I'm after a weather app.

Hi all,

I'm after a weather app that will also give me the dew point. I did a search, but the weather apps I've seen make no mention of the dew point. Anyone know of one?

Cheers,

Mental.

Hi.

I have PocketWeather for iPad. It is a paid app. I've tried a few weather apps and so for this is my favourite. But it is only for iPad I think, not iPhone. Which device do you have?

Regards.

Yes I have Pocketweather also and I like it too.
I just find Weatherzone nicer to use.
Pocketweather will work on iPods/iPhones too.

"Weather Australia" is a really good one. You can add your nearest town/city or even BOM weather station and it'll show you current conditions including dewpoint, low/high temps, forecast and rain radar, it is all accessable via a menu at the top of the screen so doesn't require you to navigate thru slow loading web pages and all that. All data it shows is official from the BOM.

This is on Android, don't know if its available on iPhone.

I'm wondering if I can add a dew point feature to the SkyHarbinger app... Might be something to investigate

I use Oz Radar app. Very simple and cheap, but has dew point and covers all the essentials. Updated often and regularly as well.

U didn't say whether it was an iPhone or Android .
For Android I use Weather Australia for the most recent BOM info and the free Weathebug (which is available for iPhone) for the satellite photo.
Astro Panel gives excellent forcasts for 'seeing'' with sunrise/set times, cloud cover, seeing, humidity, wind, temp, lunar phase and altitude.
I find that every app gives a different temp. I have three and they all give varying temps and wind directions.
