Another great feature of The Weather Channel app is the social function. It lets you report the weather from where you are with the option to add photos, showing real-time data from other users. If you choose to report the weather conditions in your location, you have to wait at least 15 minutes before you can report again.

If you're worried about severe weather, you can get alerts of extreme weather for any of your saved locations, as well as for pollen.
