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

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).

I like Carrot, but primarily because I like the cheeky quips. That said, it is extremely full-featured and if you pay for a premium version you get a ton of additional features. If you turn off the cheeky quips it really feels like what Dark Sky would've become had Apple not killed it.

I’m loving it for that!

Breezy Weather

Open source, light and elegant design. Perfect amount of customization.

Unfortunately it’s not available on iOS, I’d love to have tried it though! It looks fantastic

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).

I use the default app or the Environment Canada app, which is specific to Canada.

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.

I've been enjoying Ventusky, see if that works for you.

I’ll give it a shot, thanks!
