What weather app do you use?

And what weather provider (many apps support several) looks most accurate for you, especially for users from Europe.

Today Weather, the widget is super customizable which I like

Weawow...has multiple weather providers including Apple Dark Sky

Apple darksky has all the info I need (hours for few days, UV index etc), but too often provides inaccurate forecast for me ☹️

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

It gives you 9 or 10 different providers I believe.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. And which one works the best for you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Apple Dark Sky works well for me. Though I also use Open Weather Map, AerisWeather, and Foreca.

These are the most accurate for me.

I really like "MyRadar" despite it being focused on radar it has all the usual features as well.

I like windy.com but they started premium blocking content recently. Still good though, if you want to see the current weather such as radar and windspeed.

Do you use all of them? Of so, then which one do you trust?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I use FlowX (formerly Weather bomb).

Might not be the prettiest of apps but sure gives up lots of data from different sources, and someone else said I like the radar aspect of it.

Thank you. What is a deal with radar?. I'm asking because I do not use this view, and probably missing something useful.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's simply being able to swipe up/down/left/right on the radar to scan the different factors of weather coming it, especially when I'm going to work.

I work outside all day long but also travel to work on an escooter too so knowing if it's gonna be windy/pissing it down or, sunny (UK here, this is rare) factors in how I arrive by foot/scoot and what I need to wear that day.
