Weather in India varies from region to region. Moreover, the onset of Monsoon calls for an increased awareness in terms of weather. The availability of faster mobile internet services like 3G, and now 4G, has further benefited the cause of smartphones.
But even then, a very crucial app is usually missing from most smartphones in India. Weather apps aren’t really popular in India.
