The Weather Network for Windows 10 helps you stay informed about weather conditions and ensures that you stay safe. While you might think that you don't need this type of app because your phone will update you or you can watch the full channel, think again. During severe weather conditions, you may lose your phone's network and have no way to watch TV. The Weather Network gives you all of the info that you need any day of the week.

Depending on how old you are, you might remember how excited people were when weather networks first launched. They loved that they could sit down and watch a station that offered 24/7 weather coverage. The Weather Network for Windows 10 brings that same excitement to any Windows device. It comes with a weekly forecast that lets you know what to expect for the next seven days and a long-term forecast that covers the next two weeks. As more information becomes available, the app changes its forecasts.

Weather nerds love that the app allows them to view older content, too. You can easily check some historical records to see what the weather was like on a specific date in the past, which lets you compare weather conditions. The built-in radar checker is also handy. When the sky outside darkens, you can quickly pull up the radar map and get an idea of how soon a storm will hit your home. As a bonus, the app uses your GPS to find your location. Even if you're on vacation or on a work trip, you can view the weather around you and the weather back home.

If you used other weather apps in the past, you might notice that The Weather Network for Windows 10 looks a little basic compared to them. It doesn't provide as much information as other apps do and offers more accurate data for those in Canada than in the US. You will also find that it does not allow you to check the weather outside of the UK and North America, even if you're in a different area.

The Weather Network for Windows 10 is a good option for people who just want to keep an eye on the weather though. You can download it before your next vacation to make sure that you know what to expect when you get to your destination. If you have an elderly parent, you can download it for them and let them keep an eye on the weather. As long as you have a newer version of Windows on your device and want to find fast weather data, you'll like The Weather Network for Windows 10.
