The Breezy Weather (fdroid link) is a fork and continuation of GeometricWeather. As I can see, there are hourly forecasts for the next days, just scroll horizontally (AccuWeather and Open-Meteo providers, tho, I haven't checked others).

I just wish it had a precipitation radar. I'm pretty sure the data is available because I've seen another FOSS app that had it, but I can't remember which now.
wX can show radar as well as daily/hourly for the next week or so. Not super pretty to look at but extremely functional
I couldn't agree more. Hmm. Maybe OSS Weather [fdroid link] has a radar map, but it didn't provide much information. Unfortunately, I don't remember
This one has been an absolute discovery. Amazing app well beyond the others I've tested up to now. Recommended.
I like rain: https://github.com/DarkMooNight/Rain
"Rain" is also available at Izzy's: https://android.izzysoft.de/repo/apk/com.yoshi.rain
Another vote from me for Rain. Much nicer to look at than the BBC Weather App.
Not FOSS, but did you know you can get your weather forecasts straight from the source? Weather.gov gives not only a standard 7 day forecast but also provides all sorts of weather data and lots of the charts on the site is designed to be customized then bookmarked even if your browser has cookies disabled!
wX gets its data from weather.gov and is open source. It has a lot of forecast products and can even notify you of watches and warnings.
wX is actually terrifying in its depth.
This is the right choice. Everything else is pretty much just a different frontend for the same data.
omWeather, on fdroid
+1 for Breezy weather
Breezy Weather is the obvious option here, as many others have said.
Geometric Weather is outdated and Breezy Weather is the updated fork of it. So it's an improved version.
I'm using Forecastie and Weather Widget. Both use openweathermap but via its public API, so only need internet access and your location
Been using forcastie for years and I like it. However there are plenty good apps I am sure on F-Droid.
Not FOSS, but free and ad-free, from a small Japanese developer: Weawow. The only thing that requires you to make a small donation is to unlock a couple of weather providers, but you have a big selection without it.
Suntimes also has weather!
Putting it here as its own child comment..
wX (Gitlab link) is my new "standard" weather app. It's a bit crusty and dense in data, but man the density is a feature, not a bug in my opinion.
Do you build it yourself?
I just use the play store
Love wx, I use it along side storm shield to get a good idea of the storms rolling in.
Anyone know of any good options for iOS?
I'm using Flux, but it hasn't been updated for over a year. And I don't think it's open source
