WFMY Radar app review: dedicated weather forecasting for residents of Greensboro, North Carolina

Reviews

Introduction

If you live in Greensboro, North Carolina or any of the surrounding regions then this is one iPhone and iPad app that you’re definitely going to want to take for a spin as it provides up to 10 days’ worth of advance weather forecasting in addition to severe weather notifications and loads more.

The best iPad apps for weather

This app makes a respectable addition to the Weather category of the App Store, providing a wonderfully simplistic interface and a ton of great content which presents the weather information across a range of timeframes and visual formats depending on the level of detail you require.

I’m a little disappointed by the absence of Video and Blog sections which are often seen in apps of this kind, but aside from this I’d still give it a very strong recommendation because I think Greensboro locals will find it to be quite invaluable.

Dedicated Weather Forecasting for Greensboro, North Carolina

WFMY Radar is a great way of getting your daily weather forecast if you’re local to Greensboro in North Carolina. You’ll find the information presented in a range of different formats ranging from the current temperature and humidity all the way to a full 10-day forecast.

The latter can be found in the 10 Day section (pretty obvious, huh?), where you’ll see the high and low temperatures for the coming week and beyond, in addition to the chance of precipitation, UV Index, sunrise and sunset times, and much more.

Receive Severe Weather Notifications

If you’d like to know a little more about what today holds in store, be sure to look at the Hourly section. This is where you’ll find a detailed breakdown of the coming 24 hours so you can easily see if rain is due or if the temperature is likely to drop later in the day.

What’s more, you can also use the Alerts section to set up Push notifications that will help you to stay well informed about any severe weather conditions that might be headed your way, such as storms, flash floods, hurricanes, and so on.

Final Words

WFMY Radar is far from being the most original weather app that I’ve come across, but being able to access consistent forecasts from their iPhone and iPad is going to come in very handy for the good folks of Greensboro.

Although far from perfect, this app does a great job and I would very much recommend it.
