I know this I have a weakness for time applications.. I am fascinated by knowing the weather forecasts and atmospheric events for the coming hours and days where I am now and where I will be traveling. The Google weather app looks good to me, but given the amount and quality of weather apps available, I’d prefer to try a few before choosing the default one.

But while the list of free weather apps on the Google Play Store is extensive, I must admit that the one I like the most is not available in the official app store. Need to go outside to use a good weather app? No, but without a doubt Breezy Weather is the best I’ve tried because of the amount of data it offers and, above all, the way it displays it. If you like meteorology, I definitely recommend you to try it..

What does Breezy Weather offer and how to download it?

Although it is not on the Google Play Store, installing it on the phone with its APK is not much of a mystery: Go to its official repository on GitHub, download it and install it after enabling unknown sources. Since it is a project, you can do it safely. open source, virus-free, free and uses Open Meteo data.

After installing it, all you have to do is enjoy it. As is usual in such applications, some grant must be given. location permission so it can logically present the time of our location.

If there are two things I like about this app, these are its design and all the information it provides.

On an aesthetic level, it has the appearance of Material You, where clarity, simplicity and colors reign, adapting the background to the current weather and presenting the main information at first glance. For this reason, If you look quickly, you already know the most important thing.. These data are temperature, wind, ultraviolet index and humidity, as well as what the sky is like.

But if you scroll down, the flow of information begins: daily forecast of data such as temperature, air quality, wind, UV index, precipitation, sunlight and thermal sensation. In the next box we have the same parameters, but this time per hour. The third rectangle shows more detailed air quality; below are pollens, then the solar and lunar calendar, and more additional information such as visibility or dew point. I insist: If you like data, you’ll love Breezy Weather.

All this information is available for your location, but you can add more to get this data from other places and change the update frequency as well. If the application is generous with information, the same can be said about its configuration: you can change the view, change the order of cards or customize them to remove some, configure notifications, change the weather source or change the view. top down. In summary, they have boring options.
