Our verdict on MyWorldWeather
MyWorldWeather is a free mobile weather app for Android and iOS, developed by the Hong Kong Observatory on behalf of the World Meteorological Organization. It is for people who want an official forecast for their location without choosing a city first. Location-based detection automatically displays a nearby city’s forecast, and users can also view forecasts for other nearby cities. The app’s general weather focus suits straightforward forecast checks rather than people seeking a more feature-rich weather toolkit.
Its main distinction is the source of its forecasts: the service uses weather information supplied by participating National Meteorological and Hydrological Services. That gives the app a clear purpose for users who prioritize official city forecasts. Location detection and nearby-city coverage keep that information relevant when a user is not looking for a single fixed city. The app is also listed for iOS and AppGallery, while its described deployment is mobile. Email is the stated support channel.
The trade-off is scope. MyWorldWeather centers on official city forecasts and nearby-city forecasts, with fewer features and less forecast detail than fuller weather apps. It is a reasonable fit for users who want a simple, free source of official local information; people who depend on radar layers, severe-weather alerts, or more detailed forecasting should consider an alternative. It is operated on behalf of the World Meteorological Organization, with the Hong Kong Observatory as developer, rather than presented as a broad weather platform.
