Big Weather For Mac

While Apple's weather service is available as a widget on macOS, it doesn't exactly offer a lot of information. Even less than the iOS app, actually. If you find yourself needing more data, a third-party app like Big Weather should suit you nicely.

Striking a good balance between comprehensive information and an intuitive design, Big Weather offers what most users would need to know on a daily basis, and it can be accessed easily from the menu bar.

Probably the app's best feature is just how well the available information is laid out. You have a timeline showing you how the temperature is going to fluctuate over the next two days, as well as a 3-day forecast that highlights temperature ranges very intuitively. A 10-day forecast is available for subscribers.

If you're not a fan of the graphical redesign that came with version 2.0, you can switch to the classic layout from the preferences. However, I believe the new design is superior in almost every way.

Big Weather displays the current temperature at the selected location in the menu bar, and you can switch between multiple locations quite easily. It shows you the local UV index, wind speed, and gust speed, which can be very helpful.

Relative humidity is now also displayed, which was an important feature missing in previous versions.

Big Weather makes the most of the information provided to users, as the graphic representations are remarkably easy to read and understand.

As far as the price is concerned, the fact that a weather API is used makes a subscription model reasonable, and you wouldn't be paying that much for what it has to offer. The free version includes a decent amount of features, and you can upgrade to the Premium edition if you want more.
