Weather app?

[George K]

On my iPad, I use the Yahoo weather app. Nothing fancy, but it does what I need.

On my Mac, it's WeatherBug.

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/id1137406490

Pretty 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.

Thanks folks. I’ll try a few of these.

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

+1 I like their Minutecast feature.

AccuWeather and MyRadar apps the phone.

I must be old. I'm still using NOAA, and I like it, thank you very much.

I look out the window

That's pretty easy when you live in the desert.

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…

You need to stop setting Minneapolis as your current location, bro
