FMI Weather review
A free mobile forecast app with global locations and Finland-focused warnings and aurora forecasts.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
FMI Weather brings forecasts, observations and weather maps to iOS and Android. It is aimed at people who want a free mobile forecast for locations worldwide, while offering additional Finland-specific information for local users. Forecasts extend up to 10 days ahead, and the app includes hourly forecasts, sunrise and sunset times, and moon phases. Users can customize forecast parameters including temperature, precipitation and wind.
The map is a notable part of the offering: it animates rainfall and observed lightning, with temperature and wind animations across Scandinavia. This gives users several ways to inspect weather conditions beyond the location forecast. For Finland, the app also provides weather warnings and a short-term aurora forecast. The geographic distinction matters: global location coverage is broad, but warnings and aurora information are specifically tied to Finland. GDPR is listed among its compliance attributes.
The published plan is Free and includes forecasts, observations, forecasts up to 10 days ahead, an interactive map and weather warnings. The app is free of charge, with no paid tier described. FMI Weather suits people who want a no-cost mobile forecast with global locations, especially those interested in Finnish warnings or aurora conditions. It is a less natural fit for people seeking warnings for countries beyond Finland, or a desktop service; the listed platforms are iOS and Android, and support is via email.
