GERMANTOWN, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WeatherBug®, the popular weather provider trusted by millions, debuts WeatherBug for Apple Watch – delivering the power of the largest weather network, including severe weather alerts, the most advanced lightning detection capabilities, and accurate neighborhood-level weather conditions and forecasts – directly to your wrist.
The app can be downloaded free of charge in the Apple App Store.
WeatherBug delivers the most localized weather information that you care about across the devices – desktop, smartphone, tablet, or a smartwatch – that reflect how you live, work, and play.

- Stay Safer with Weather Alerts: When it comes to severe weather, minutes matter. WeatherBug for Apple Watch provides weather alerts and displays exclusive Spark™ lightning proximity updates right on your wrist to tell you how far away lightning is – whether you’re at the game, walking your dog or riding your bike.
- Prepare for Sun and Allergies: Stay a step ahead of your allergies and check if you’ll need that SPF 30 sunblock! WeatherBug provides quick access to current wind, pollen and UV conditions you need to start your day and plan ahead.
- Continuity Across Apple Devices: WeatherBug for Apple Watch lets you easily check out more in-depth content on your iPhone’s larger screen via Apple’s Handoff feature.
