Your iPhone and iPad both come with a handy weather app for getting your current conditions and upcoming forecast. And you can use the widget for that app in your Today View. But what if you want something more or just a little different?

Instead of searching the App Store and trying tons of weather widgets, we’ve compiled a list for you. Here are the best free iPhone weather widgets for your Today View.

Weather Live

Weather Live gives you a wealth of weather details in the iPhone app. With current conditions, short- and long-term forecasts, a rain map, and of course, the basic details you need. It’s an informative weather app.

For the widget, you can choose from a compact or detailed style, depending on how much weather information you want. You can see if there are any weather alerts and get your hourly and daily forecasts with a quick glance.

  • Availability: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Android
  • Cost: Free with in-app purchases for ad-removal, a hurricane tracker, and interactive weather maps.

Weather Widget

If what you want is a weather widget that lets you pick your style, then check out Weather Widget. The iPhone app gives you all the details you need for your hourly and daily forecasts, current conditions, local alerts, and more.

Once you add the widget to your Today View, pop open the app and select your widget style. With all sorts of options, you can have a digital, geometric, neon, or metallic style. In addition, each widget displays your weather details differently, so you can switch widgets and still get what you need.

  • Availability: iPhone, iPad, and Android
  • Cost: Free with in-app purchases to remove the ads, get unlimited locations, and use more widget styles.

WeatherBug

With WeatherBug on your iPhone, you’ll get the weather details you need plus extras like featured videos, a live air quality map, weather news, and live cams.

The WeatherBug widget provides you with the basics like current conditions and a four-hour forecast for the day. But you can also see if there are any weather alerts and how far away the closest lightning strike is to your location.

  • Availability: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, Android, Windows, and the web
  • Cost: Free with an in-app purchase to remove the ads.

Weather Radar: AccuWeather

The Weather Radar: AccuWeather app for iPhone gives you a nice view of your hourly and daily forecasts as well as a radar map.

The widget itself lets you tap on one of the forecast options or the radar which takes you straight to that section of the app. You’ll also see the current temperature, “feels like” temperature, and high and low for the day. If you tap Show More, you can also see the precipitation details for your location.

  • Availability: iPhone, iPad, iMessage, Apple Watch, Apple TV, Android, Windows, and the web
  • Cost: Free with an in-app purchase to remove the ads and receive a 25-day forecast.

Weather Underground: Forecast

Weather Underground is a popular weather service and with good reason. The iPhone app gives you everything you need and more. You get daily and hourly forecasts with a summary, the air quality index and smart forecasts based on activity, videos, news, health data, and webcams.

For the widget, you can pick from two different ones or use them both. One provides weather details for current conditions and what’s coming up. The other gives you a convenient radar map so you know if bad weather is on the way. You can also pick the widget location and data visualization style.

  • Availability: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Android, and the web
  • Cost: Free with an in-app purchase to remove the ads.
