Weather - By Xiaomi for Android

Weather - By Xiaomi is a weather information app by Xiaomi Inc. that shows current conditions, forecasts and air quality details for the places you care about. It first appeared in April 2020 and has since reached a very large audience, with more than a billion installs recorded and a rating of 4.12 based on over 1.29 million ratings. It is free to use, carries no advertising and offers no in-app purchases, and it is rated for everyone.

The core idea is to keep the essentials in one place instead of spreading them across several screens. You get the current temperature, minimum and maximum values for the day, rain outlook and the Air Quality Index together, along with sunrise and sunset times, fog and rain forecasts, wind speed and direction, real feel temperature, UV index and atmospheric pressure. A five-day outlook covers the working week, while hourly updates track temperature and wind as the day moves along. Home screen widgets put the most useful numbers where you can see them without opening anything.

The interface reacts to the weather itself, so the look of the screen changes with the conditions outside. Support for up to ten cities makes it easy to follow the weather where family lives or where a trip is planned, and a single screen lets you compare those cities side by side. Air quality gets its own attention, with pollutant levels, alerts and practical suggestions that explain what the index numbers mean. Version G-13.0.2.1, dated February 2023, is a maintenance release focused on bug fixes.

Fresh Updates · G-13.0.2.1

Version G-13.0.2.1 of Weather - By Xiaomi was released on February 6, 2023. The release notes for this update list bug fixes, so users can expect corrections to issues present in earlier builds. The app itself shows current temperature, rain forecast, and Air Quality Index data in one view, supports adding up to 10 cities, and provides a 5-day forecast with hourly updates. It requires Android 7.0 or later and is free to use.

Commuters who check conditions before leaving home, people who follow the weather in several cities where relatives live or where they plan to travel, and anyone who wants air quality readings and pollution guidance alongside a standard forecast.

Grant location access if you want the app to follow your current position automatically; otherwise add your city manually and pin the widget to your home screen for a quick daily check.

Weather - By Xiaomi covers the everyday basics well: current conditions, a five-day outlook, hourly updates and detailed air quality information in one place, without ads or purchases. The large install base and solid rating suggest it handles those tasks reliably for most people. Its main limitation is that the listed build is an older bug-fix release, so expectations should stay modest.
