I’ve been using the default Apple Weather app since getting my iPhone earlier this year. It’s been fine but over the last few days it seems to be less accurate in general.
I’m in Ireland if that matters.
Edit: Updated the title to include iOS specifically
I use the default app or the Environment Canada app, which is specific to Canada.
Unfortunately it’s not available on iOS, I’d love to have tried it though! It looks fantastic
I’m personally a fan of Carrot Weather. You can pay for some extra features but in general I like the snarky shit.
I've been enjoying Ventusky, see if that works for you.
I’ll give it a shot, thanks!
OP I noticed and sent a message to a friend about this the other day. Weather on the iOS Weather app said it would be sunny but it was 100% overcast all day. I thought something is or was off with the app too.
Thanks!

Carrot has ads? I’ve used it since it came out and the only ads I’m aware of are the fake funny ones you can opt in to
Yes and premium isn’t buying the app, it is subscribing at $40/yr. They do have a standard level of $20/yr.
To hell with all these subscriptions.
I am with you on subscriptions but the free version of Carrot is fully functional with no ads, limitations include things like only one weather data source instead of multiple to choose from, a few seconds of radar rather than a longer animation. All of the things you have to pay for are things that actually cost the developer money. Without paying anything it’s still one of the best Weather apps in my opinion.

I look at the sky through my window. I never understood the need for weather apps.
As it turns out, you can't see the weather outside several hours into the future, nor can you see the weather in places where you happen to not be at that particular moment.
Knowing these can be quite useful, to be able to dress appropriately, for example.
I do the same when I’m at my desk working. Sometimes I need to check the forecast, which is when a weather app is useful (e.g planning what clothing I’ll need for a cycle that will be multiple hours).

Give Weawow a go. There’s a website (https://weawow.com/) or a free (and ad-free) app. It’s gorgeous and pretty accurate (I’m in the UK).
