Top 10 Android Apps for Weather Monitoring

Whatever the reason for needing to monitor the weather, you may as well do it on your Android. After all, you have probably spent a lot of your hard earned money on your Android mobile device, so it is only fair you use it for something other than email, SMS and games. Speaking of hard earned money, you will be glad to read that all of these apps are free (at the time of writing). These free apps are even better than the free weather app you have embedded into the side of your house (aka a window), because these apps tell you what weather is predicted as oppose to how the weather is right now.
