Though weather forecasting is a notoriously inexact science, thanks to voice assistants, pop-up notifications and buzzing smartwatches, it's easier than ever to keep tabs on the day's weather (and dress accordingly). Of course, checking the truncated weather forecast on your phone might be convenient, but it could also mean you're losing out on valuable information that could help you deal with the heat, rain, or general mugginess outside. That's where desktop weather apps come in.

Web: Dark Sky is one of the coolest weather apps, providing minute-by-minute weather tracking. Up until now, it's only been available in the US on iOS or Android phones, but now everyone can finally use it on the web - including Australians.
