“From being a conversation starter through to how it will affect our journey into work, as a nation we’re often fascinated by the weather,” said Kinnell. Guy Kinnell, head of TV and AV at Samsung Electronics UK & Ireland, said that the Weather App would provide a highly accurate service for Samsung TV viewers: Other features for more enthusiastic weather-watchers include cloud layer maps and radar maps, severe weather warnings and on-screen notifications, as well as current conditions and detailed forecasts for every hour, for the next 36 hours, and for the next ten days. One of the best features for more ghoulish Smart TV owners might be the live TV streams which broadcast from around the country during severe weather conditions, allowing you to appreciate the full force of those gusty gales and ferocious floods that have been battering the UK recently. More importantly, the app is designed to make full use of Samsung’s voice and motion controls, which means that it’ll be easier than ever to access those all-important local forecasts, come wind rain or shine.

Content is displayed in an intuitive and easy-to-use interface, while various background images mimic current weather conditions. Whilst most of us probably already have some kind of weather-themed app on our Smartphones already, The Weather Channels says that it’s Smart TV app is far easier on the eyes. The app has been made available to download today in the Samsung Apps Smart TV store. The Weather Channel’s new app features live TV streaming, severe weather reports, detailed weather forecasts and user-generated content. Samsung TV owners should never be caught in the cold again, after the Korean firm announced a new partnership with The Weather Channel to deliver its app onto its smart TVs.
