Need the forecast for your location, plus a quick look at conditions later in the week? MSN Weather brings current conditions, hourly and 10-day forecasts, maps, and weather alerts into a Windows app.
Which forecast details can you check?
Choose a town or city to see current conditions, including temperature, wind chill, wind speed and direction, visibility, atmospheric pressure, humidity, and dew point. Forecast data comes from Foreca.
The hourly view tracks temperature and weather conditions through the day, while the 10-day forecast gives a longer view for planning ahead. The app also shows sunrise and sunset times, along with moonrise and moonset.
Weather maps and monthly patterns
Map layers show conditions such as current temperature, precipitation, radar, wind, cloud coverage, humidity, and visibility. These views offer a geographic look at current patterns and expected conditions in the coming days.
For historical context, MSN Weather presents monthly averages and extremes for a location. Bar charts show average temperatures, highs and lows, absolute records, and typical precipitation.
