WCSC Live 5 Weather app review: dedicated weather forecasting for residents of Charleston, South Carolina

Reviews

Introduction

Coming to you from the WCSC Live 5 studios is this localized source of weather forecasting designed specifically to provide a dedicated service to the residents of Charleston, South Carolina every single day of the week.

The best iPad apps for weather

I think that this app makes a great addition to the Weather category of the App Store, and I’m particularly glad to see that the developer has gone with a tried and tested formula in terms of both the content on offer and the way everything has been presented within the interface.

It’s also good to see the inclusion of a Video section because some developers tend to neglect this aspect of comparable apps. You’ll find live streaming and archived footage from WCSC Live 5, which is perfect for those of you who prefer to simply watch your forecasts rather than read them.

Dedicated Weather Forecasting for Charleston, South Carolina

WCSC Live 5 Weather should appeal to a pretty wide range of tastes and preferences as there are a handful of different sections, each displaying much of the same information but in a variety of visual formats.

The best iPhone apps for weather

For example, when you first start up the app you’ll be presented with Map section which, as the name would suggest, shows a live radar map of the Charleston region complete with overlays for weather fronts such as rain and snow.

View 10 Days of Weather Forecasts

The Video section, as mentioned above, includes footage from the WCSC Live 5 studios so that you can watch your forecasts, but if you’d prefer to simply read them then check out the 10 Day and Hourly sections.

In these sections you’ll find all kinds of information across different timeframes, including high and low temperatures, chance of precipitation, UV Index, wind speed and direction, sunrise and sunset times, and much more.

Suffice to say, this app is more than adequate at providing up to 10 days’ worth of advance weather forecasting in all manner of user-friendly formats.
