Weather app?
-
One day I decided that I needed an App to show me the radar map with just one click. So I set out to build the App. But first I checked the store, just in case.
I found "My Radar", perfect, 1-click, current radar and fast. It has all kinds of extras you can buy, but I use it for a quick read on the radar. Just radar is free.

I use one called Dark Sky. It has all the features I like in a weather app. Which is to say it tells me the temperature and the forecast. It also tells me it is raining, after I see that it is raining, which is good confirmation of my ties to reality. This affirmation would come in more handy for leftists, who have tenuous connections to reality.
I second @Horace's recommendation for Dark Sky.

I second @Ivorythumper’s and third @Horace’s suggestion. I used dark sky about 95% of the time… although I have found it’s best within the next 12-24 hours, but 2-7 days out the accuracy seems to fluctuate a bit.

When I want a lot of detail and more forecast details several days out, I use https://aviationweather.gov
This is weather for pilots.
If I just want a quick look at hourly temps, precip % and wind, I use https://weather.com

On iPhone, I use the one pre-installed by Apple.
On iPad, I use this https://apps.apple.com/us/app/weather/id1137406490Pretty basic, and the ads are not annoying. I don’t really use the Weather app much on iPads, but it works well enough for me.

I use Geometric Weather.
Real open source, no ads, no spying, very detailed weather information.
It's only available for Android, though.

I use AccuWeather, but it's a website. I'm sure they have an app, but I've never installed it.

Which is pretty accurate in the moment but doesn’t too you much about tomorrow.

For radar I use this, but imagine there are a billion similar to it:

I know weather underground and Windy are both really good too. Almost too good (many options).

@Mik I live in the suburban jungle. Nearest camels and desert are a few hours drive away.

Ok just being snarky.
I use the generic weather app on my iPhone. Seems to know when it’s going to rain.

This morning I am dressing for work… “Hey Siri, what’s today’s forecast?” “It’s currently 61 degrees. Today’s high will be 64 and will drop to the high 40’s by late afternoon.”
It’s 86 degrees right now…
Finley and I were at the park 46 minutes ago. I noticed a couple of drops. Check Accuweather Minutecast. “No Precipitation In Sight!” We keep playing… 5 minutes later we are hiding in a gazebo from a torrential downpour with lightning and thunder…
