Better Weather PLUS

Better-Weather Plus offers you precise real-time weather information.
Thanks to the combination of numerous weather models and AI evaluation, you always receive the best forecasts for your location, which are updated at intervals of 5 to 15 minutes.

The real-time alarm system:
Better-Weather uses a real-time alert system when official severe weather warnings are issued. (e.g. DWD). For this we use our own network protocol, which avoids the known time delays of push messages in order to be informed in a timely manner. Around 14,000 new severe weather warnings are available worldwide every 10 minutes, which are delivered to the apps within ~30 seconds if necessary.
Of course, this can be deactivated by the user at any time.
