What's the best Android app for detailed weather forecasts specifically for mountain areas and changing terrain?

Peaks2Plains Weather is a specialized application developed by meteorologist Matt Meister, designed to address the unique weather forecasting needs of regions with varied topography. For users planning a hike in the Rockies, a ski trip, or even just commuting from the plains to higher elevations, standard weather apps often fall short by providing generalized zone forecasts. This app focuses on delivering hyper-local predictions that account for the significant microclimates created by elevation changes, slope aspect, and valley effects. It offers detailed hour-by-hour breakdowns for wind speed and direction at different altitudes, temperature gradients, and precipitation type—crucial data for determining if a mountain pass will be clear or if rain in the valley means snow on the trail.

A key feature is its focus on user safety and planning, providing clear indications for conditions like wind chill at summit levels or the potential for sudden afternoon thunderstorms common in mountainous regions. Reviews indicate the interface presents this complex data in a relatively straightforward layout, with charts and graphs dedicated to elevation-based forecasts. However, the very specificity that makes it excellent for its target audience can mean its interface feels less intuitive for someone only checking the weather in a flat, urban area. Some user feedback suggests that while the forecasting is highly regarded for accuracy in complex terrain, the app's design prioritizes function over broad visual appeal.
