

Carrot app: This is not a new app. It has been around for some time and is one of the most dependable weather apps you can find on iPhones. This app is best suited for those who are into personality and customisation. It doesn’t eat up the battery much and draws weather updates from multiple sources. The app is free to download from the App Store, but you have to pay for a premium subscription to unlock certain features like more weather data sources, lock and home screen widgets, CarPlay app, more customisation, Live activities and more. 

Weather Strip: Available globally, the Weather Strip app is best for visual thinkers. The app can show extreme weather warnings right on the timeline to help users see exactly when a thunderstorm or hurricane is expected and accordingly plan the outdoor chores.

MyRadar: This is one of the best real-time radar and storm tracking apps you can get to see on the App Store.
