With the already popular Windy Apple Watch app, we have decided to expand our smartwatch coverage and include Android watches with the Windy WearOS app!
Bringing the weather forecast right to your wrist, Windy is perfect for those who like to stay prepared and make quick decisions about outdoor activities or travel plans. The Windy smartwatch app comes with three different widget tiles for your watch's home screen. Two with 3 and 4 days forecast outlook and one with a regular day overview. The app's menu offers access to the Weather forecast and Weather radar.
Let's look closer at the features and how you can utilize your smartwatch experience with them.
What can you find in the app?
- Weather forecast
Upon opening the Windy.com app, you will find 3 tabs. The first one is the Weather forecast, which offers a classic forecast for the following days.
Each day can be expanded to view a detailed forecast in 3-hour steps with weather parameters temperature, wind direction & strength, and precipitation.
The weather forecast view can be accessed right from your Windy Watch Face by simply tapping on your smartwatch screen.
- Weather radar
Your favorite tool for monitoring real-time precipitation and storm systems is not missing; it is the second tab in the app's menu.
To start the radar animation, tap on the play button on the screen and watch the current and past radar imagery for your location. You can also adjust the zoom level by swiping your finger along the edge of the watch screen.
- Settings
Customization is the key. The settings menu allows you to tailor the app to your preferences. Settings contain options for units of measurement (metric or imperial), weather models, and radar, where you can choose whether you want to see country names and borders. If not, turn both off and enjoy an unobstructed view.
Get started
To get the Windy WearOS, go to your smartwatch and open the Google Play store app, where you will find Windy as one of the available apps. Hit install and have weather at your fingertips!
