Nothing really compares to what Dark Sky was, but MyRadar is as close as I could find and I've tried all the major and some not so major apps on the Google Play store.
I love breezy weather, but the widget has stopped updating since the last OS update. I've tried all of the stuff to prevent killing background apps. Anyone know a fix?
Breezy Weather all the way, also like Flowx app for it's easy to read and condensed whole week chart also available at a widget, name and icon looks like period taking app but believe me it's a weather app, shame it's not open source
Yeah MyRadar is the only app that seems to give me a reasonably accurate forecast in Ohio. I block ads and mostly look at the actual radar though.
Wunderground went to crap and I've really tried to like Shadow Weather but it's wrong too often. Meteo Weather Widget is decent but not as useful to me as radar.
I've tried the majority of the weather apps on the android app store, and they're all just mediocre compared to MyRadar.
Then again, MyRadar is mediocre compared to what Dark Sky was. What an unfortunate situation with that app being bought by Apple and turned into WeatherKit or whatever. That was the best weather app, hands down.
Pull down the shade at the top where it has your location and a basic 2-day forecast. Then if you scroll down you can see an hourly as well as a detailed 10-day forecast.
If you're in the US (as Obinice pointed out), type your zipcode in the box in the top left and you've got your hyper local forecast and any relevant warnings and watches. I don't care for or want extra notifications, so that's a bit of a blindspot for me.
Also, if you're using firefox on android you can hit the 3 dots and "install" the zipcode specific forecast, which just gives you a shortcut to that page on your homescreen.
It's a different app of the same name but it's very much geared toward sporting weather than active weather.
It's probably great if you go sailing a lot or fly a plane, but it's not the best for hourly weather and radar.
They have the same name but it's too very different experiences.
The windy app with a red icon is far superior in my opinion.
Yeah, I like the map view so much better than the way forecasts are usually given because it gives much better context. You can see the cold and warm fronts and the various storms in the area and watch the forecasts hone in on the truth as time passes and they need to rely less on intermediate forecasts as they get replaced with actual data.

Just installed Breezy, it looks like only AccuWeather has hourly. Wanted to use some open source service but none of them know where Canada is apparently
It's free/libre, open source and has accurate doppler radar and forecasts. It's one of those get what you pay for deals except he doesn't sell your data.
They're not always correct, tho: recently checked it, it said smth like 14C which is supposed to be comfortable (yet it felt quite hot outside), then checked another provider -- 18C (yeah, that's closer).
Get yourself a government funded (well, taxpayer funded) weather forecast page. Quite accurate forecasts for weather, rain, cloudiness (including simulated radar models). Also radar images for cloudiness and rain. And free historic data. Without ads.
I use WTForecast. It's funny. I guess I technically also use the default Android weather app, because my lock screen has rain or snow on it when either is happening outside, it's kinda neat.
I don't even know who you are
MyRadar on Android?
You will.
Is the TES reference intentional? >!(OP's username)!<
I just use a weather rock
I like to throw mine at a famous person to find out if there are any active alerts
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
I like to throw mine at a famous person
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Wait you have a weather app you like? None of mine are remotely accurate
I check them all and choose the nicest forecast

Can't find a forecast as good as wunderground and can't find a radar as good as myradar. They live side by side on my phone
Wunderground has been the most accurate for me. You can also narrow the forecast down to your zip code.
I've been using it for at least 15 years at this point, and my job relies on accurate forecasts.
The weather channel app has some pretty good widgets. No adds on the widgets either
I use the one in the pic, and I have to say it is pretty damn good at predicting rain.
Any app that works with the Spanish weather provider will have the best predictions possible for me, it's sad that most don't let you swap providers.
Breezy Weather for no BS and ad-free weather.

Like a period taking app? Like tracking my menstrual cycles?
Yeah, I've meant a period tracking app, autocorrect 😁
This is a shit meme, dude.
Oh, sorry.

I've stuck with today weather. I never even tried another one after that
Weather underground was so good before IBM bought it, it's a shame
Hah I remember using Weather Underground before I landed with My Radar.
Now I’m never going anywhere else until someone acquires MR and ruins it.
How do you get forecast on my radar, only has radar for me.
Pull down the shade at the top where it has your location and a basic 2-day forecast. Then if you scroll down you can see an hourly as well as a detailed 10-day forecast.
O shit is was a layer on the radar. Tdil
weather.gov works fine, thanks
That looks pretty useless unless you live in whatever country there based in though, which certainly isn't the UK.
I like being alerted to weather events such as warnings and watches. I also like hyper local forecasts.
Your "hyper local forecasts" are likely total BS or they are just taking data from other sources such as weather.gov
No, they tend to be correct.

The only weather app as far as I am concerned. Just give me the facts, and hold the ads and BS
Gross, much prefer Wx, Breezy Weather and sometimes RadarOmega to watch severe weather outbreaks.
Nobody has mentioned windy. It has multiple maps and multiple sources you can look through. Highly recommend
To add to this, very much the red icon windy app, not the blue one.
What is the blue icon?
It's a different app of the same name but it's very much geared toward sporting weather than active weather.
It's probably great if you go sailing a lot or fly a plane, but it's not the best for hourly weather and radar.

I love Breezy Weather!
I use Google since that has hourly. Couldn't get that on breezy
?
I use that because I can't be bothered with a weather app.
Just installed Breezy, it looks like only AccuWeather has hourly. Wanted to use some open source service but none of them know where Canada is apparently
Nah it's ilmatieteenlaitos forever for me
Wx is available for free on fdroid. You're welcome.
Just installed f droid to check this out. I don't like it. Way too bare bones and not really intuitive.
It's free/libre, open source and has accurate doppler radar and forecasts. It's one of those get what you pay for deals except he doesn't sell your data.
What is WX?
Kids these days with their GUIs and fancy apps. Just curl wttr.in as Thompson intended.
They're not always correct, tho: recently checked it, it said smth like 14C which is supposed to be comfortable (yet it felt quite hot outside), then checked another provider -- 18C (yeah, that's closer).
I really like Weawow. I can customize the weather source and display it without ads.
I made a small feature request one time and the dev was responsive and put it in the next update! it was lovely
I use Weawow as well and I like it. I really like the fact that I can use the NWS as my main source of information.

But I guess that sounds too communism
I use Flowx, it's customisability and access to so many excellent weather predictive models please me greatly.
I just use the app provided by our local observatory. It's good enough
What's it called?
MyObservatory. It's made by the Hong Kong Observatory so I don't know how well it's gonna work in other countries.
Clima is nice, you can get it from F-Droid.
I use WTForecast. It's funny. I guess I technically also use the default Android weather app, because my lock screen has rain or snow on it when either is happening outside, it's kinda neat.
Oh meine Kleine Wettervorschau
I switch weather apps a lot. Actually "clima" and "Bura" are really good. Clima has a simple design and Bura looks nice with some fancy graphs.
Doesn't seem like those are available in Android.
They are on f-droid. Maybe izzy repo.
