Tips
- Choose a useful home-screen widget
Open the widget picker on your device and choose a Weather XL PRO widget, then adjust its size and placement to suit your home screen. The app describes options for layout, appearance, displayed weather information, text size and colors. A compact setup can keep a quick forecast visible without opening the app each time.
- Compare hourly weather before plans
Check the hourly forecast when timing an outdoor activity or a trip. Comparing conditions across the day can make changes in temperature, rain or wind easier to factor into your plans than relying on one daily summary. The app also offers daily forecasts extending across the next 10 days.
- Check maps and local conditions
Use the app's satellite and weather radar maps for a visual view of weather conditions, and check its detailed forecasts for rain, snow, wind and storms. Daily information also includes humidity, dew, UV index and air pressure. Availability of air-quality information and alerts varies by location, so check what appears for your area.
Menu names follow the developer's help pages and can differ slightly between versions and phones.
How we write the digest
Each week we check the Google Play listings of the apps our readers use most: the version number, the update date and the developer's What's new notes. When an app has a new version, we put the developer's update notes and the listing details together on one page, in plain words, with a link to the official Google Play listing. Google and most developers release updates in stages over several days, so a version listed here may not have reached your phone yet. Select Weekly is an independent site and is not affiliated with any developer. This page doesn't read your phone or your Google account, and nothing is installed from here.
FAQ
Is this the official list of Weather XL PRO changes?
No. This is an independent site and is not affiliated with Exovoid Sàrl. The app's Google Play page is the authority for its listing and changes. Google Play lists improved forecasts for daily perceived temperature for this build; check the Play listing for the current information before installing.
Why does Google Play show Open instead of Update?
Google Play may show Open when an update is not currently offered to that account or device. Updates can be made available in stages, so you may see a different option from another person. Check the app's Play page again later; use Google Play as the source for whether an update can be installed.
Can I use Weather XL PRO on a Wear OS watch?
The description says the app is compatible with Wear OS and includes tiles and complications. The watch can show weather for your current location or a city, and it requires the main app to sync cities. The listed watch information includes hourly and daily forecasts and measures such as temperature, rain probability and wind speed.
