The definition of bad weather is quite subjective. Each of us has a unique sense of weather perception. Some can’t stand the cold, others like the feel of frost on cheeks, some like reading while it rains and others get depressed because of rain. When you see 7℃, what does it say to you? You need to think a fraction of a second to realise is that good weather or bad one. Bad Weather app just tells you straight – it will be bad weather, according to your criteria, of course. But wait, is that enough? Is just knowing the good or bad weather is what we need? Partly. When it is good weather – no much additional info required, this fact itself is fulfilling. In case of bad weather coming – we need to know when, or how much time we have until it finally reaches. This app does exactly that – shows you a countdown to the next bad weather event, and again, according to your definition of bad weather.
