Best Weather App

[Chae1]

I've used wunderground for years, but after latest update have found it isn't nearly as good.

Features i particularly liked about it was, the fact it was connected to local weather stations. Gave you alerts for rain,what time it would come on. Current weather in top bar of phone. I know i just need to look to see current weather!

Interested to know what you guys would recommend?

Not the bbc....their app doesn’t even match their tv weather

I like WeatherPro and use it in conjunction with Rain Today for rain alerts.

I also use the Norwegian met service app call YR.

Gave up with the Met Office years ago. I’m less than 10miles from their HQ and if they bothered to look out the window a bit they might get the local forecast right....

I've had some success with the Met Office recently - they have a location about a mile from my place, and it seems to be pretty accurate - certainly good enough to plan for the gaps in the rain.

WeatherPro and RainToday. YR is well spoken of but I’ve not used it much. Met Office is useful for day long rain radar maps. BBC is a good cross reference app.

If they all agree, there’s a good level of confidence that it’s all right. If they all disagree then put the phone down and look out of the window!

Dark Sky is pretty good even gives you rain alerts before it starts.

YR is my preference too, despite being a couple of miles from Met Office HQ. Apparently when they built the office they forgot to put windows in it, so didn’t realise how wrong their current super computer was until they got caught on the A38 in an unforecasted snow storm a few years ago.
