A Weather Underground download takes about a minute on any device. On a phone, you get the free WU app from the App Store or Google Play. On a Windows 11 or Windows 10 PC or a Mac, you install wunderground.com as a desktop app from Chrome, Edge or Safari.
The app and the website pull hyperlocal conditions from more than 250,000 personal weather stations, so the desktop app shows the same neighborhood readings as your phone.
This guide covers which download fits each device, the official links, install steps for Windows and Mac, what Premium adds, and fixes for the most common install and sign-in problems.
Which Weather Underground download do you need?
Match your device to a row. Phone rows install from a store, and desktop rows install from the browser.

| Windows 11 or Windows 10 PC | wunderground.com, installed as an app in Chrome or Edge | Nothing to download |
| Mac on macOS Sonoma 14 or later | wunderground.com, added to the Dock from Safari | Nothing to download |
WunderMap, the interactive radar and weather station map, opens from the Today page of the same web app.

How to install Weather Underground on Windows 11 and 10 with Chrome
Chrome turns wunderground.com into a windowed app that opens from the taskbar. It runs without tabs or an address bar.
- Open Chrome and go to wunderground.com.
- Search for your city or ZIP code so the app opens on your local forecast.
- Select More, the three-dot button at the top right.
- Select Cast, save, and share, then Install page as app.
- Rename the app to Weather Underground if you want, then select Install.
- Right-click the new window’s taskbar icon and select Pin to taskbar.
Allow location access when the site asks, and the app opens on the closest personal weather station.
Install Weather Underground on Windows with Microsoft Edge instead of the Store
A Microsoft Store search for Weather Underground returns no app from Weather Underground or The Weather Company. Edge builds the same windowed app with nothing extra to download.
- Open Microsoft Edge and go to wunderground.com.
- Select Settings and more, the three-dot button at the top right.
- Select More tools, then Apps, then Install this site as an app.
- Name the app and select Install.
- Go to edge://apps and select Details on the Weather Underground card.
- Select Pin to taskbar or Pin to Start.
Skip Store apps that use the Weather Underground name under a different publisher. MSN Weather from Microsoft is the built-in Store alternative.
Which Weather Underground download do you need for your Mac?
The App Store version of Weather Underground runs on iPhone and iPad only. On a Mac, wunderground.com runs as a web app.
| Your Mac | What to do | Source |
|---|---|---|
| macOS Sonoma 14 or later | Safari: File > Add to Dock on wunderground.com | Apple |
| Older macOS with Chrome | Chrome: More > Cast, save, and share > Install page as app | |
| Any Mac, no install | wunderground.com in a normal browser tab | Weather Underground |
| You also check the weather on an iPhone | Weather Underground on the App Store, 94.6 MB | Apple App Store |
To add the Safari app, open wunderground.com, choose File > Add to Dock, type a name and click Add. Safari saves it to the Applications folder in your home folder, and it also opens from Spotlight.
Is Weather Underground free?
Yes. The Weather Underground app and wunderground.com are free with ads, and Premium is an optional annual subscription. Both store listings mark the app as free with in-app purchases, and Google Play adds a Contains ads label. Premium removes all ads from the app, adds Smart Forecasts that tell you when your chosen outdoor conditions arrive, and extends hourly forecasts to 15 days. The free app already covers hourly and daily forecasts up to 10 days, radar, satellite and severe weather alerts.
Premium renews automatically. Cancel it in your App Store or Google Play account settings at least 24 hours before the period ends to avoid the next charge.
Should you use the WU phone app or the website on your computer?
Use the phone app for alerts on the go, and wunderground.com on your computer for WunderMap, history and station data on a larger screen. The phone app sets severe weather alerts for your exact position and holds the Premium features you pay for. The website runs the redesigned Weather Underground layout, with a Compact mode that fits more data onto smaller screens and light or dark themes that follow your browser. Both read from the same personal weather station network.
A Premium purchase made in the App Store or Google Play is billed through that store account.
How to check your Weather Underground version and update it
The web app on a PC or Mac has no version number. It loads the current wunderground.com every time it opens.
- On an iPhone, open the App Store listing for Weather Underground and scroll to What’s New to see the current version.
- Tap your profile picture in the App Store and tap Update next to Weather Underground.
- On Android, open Google Play, tap your profile picture, then Manage apps & device, and update Weather Underground.
- On a PC or Mac, keep Chrome, Edge or Safari up to date, because the web app runs inside the browser.
Turn on automatic app updates in the store settings, and the phone app stays current without any checks.
How to sign in with one account across WU and weather.com
In the United States, a Weather Underground member account also works on weather.com and The Weather Channel apps. Sign in once per device with the same email.
- Open wunderground.com/login in the browser or web app.
- Enter your Email and Password, then select Log In.
- If you created the account with Google and have no password, select Forgot Password? to set one.
- Without an account, select Sign up under the login form.
- Sign in with the same email in the Weather Underground phone app.
To change the email on an account that holds a subscription, follow the support article on updating your email address and subscription.
