Meteo Weather Widget

About this app

Meteo Weather Widget is a weather app showing the weather in a very detailed way at a glance on your home screen. While many weather apps are showing the weather forecast in a rather basic way, this app does that by visualizing the forecast in a so-called meteogram. Doing so shows you a much better overview of when exactly rain will fall, the sun will be shining, when it will become cloudy...


The main focus of the app consists in showing the meteogram on a small home screen widget (e.g. a 4X1 widget). Even while the widget does not occupy that much space on the home screen, it still manages showing the forecast in a clear way. Simply add a widget on your home screen, specify your location (or let the widget automatically determine your location) and the weather forecast appears on your home screen.


The meteogram shows the temperature and expected precipitation for the complete forecast period. Besides those weather elements, the wind speed, wind direction and air pressure can also be visualized on the meteogram. The user has all freedom to customize how the meteogram should look like.


Feature overview:


• Temperature, precipitation, wind and pressure
• Cloudiness / clearness indication
• Short-term forecast (next 24 or 48 hours)
• Short-term forecast for the next 5 days
• Fully customizable: colors, graph settings, ...

A "donate" version of the app adds below features:

• Widget providing a long-term forecast (next 10 days)
• Show humidity percentage
• Show sunrise and sunset
• Better (temperature) graph visualization (f.e. color the graph in blue when the temperature falls below freezing, custom line thickness and style, ...)
• Show moon phase
• Show wind chill
• Feature allowing you to save current settings as default settings
• Enable (paid) weather provider(s) (as in-app subscription)
• For the United States only: NOAA as weather provider


About the weather forecast data

All thanks to MET.NO (The Norwegian Meteorological Institute) for offering the weather forecast data (notice that for the long-term forecast period, one of the best weather models - ECMWF - is used by MET.NO).

For locations in the United States, NOAA is offered as short term weather provider.

NOTE: additional weather providers can be enabled by an in-app subscription.

Ratings and reviews

Great widget but frequently stops updating automatically. Battery saver settings are turned off. No rhyme or reason why it stops working. Even reinstalling won't get auto updates back, just have to wait for it to randomly work again. Would be an easy 5 stars if they could figure this out. Overall, still worth it.

Only 2 widgets. No landscape mode... so everything is microscopis small. Only one meteo provider!!! Only 2-days meteogram - not 5-days as shown on sample screens ap page. No line between the days. All in all - VERY basic... thera are dozens of much better free aps. Not recommended. UPDATED - no, there is not big widget, but only two - 4x1 and 4x2.

Hi, This is one of the best meteogram weather widget over thousands of widgets available. A few suggestions, before I consider buying the full version: Can you please make us select to add the "Feels like temperature" line also? apart from actual temperature? Also, precipitation: it would be amazing if it shows the amount of precipitation (as text) that follows the blue bars (like the weather symbol following the temperature line), as an option. Pls let me know if you can add these features?
