WGME WX app review: dedicated weather forecasting for residents of Portland, Maine

Reviews

Introduction

If you should happen to live in or around Portland, Maine then this is one app that you’ll definitely want to keep installed on your iPhone and iPad as it provides a whopping 10 days of advance weather forecasting in addition to live radar map imagery, severe weather alerts, and much more.

The best iPad apps for weather

There are countless weather forecasting apps that are essentially carbon copies of one another, utilizing the same basic interface design and set of features. This is yet another example of the ongoing trend within this genre, but that certainly doesn’t detract from its overall quality.

Maine residents will definitely benefit from using a dedicated meteorological service such as this, so if you’re looking for some decent weather reports then I would definitely recommend taking a look at WGME WX to see what you think.

You’ll also notice that you can manually search for other locations, and this app actually enables you to save multiple locations so that you can easily check up on the weather in other towns. This is especially useful for checking the road conditions before setting out on your commute to work each morning.
