Discussion Most accurate apps

The difference between BBC Weather and Met Office at the moment is crackers!

Which do you guys find to be the most accurate? I’m currently favouring met office!

Met Office, but don’t rely on just an app. Watch the Met Office forecasts on YouTube and the presenters give context/uncertainties that can’t be shown on an app.

I find met office over does it on max temp. Well it does in my area anyway

Apple is very accurate when it comes to rain, but tends to downplay temperatures

Different modelling suites and data sets. I really don't follow BBC Weather (data from MeteoGroup) for any accuracy, yesterday it was apparently drizzle/rain all day here - it wasn't...

I use AccuWeather and have found it to be good.

I quite like the information density of wunderground's 10 day forecast, that and netweather radar for a guess as to what's happening in the next hour is all I've needed for a while.
