Weather Underground offers hyper-local forecasts for your neighborhood, along with interactive radar, satellite maps and severe weather alerts. But these are the ones we liked best, along with their privacy policy information. There are hundreds of weather apps in the App Store and Play Store, so we haven't tried them all. If you want to be even safer, check the weather manually in your internet browser or another device.

The built-in Weather app on your iPhone (which uses data from The Weather Channel) or Google Weather app on your Android may not be perfect, but if you're already in those device ecosystems, they have your current location information anyway. A number of weather apps, including those from The Weather Channel, AccuWeather and WeatherBug, have come under fire or faced lawsuits for selling location data to advertisers. However, any third-party weather app - as in, those that don't come built-in to your phone - poses a risk, since they operate using location data, and sometimes ask for permissions they don't actually need.

Depending on which weather app you choose to download, you may also get additional information like monthly forecasts, humidity levels and precipitation totals. Weather apps provide us with one of the most basic but essential tasks, giving us a forecast to plan out our days and weeks.
