AccuWeather: Weather Radar is one of the world's most downloaded and trusted weather apps, renowned for its accuracy, feature set, and ease of use. With advanced technologies like MinuteCast®, real-time radar, localized weather alerts, and interactive maps, it provides users with a comprehensive experience for anticipating weather conditions wherever they are.
Developed by AccuWeather Inc., a global leader in weather forecasting, the app is used daily by millions of people in over 100 countries. It is compatible with Android and iOS, with free and premium versions, and is available in several languages, including French.
Ultra-precise weather forecasts, minute by minute
What sets AccuWeather apart from many other weather apps is its ability to provide ultra-local and highly detailed forecasts. Thanks to its exclusive MinuteCast® technology, users receive minute-by-minute updates on rain, snow, or thunderstorms in their street, not just their city. This feature is especially useful for planning trips, sports activities, or business outings, and avoiding unpleasant surprises.
Forecasts are provided for the short term (hourly and daily) as well as the long term (up to 15 days), with comprehensive data on:
- Feels like temperature
- Humidity
- Wind speed and direction
- UV index
- Atmospheric pressure
- Probability of precipitation
- Sunrise and sunset times
Interactive radar and dynamic weather maps
AccuWeather also offers a live weather radar, which displays real-time precipitation as smooth animations. These radar maps allow you to visualize the progression of rain, snow, thunderstorms, or extreme weather events like hurricanes. You can zoom in on a specific geographic area, and the data is updated every 5 minutes.
Other types of cards are available, such as:
- RealVue™ satellite imagery
- Cloud cover
- The air quality index
- Winter road conditions
- The accumulation of snow
Real-time weather alerts
AccuWeather offers a system of notifications for severe weather alerts, issued by official agencies (such as Météo France or NOAA) or generated automatically by the application. In the event of a severe thunderstorm, heavy rain, extreme heat, hurricane, black ice, or strong winds, the user is immediately notified on their smartphone.
These alerts can be customized according to location, severity of the event, and time. This allows for proactive precautionary measures and ensures the safety of travel and activities.
Intuitive, customizable, and multilingual interface
The app is designed to be easy to use, even for novice users. The interface is clear and modern, with icons illustrating the day's weather conditions and smooth animations. Users can choose multiple locations (home, vacation spot, work, etc.) and navigate between different screens displaying forecasts, maps, or alerts.
Available in several languages, including French, it is perfectly suited to the French-speaking public.
A free version and a premium version
AccuWeather is offered in a free, ad-supported version and a premium version that removes ads and unlocks certain additional features:
- Priority access to alerts
- Details of animated radars
- Advanced weather widgets
- Uninterrupted experience
This version is accessible via monthly or annual subscription, but can also be found in a modified (MOD) version via alternative sources — to be used with caution.

For French users, another popular app is La Chaîne Météo (The Weather Channel), which also offers detailed forecasts, a weather radar, and localized alerts. It features a typically French interface and video weather reports presented by professional weather forecasters.
