KSL Weather app review: comprehensive weather forecasting from anywhere in the world

Reviews

Introduction

Keeping with the most commonly used layout and functionality of many other weather apps, KSL Weather provides clear and concise weather forecasting across a range of time frames, along with alerts for severe weather conditions in your area and additional video content from the KSL Weather studios.

This is a standard weather forecasting app and the fact that it utilizes NOWrad radar technology means you can rest assured that you’re getting some the most accurate and up-to-date weather reports in the industry, all presented in a variety of succinct formats.

Fantastic NOWrad Radar Maps

Upon starting up this app for the first time, it will use your current location to provide you with a map view of the current weather conditions for your area, as well as the option to view projected future conditions in an animated manner.

This main page features most of the basic information you’ll need, including the temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, and Feels Like temperature. You’ll also notice an overview of the weather for yesterday and tomorrow.

The 10-Day Forecast is great as it provides a basic overview of the coming 10 days while providing the option to tap on each day and access even more details. From this screen you can see high and low temperatures, UV Index, Sunrise and Sunset times, and more.

 

Severe Weather Notifications

Weather reports are available in an hourly format as well, offering even greater levels of detail as the day unfolds.

The Alerts section will provide you with any severe weather warnings for your local area, and you can also set up Weather Alert Notifications so that you’ll receive a heads up should things turn sour.

I’m a little disappointed by the absence of any social media sharing features as I think this would be a great addition, particularly when it comes to warning your friends and family of any impending storms or hurricanes.

Aside from this, KSL Weather is a top-notch weather forecasting app!

Final Words

This app achieves a nice balance between functionality, esthetics, and ease of use.

The interface is rich with content but without being too cluttered, and the taskbar along the bottom the screen makes it very easy to navigate between the different sections.

If you’re looking for an all-round reliable and accurate weather app with a decent amount of detail, you really can’t go wrong with KSL Weather as it provides all of the information you’d expect with the added bonus of some additional video content.
