Formed in the Caribbean and has since gained in strength. For those of you who are worried about the projected path of the hurricane, then you will want to use The Weather Channel App, as it is one of the best on the App Store thanks to its tracker feature.

The app can draw from the experience of 200 or so meteorologists, offering updated details on not only Irene but also all other storms and hurricanes to hit the Atlantic. The app, which is available for all iOS devices offers a future forecast of where these weather systems are heading, which allows you to plan ahead.

When using the app for everyday weather reports it not only gives you 15-minute forecasts but also Push Notifications as well. In order for you not to see ads you will need to purchase the paid version – although the fee is nominal. This is a small price to pay when the weather plays such an important part of your day.

When there is the threat that Hurricane Irene could be headed towards you or a loved one it is much better to know in advance. We know that there are numerous weather reports throughout the day, but these are no good if you are not in front of your TV. With apps like The Weather Channel you will have instant access while on the go.

Some of the main features include: interactive maps, video of breaking news, upload and view photos and videos, hourly and 10-day forecasts, and the ability to upload your local weather to your Facebook wall. More details on this app can be found on iTunes; you will be pleased to know that it was last updated on August 15th.

Being able to keep up-to-date with the latest weather reports used to be hard while out and about, but the range of apps available has made this task much simpler.

We thought that we would take a look at a few of the weather apps that are available for the Apple iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad. The first of these is ‘The Weather Channel Max’, which comes in two versions one for the iPhone and the other for the iPad. Remember that you will have to pay more to get the ad-free version. I can tell you by experience that this app has it all, and is the only one to offer future radar information. More details here.

Another app worth considering is ‘Weather+’ and is universal, which means that it can be used on all iOS devices. This does not have the number of features that the previous app has, but you still get a 5-day forecast – which will certainly come in handy with all this bad weather we are currently experiencing. For more details visit App Shopper.

One app that your Apple smartphone or tablet should not be without is ‘Weather Alert USA’. The reason we say this is simple; even if you have this app turned off you will still receive severe weather alerts 24/7. This will come to you in the form of audio and pop-up alerts. The price you pay is just $2.99; more details here.

These are just a handful of weather apps for iOS devices, which one do you use?
