WVEC Radar app review: dedicated weather forecasting for the residents of Norfolk, Virginia

Reviews

Introduction

This iPhone and iPad WVEC radar app has been designed to act as a comprehensive resource for all things weather related, specifically catering to the local residents of Norfolk, Virginia and delivering weather predictions for as much as 10 days into the future.

I think that this is a great concept for a WVEC weather alerts app, and I’m especially pleased to see the way in which the development team is pairing up with local newscasters to provided localized weather forecasting to specific regions.

This WVEC weather forecast app seems to be a little more effective than some of the more generic weather apps on the market, and considering this WVEC.com weather app is completely free to download I would definitely suggest checking it out to see what you think.

Dedicated Weather Forecasting for Norfolk, Virginia

The first thing you’ll see when you initially begin using WVEC Radar is the Map section, which displays the past and predicted future progression of rain, snow, and various other weather fronts as they make their way across the Norfolk area.

If you look at the bottom of this section, you’ll see that it also includes a quick snapshot view of the current weather conditions, including the temperature, humidity, and the wind speed and direction. This essentially means that the Map section doubles up as a very handy home screen for the app.

If you’re looking for some more bog standard weather forecasting then I’d recommend checking out the 10 Day and Hourly sections, which provide slightly different formats of forecasting for their respective timeframes.

Within these sections, you can expect to find all manner of information, including the high and low temperatures for each day, the UV Index, sunrise and sunset times, and even a basic rundown of what kind of weather is predicted for each evening over the coming week and beyond.

I’m a little disappointed by the absence of Video and Blog sections which are sometimes offered in apps like this, but other than that this is definitely a high-quality development with more than enough content to keep you well-informed.
