There aren't many weather apps for Android Auto, but the ones I found work very well.
Android Auto has a fairly deep roster of useful apps you probably haven't downloaded, but there's one area it's surprisingly limited -- weather. If you've ever hit a huge storm on a road trip, though, or seen ominous clouds piling up in the sky ahead of your commute, you know how useful weather insight can be.
I'm a bit of a weather nerd, and I love taking a peek at the radar and forecasts even if I don't expect storms to have a direct impact on my day. When I tried to see what apps I could add to my car's screen for easy access, though, I was a bit disappointed.

I only found two main options: MyRadar and Weather & Radar. There are a few other choices that don't have full Android Auto integration, some more apps for the confusingly named but different Android Automotive, and of course, you can mirror your phone to show any app.
After testing both apps for about a week, I found both useful, but one had a few features that set it apart. If you're looking for the best weather app for Android Auto, here's my pick.
The MyRadar app isn't just the best Android Auto weather app; it's also one of the most robust weather apps I've used. It's as easy to use as any other weather app, but it provides a lot more information. At its core, it's a radar app that lets you see live weather radar for your location or any other location you search for, making it a useful tool for tracking approaching storms. The real value in this app goes beyond basic radar.
