AccuWeather is one of the best weather apps for Windows 8 users who aren't quite pleased with the default program offered by Microsoft and preinstalled on the majority of copies of its modern operating system.

An update released today promises to improve the overall experience by fixing some old bugs and thus help the app run smoother and be more reliable on both desktops and tablets.

According to the official release notes published in the Windows Store, the new version comes with bug fixes, but also with push notification capabilities.

The feature lineup remains unchanged, so you have the same options to get the weather forecast, receive severe weather notices, and analyze fully interactive Bing Maps with weather data.

“We designed it with you in mind because so many decisions are made based on the weather. You get a quick look at current weather conditions for the next 72 hours with an easy swipe to a calendar view of the forecasted conditions for each of the next 25 days – including the option to open up any of the 25 days for more weather detail!” the app description published in the store reads.

Overall, this new update should be installed by everyone as soon as possible, so download AccuWeather for Windows 8.1 right now to see what's new.
