Weather apps are probably some of the more underrated apps around. They are incredibly useful if you’re trying to figure out if you should bring an umbrella with you today, or if it might be a good idea to have a BBQ in the afternoon, and so on. Well if you’re looking for a weather app, perhaps Yahoo Weather could be worth considering.

The app for smartphone devices has recently been updated that will introduce animation effects to the app. Basically the app will animate its display based on the weather in your area, so for example if it is raining outside, the display should also display a rainy effect, and the same will apply if it is snowing, if there are thunderstorms, cloudy, and so on.

This isn’t exactly a new feature as there are apps out there that already feature such animations, but if you’re an avid Yahoo Weather user then we reckon that this is an update worth checking out. In fact some of these animations were introduced in iOS 8 to the iOS version of Yahoo Weather, but effects like frost and lightning are new additions to the app.

The update is available for both iOS and Android devices, so if you have yet to update your app or want to take Yahoo Weather for a spin, head on over to either the iTunes App Store or Google Play for the download. In the meantime you can check out some of the animations in the video above.
