What's the best iOS app for keeping an eye on proper dodgy weather when I'm trekking about, especially if I'm in the middle of nowhere?

Storm Radar is an absolute godsend! It gives you super detailed radar views, so you can see exactly what's heading your way, even when you're off the grid.

Honestly, Storm Radar has saved my bacon more than once! I was hiking in the Scottish Highlands last year, miles from anywhere, and this app gave me the heads-up about a massive storm rolling in. I managed to find a bothy just in time, thanks to the detailed radar. It works perfectly even in rural spots where the signal is rubbish, which is brilliant. Plus, it doesn't eat up your roaming data too much, which is always a bonus when you're bouncing around Europe. The detailed views are just proper useful for planning hikes and knowing when to bail out if things get a bit hairy. It's definitely one of the first apps I download before any big trip now – couldn't be without it!
