Which one do you use?

I don't use a phone I use a PC.

I used to use intellicast and found it very accurate.

Then wunderground stepped in and it's a mess....

I'm looking for a new one......
 

I use an unknown app on my wifi powered cell phone. I still call the weather on my home phone, too. They vary.:sentimental:
 
It's not an app, but weather.com is the online Weather Channel. My iPhone came with a weather app installed.
 

I don't use any 'Apps' - I just look at weather sites on my laptop. My particular corner of Scotland seems to have its own micro-climate. As far as I can see, any of the weather forecasts can just about get the day correct and the weather is just as accurate as your Horoscope! Curiously, the BBC gets its forecasts from the Met office, but quite often when you look, they are totally different.
 
The BBC no longer use the met office as they're weather provider.
Instead they use an independent forecasting company called MetoGroup...


I am tired of no forecast ever being right... either on TV..or on my apps.

Google Home and Amazon Echo must take their forecast from the same source, Google home always tells me it's going to be ''partly cloudy'' on the day until the actual morning, when it changes to whatever the forecast is in reality for that day...

I find Spanish forecasters get it right 95% of the times..so how we can't get it right here in the Uk, I'll never know..

On my phone Weatherpro..is the one that is least reliable of them all...

Online I'd probably use Accuweather, but even that is wrong much of the time...

LOL..in fact I've just looked online at accuweather forecast for today and it says it's currently cloudy... It's not, it's glorious sunshine... ;)
 
I use www.weather.com (The Weather Channel).

For my area, they're not too bad for up to three days out; then more of a guess for the next two weeks. I do like having the availability of short term hourly forecasts and the easy access to radar. But to say that weather forecasting is an "inexact science" is a gross understatement. :rolleyes:
 
I use weather.com, and also the app that came with my phone.

In Nashville, we also have a local weather site called Nashville Severe Weather (NSW) which is run by the hubs of one of my friends and a couple other men. It's my go-to, not just because it's a friend's thing, but because it's very informative and so much information is communicated in a very user-friendly way,. It's my fave. A lot of folks use it. It's won awards.
 
I use First Coast Weather app, but have two other cities, in Colorado, on it as well. This is a Jacksonville, FL app, but you add other cities in other states for weather.
 
I check two sites on the PC. Weather Channel and Accuweather. They rarely agree. I don't know if they use different models or not. So, I try to 'split the difference'.

Please please let me know when you find a good one

I’ve got three going and it’s like they are each predicting weather for dissimilar parts of the globe.

And as for current temps, none are close to the mercury here on my porch.
 
intellicast was really accurate for my neck of the woods..

Guess that's why it's gone ..not too many folks out here..

...Looks like weather.com wins...for now...
 
I've tried and hated them all for one reason or another -- accuracy not being one of the reasons. Some of them used to be quite good but they've gotten worse over the years. They've gone from nice colors to nothing but shades of gray; not giving me concise, brief forecasts.

Also, it depends on what you want to know: The rest of the day? Overnight? Tomorrow?

Believe it or not, for my tastes I'm back to the National Weather Service. It tells me just what I want to know, no more, no less. Here is a cropped example of my local 7 day forecast. Click here to visit the site, and you can plug in your location.
