天气几乎影响你生活的方方面面。这是你决定上班时的着装方式，是否带雨伞，以及你的周末计划。
你真的想访问一个天气网站来随时查看天气吗？一个更方便的想法是安装一个自动显示天气预报和更新的Windows应用程序。(Windows)
Microsoft Store上的许多适用于Windows 10的天气应用程序或在线提供的桌面应用程序不值得安装或包含恶意软件。
因此，这里有最好的Microsoft Store和桌面应用程序现在可以免费安装，这样您就可以随时监控天气。
(Weather Apps)Microsoft Store中适用于 Windows 10 的天气应用(Windows 10)程序
我们仅安装和测试了可用的最佳天气应用程序，因此您可以从最好的应用程序中进行选择。
MSN 天气应用长期以来一直是(MSN Weather)微软(Microsoft)商店中最受欢迎的天气应用；有充分的理由。它有最干净的用户界面、漂亮的布局，而且很容易使用。
在主页上，您将在其下方看到您当前的当地温度和天气详细信息(weather details)。在此之下，您会一目了然地找到 9 天的预报。下面是从您当前时间到接下来 24 小时的天气时间线。
选择左侧导航栏上的地图(Maps)图标可查看 2 小时雷达观测动画。
(Navigation)顶部的导航链接可让您在多个地图之间切换此视图，包括温度、雷达观测、雷达预报、降水、卫星或云。
此导航面板上另一个有用的选项卡是历史天气(Historical Weather)。
这将提供过去 12 个月的天气，包括温度、降雨(Rainfall)和下雪(Snow)天。
选择最喜欢的地方(Favorite Places)以查看您添加到应用程序的位置以查看那里的天气。
您可以添加更多新地点，以便随时在地点之间切换。
有付费的MyRadar应用程序和带广告的免费版本。当你第一次启动它时，地图看起来很简单，只有一个动画雷达地图。
但是，如果您选择应用程序右下角的地图图标，您可以在道路、航空或灰度之间更改地图类型。在付费版本中，您还可以选择视觉飞行规则 (VFR)(Visual Flight Rules (VFR))或仪表飞行规则 (IFT)(Instrument Flight Rules (IFT))地图。
从各种图层选项中选择要添加的图层图标，包括：(Layers)
- 风
- 温度
- 云
- 警告
- 展望
- 战线
- 飓风
- 空气质量 (AQI)
- 航空
- 轨道追踪
- 地震
- 野火
您还可以点击右下角的“预测(Forecast)”图标，在页面右侧查看详细的预测面板。
该预报显示是数据填充最多的格式之一，包括高温和低温、空气质量、降水预报、每小时气温预报以及每周温度和降水回顾。
Microsoft Store中的Simple Weather应用程序的名称恰如其分，因为坦率地说，它很简单。但简单并不意味着无效。
首次启动应用程序时，您需要为其添加位置以监控天气。
接下来，选择温度单位、更新频率以及是否要启用桌面通知。
完成后，您会看到当地天气、温度、气压计和温度趋势的简洁显示。
从左侧导航菜单中选择雷达图标以查看所选区域的雷达地图。
选择底部的地球以选择雷达详细信息，例如模式（空气、海洋、微粒等）、动画类型、叠加层、投影等。(earth)
选择左侧的位置(Locations)图标以查看您添加的天气位置，并添加您想查看的任何其他位置。
Microsoft Store上一个鲜为人知的天气应用是Weather Notify。它实际上是适用于Windows 10(Windows 10)的更漂亮的天气应用程序之一，具有透明的仪表板，无论您将其放在桌面的哪个位置，它都会看起来不错。
它确实在顶部包含一个广告栏，但它相当不显眼，并且主页上提供的天气数据非常详细且有用。
它包括您当地的位置温度和详细信息（自动检测您的位置）。
在此下方，您将看到 7 天预报和 48 小时每小时预报。您可以左右滚动每个时间线以查看更多信息。
选择“设置”(Settings)图标以调整位置自动检测、温度指标和后台模式（您必须重新启动应用程序才能看到这些更改）。
Strawberry Weather是一款设计大胆的Microsoft商店应用。默认界面有一个鲜红色的背景和一个非常简单的显示，以直接的方式显示您当地的天气信息。
您将看到当地温度（默认为摄氏度(Celsius)，但您可以将其更改为华氏度(Fahrenheit)）。仪表板还将向您显示：
- 月相
- 当前天气
- 天气警报
- 风速和风向
- 湿度
- 空气压力
- 日出和日落
如果您选择明天或一周中的任何一天，您可以查看几个小时内的预测。
选择设置图标以调整诸如在第一个实时磁贴上显示的数据、仪表板刷新率、是否显示您所在位置的城市名称以及是否将草莓天气(Strawberry Weather)设置为锁定屏幕等内容。
您可以在核心(core)选项卡上更改默认位置、单位、时间格式等。
(Weather Desktop Applications)适用于Windows 10的(Windows 10)天气桌面应用程序
虽然Microsoft Store应用程序安装方便且易于安装，但它们并不总是像完整的桌面应用程序那样功能强大。许多桌面应用程序可让您执行诸如将显示器停靠在侧面或与任务栏集成等操作。
以下是两个真正值得安装的适用于Windows 10的最佳桌面天气应用程序。(Windows 10)
WeatherBug多年来一直是一个受欢迎的天气网站。它的网站本身就是天气信息和新闻的重要来源。但WeatherBug提供了一个桌面应用程序，可帮助您在桌面上获取该信息，而无需使用浏览器。
安装后，您可以在整洁的桌面页面中获得几乎所有相同的天气信息。
在主页上，您会看到当地的天气信息，包括当前温度以及高温和低温。
其他信息包括：
- 露点
- 湿度
- 压力
- 日出和日落
- 风速和风向
- 当前天气状况
- 天气警报
选择菜单以查看其他视图，例如 10 天预报、每小时天气细分等。选择地图(Maps)以查看地图视图选项，例如雷达、干旱、流感地图或飓风追踪器。
无论您选择哪个，都以您给定的位置为中心。雷达图可让您在美国雷达(US Radar)视图、卫星视图、湿度、压力、温度或风速数据图之间切换。
这个适用于Windows 10(Windows 10)的桌面天气应用程序的唯一缺点是它包含一个大广告面板作为边框。
如果您可以忍受这一点，那么您将获得一个非常有用的桌面天气应用程序，您可以在使用浏览器做更有成效的事情时在任何屏幕上保持打开状态。
WeatherMate是最有用的桌面天气应用程序之一，因为在您需要它之前它不会妨碍您。
启动 WeatherMate 后，它会停靠在屏幕顶部(dock to the top of your screen)并自行隐藏。将鼠标放在应用程序窗口附近以向下滑动扩展坞。
使用“设置”(Settings)将一个或多个位置添加到应用程序的当前天气显示中。
打开后，该应用会显示您添加的每个位置的标签。您可以获得当前的温度和天气状况，以及有关天气的更多文字详细信息。
该应用程序看起来几乎太简单了，但您也可以在“设置”(Settings)部分添加更多天气详细信息。
选择美国地图(Select U.S. Maps)以添加您希望在打开窗口时看到的所有地图类型。地图(Map)类型分为预报、降水、恶劣天气等。
现在，每当您再次打开应用程序时，您都会看到为添加到应用程序的位置选择的天气类型。
如果您愿意，您可以将多个地图添加到每个位置显示。
设置(Settings)菜单本身可让您自定义显示选项、窗口停靠的位置、运行的方式和时间、桌面警报等等。
这个看似简单的应用程序可能是让天气信息触手可及的最简单方法之一，甚至在您需要之前完全不占用任何桌面空间。
在 Windows 10 上使用天气应用程序
浏览器往往会在您打开的每个选项卡上使用大量内存。(use a lot of memory)减少打开选项卡的数量是降低内存消耗的有用方法。如果您倾向于经常查看天气，请安装其中一个应用程序，您将永远不需要打开新的浏览器选项卡来再次查看天气预报。
The 7 Best Weather Apps for Windows 10
The weather affects nearly every part of your life. It’s how you decide to dress when you go to work, whether to carry an umbrella, and what your weekend plans are going to be.
Do you really want to visit a weather site to check the weather all the time? A more convenient idea is to install a Windows app that displays the weather forecast and updates automatically.
Many weather apps for Windows 10 on the Microsoft Store or desktop apps available online aren’t worth installing or include malware.
So, here are the best Microsoft Store and desktop apps available to install now for free so you can monitor the weather at all times.
Weather Apps for Windows 10 in Microsoft Store
We’ve installed and tested only the best weather apps that are available, so you can choose from the best.
The MSN Weather app has been the most popular weather app on the Microsoft store for a long time; for good reason. It has the cleanest user interface, a beautiful layout, and it’s easy to use.
From the main page you’ll see your current local temperature and weather details below it. Beneath this, you’ll find a 9 day forecast at a glance. Underneath this is a weather timeline from your current time through the next 24 hours.
Select the Maps icon on the navigation bar to the left to see a 2hr radar observation animation.
Navigation links at the top let you switch this view between several maps, including temperature, radar observation, radar forecast, precipitation, satellite, or cloud.
Another useful tab on this navigation panel is Historical Weather.
This will provide the last 12 months of past weather, including Temperature, Rainfall, and Snow days.
Select Favorite Places to see what location you’ve added to the app to view weather there.
You can add more new places so you can switch between locations whenever you like.
There is both a paid MyRadar app and a free version with ads. When you first launch it, the map appears pretty simple with just an animated radar map.
However, if you select the map icon at the bottom right of the app, you can change the map type between roads, aerial, or greyscale. In the paid version you can also select Visual Flight Rules (VFR) or Instrument Flight Rules (IFT) maps.
Select the Layers icon to add from an assortment of layer choices, including:
- Winds
- Temperatures
- Clouds
- Warnings
- Outlooks
- Fronts
- Hurricanes
- Air Quality (AQI)
- Aviation
- Orbital Tracking
- Earthquakes
- Wildfires
You can also tap the Forecast icon on the far bottom right to see a detailed forecast panel on the right side of the page.
This forecast display is one of the most data-filled formats, including temperature highs and lows, air quality, precipitation forecast, hourly temperature forecast, and a weekly review of temperature and precipitation.
The Simple Weather app from the Microsoft Store is aptly named, because quite frankly it’s simple. But simple doesn’t mean ineffective.
When you first launch the app, you’ll need to add a location for it to monitor the weather for you.
Next, choose the temperature units, update frequency, and whether or not you want to enable desktop notifications.
When you’re done, you’ll see a clean and simple display of your local weather, temperature, and barometer and temperature trends.
Select the radar icon from the left navigation menu to see a radar map over your selected area.
Select earth at the bottom to select radar details like mode (air, ocean, particulates, and more), animation type, overlay, projection, and more.
Select the Locations icon from the left to review the weather locations you’ve added, and to add any additional locations you’d like to see.
A little known weather app on the Microsoft Store is Weather Notify. It’s actually one of the more beautiful weather apps for Windows 10, with a transparent dashboard that’ll look good no matter where you place it on your desktop.
It does include an ad bar at the top, but it’s fairly unobtrusive, and the weather data provided on the main page is detailed and useful.
It includes your local location temperature and details (your location is detected automatically).
Below this you’ll see a 7 day forecast, and a 48 hour hourly forecast. You can scroll left and right through each timeline to see more.
Select the Settings icon to adjust location auto-detect, temperature metrics, and the background mode (you’ll have to restart the app to see these changes).
Strawberry Weather is a Microsoft store app with a bold design. The default interface has a bright red background and a very simple display that shows your local weather information in a straightforward way.
You’ll see local temperature (defaults to Celsius but you can change it to Fahrenheit). The dashboard will also show you:
- Moon phase
- Current weather
- Weather alerts
- Wind speed and direction
- Humidity
- Air pressure
- Sunrise and sunset
If you select tomorrow or any day of the week, you can see the forecast over several hour blocks.
Select the settings icon to adjust things like what data gets displayed on the first live tile, the dashboard refresh rate, whether to display the name of the city for your location, and whether to set Strawberry Weather as your lock screen.
You can change your default location, units, time format, and more on the core tab.
Weather Desktop Applications for Windows 10
While Microsoft Store apps are convenient and easy to install, they aren’t always as functional as full desktop apps. Many desktop apps let you do things like dock the display to the side or integrate with the task bar.
The following are two of the best desktop weather apps for Windows 10 that are actually worth installing.
WeatherBug has been a popular weather website for years. Its website itself is a great source for weather information and news. But WeatherBug offers a desktop app to help you get that information on your desktop without having to use the browser.
Once you install it, you get mostly all the same weather information in a tidy desktop page.
On the main page you’ll see your local weather information including current temp as well as high and low temps.
Other information includes:
- Dew point
- Humidity
- Pressure
- Sunrise and sunset
- Wind speed and direction
- Current weather conditions
- Weather alerts
Select the menu to see other views like a 10 day forecast, hourly weather breakdown, and more. Select Maps to see map view options like radar, drought, flu maps, or a hurricane tracker.
Whichever you pick stays centered on your given location. The radar map lets you switch between US Radar view, satellite view, humidity, pressure, temperature, or wind speed data maps.
The only drawback with this desktop weather app for Windows 10 is that it includes a large ad panel as a border.
If you can tolerate this, then you get a very useful desktop weather app that you can keep open on any screen while you’re using your browser to do more productive things.
WeatherMate is one of the most useful desktop weather apps, because it stays out of the way until you need it.
Once you launch WeatherMate, it’ll dock to the top of your screen and hide itself. Place your mouse near the app window to slide the dock down.
Use Settings to add one or more locations to the app’s current weather display.
When opened, the app shows you tabs for each location you’ve added. You get the current temperature and weather conditions, as well as more textual details about the weather.
The app looks almost too simple, but you can add a lot more weather details in the Settings section as well.
Select U.S. Maps to add all of the map types you’d like to see in the window whenever you open it. Map types are categorized into forecast, precipitation, severe weather, and more.
Now, whenever you open the app again, you’ll see the weather types you selected for the locations you added to the app.
You can add multiple maps to each location display if you like.
The Settings menu itself lets you customize display options, the position where the window docks, how and when it runs, desktop alerts, and much more.
This deceptively simple-looking app is probably one of the easiest ways to keep weather information right at your fingertips without even taking up any desktop space at all until you need it.
Using Weather Apps on Windows 10
Browsers tend to use a lot of memory with every tab that you open. Reducing the number of open tabs is a useful way to keep that memory consumption down. If you tend to check the weather often, install one of these apps and you’ll never need to open a new browser tab to see the weather forecast again.
