Weather apps, huh? Ever heard of looking out the window?

Wait you have a weather app you like? None of mine are remotely accurate

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

I check them all and choose the nicest forecast

[–] Greyfoxsolid 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Nothing really compares to what Dark Sky was, but MyRadar is as close as I could find and I've tried all the major and some not so major apps on the Google Play store.

[–] DanglingFury 1 points 8 months ago

Can't find a forecast as good as wunderground and can't find a radar as good as myradar. They live side by side on my phone

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Wunderground has been the most accurate for me. You can also narrow the forecast down to your zip code.

[–] Ejh3k 2 points 8 months ago

I've been using it for at least 15 years at this point, and my job relies on accurate forecasts.

The weather channel app has some pretty good widgets. No adds on the widgets either

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I use the one in the pic, and I have to say it is pretty damn good at predicting rain.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Any app that works with the Spanish weather provider will have the best predictions possible for me, it's sad that most don't let you swap providers.

I love breezy weather, but the widget has stopped updating since the last OS update. I've tried all of the stuff to prevent killing background apps. Anyone know a fix?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Breezy Weather all the way, also like Flowx app for it's easy to read and condensed whole week chart also available at a widget, name and icon looks like period taking app but believe me it's a weather app, shame it's not open source

This is a shit meme, dude.

Yeah MyRadar is the only app that seems to give me a reasonably accurate forecast in Ohio. I block ads and mostly look at the actual radar though.

Wunderground went to crap and I've really tried to like Shadow Weather but it's wrong too often. Meteo Weather Widget is decent but not as useful to me as radar.

[–] Greyfoxsolid 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I've tried the majority of the weather apps on the android app store, and they're all just mediocre compared to MyRadar.

Then again, MyRadar is mediocre compared to what Dark Sky was. What an unfortunate situation with that app being bought by Apple and turned into WeatherKit or whatever. That was the best weather app, hands down.

Weather underground was so good before IBM bought it, it's a shame

Gross, much prefer Wx, Breezy Weather and sometimes RadarOmega to watch severe weather outbreaks.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (6 children)

weather.gov works fine, thanks

[–] obinice 2 points 8 months ago

That looks pretty useless unless you live in whatever country there based in though, which certainly isn't the UK.

Nobody has mentioned windy. It has multiple maps and multiple sources you can look through. Highly recommend

[–] Chainweasel 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

To add to this, very much the red icon windy app, not the blue one.

[–] blackfire 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] Chainweasel 4 points 8 months ago

It's a different app of the same name but it's very much geared toward sporting weather than active weather.
It's probably great if you go sailing a lot or fly a plane, but it's not the best for hourly weather and radar.
They have the same name but it's too very different experiences.
The windy app with a red icon is far superior in my opinion.

[–] Buddahriffic 1 points 8 months ago

Yeah, I like the map view so much better than the way forecasts are usually given because it gives much better context. You can see the cold and warm fronts and the various storms in the area and watch the forecasts hone in on the truth as time passes and they need to rely less on intermediate forecasts as they get replaced with actual data.

I love Breezy Weather!

[–] dexxen 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I really like Weawow. I can customize the weather source and display it without ads.

I use Google since that has hourly. Couldn't get that on breezy

[–] Mango 1 points 8 months ago

I use that because I can't be bothered with a weather app.

Kids these days with their GUIs and fancy apps. Just curl wttr.in as Thompson intended.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

They're not always correct, tho: recently checked it, it said smth like 14C which is supposed to be comfortable (yet it felt quite hot outside), then checked another provider -- 18C (yeah, that's closer).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Wx is available for free on fdroid. You're welcome.

[–] Greyfoxsolid 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Just installed f droid to check this out. I don't like it. Way too bare bones and not really intuitive.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It's free/libre, open source and has accurate doppler radar and forecasts. It's one of those get what you pay for deals except he doesn't sell your data.
