Samsung has teamed up with The Weather Channel company to create an exclusive weather app for its Galaxy S6 Edge and Note 5.

 

The app's core function is to predict the weather conditions for a particular time and location. The other notable information includes the moment of sunrise and sunset, wind speed and direction, humidity, dew point, pressure, and UV index.

Advanced functions of the app include hourly weather information for up to 48 hours ahead of time and daily forecasts until the next fortnight, The Android Police reported.

 

Moving on to the video section, one can skim through a bunch of viral videos about global weather conditions as well as local weather reports.

The app also offers several tweaks within the settings including options for a persistent weather notification, changing units of measurement, and floating shortcuts.

 

Also, the app features a quick reminder to wake you up and get your ready, before an impending weather change impacts your schedule. Custom alerts are also supported such as real-time rain, snow and other weather safety alerts.
