Curious what everyone here uses for their weather app or website of choice ?
I use BOM, Australian government weather service.
It’s funny that we complain about it, but it’s completely free, unrestricted, and beats everything else hands-down.
I don’t even complain about them, it’s mostly accurate and I’m rural so temps are gonna be out anyway.
Some app wanted me to pay for weather and it’s like… bro that shits free?
Just like hospital care, amirite? 😆
Weawow. It’s maintained by a lovely Japanese man who doesn’t sell any of the data or user info. It is one of the best visualized weather applications I have ever seen and lets you pick from a bunch of different models.
It blows Breezy away.
Wrote my own digest of NOAA text products. It’s a URL: Gnashtooth’s Weather. Needs US Zip Code. Then bookmark the details page to return. Also, there is a current-conditions page:
LAFAYETTE PURDUE UNIV AIRPORT (KLAF) Temperature: 24.1°F Dewpoint: 12.0°F Wind: NNE at 3 mph Visibility: Unlimited Sky: Mostly clear Barometer: 30.44 inHg Recorded: Sat 07 Feb 2026 11:54 AM Etc/GMT+5 (Sat 07 Feb 2026 16:54 PM Etc/UTC) en: https://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/decoded/KLAF.TXTAnd there is a one-liner. You can include the one-liner in your eMail sig if your mail user agent (MUA) allows a shell script. Just download and print:
24° — Wind NNE at 3 mph. Sky mostly clear.`WeatherCAN which is made and run by Environment Canada (government run). Many weather services and apps get their data from them anyway so might as well get it right from the source.
Breezy. Because AsteroidOS and Gadgetbridge.
My dudes and dudettes , I’m blown away by the response. I’m going to be busy trying them all out. Thank you for the responses and I hope others found some good insight!
Yeah I have ADHD overload trying to process all the suggestions. Very cool lemmy
The best weather forecast is always the one from the official weather agency of your country
Bura. But I am currently working on my own weather service and might use it more than Bura once it’s done.
No JavaScript, no bullshit, focus on clean design and user experience and full focus on privacy. I publish updates on Mastodon under the hashtag serenum.
Aesthetically, one of my favorites is Zoom Earth. Visually its really impressive. Not the best for granular detail on a local area’s weather but still very cool
I coded a OpenMateo weather call into my python router, so I can type >>weather (city, country) and get live updates.
Failing that, you can search or API this https://openweathermap.org/
Or if you wanna go ultra-minimalist (and super cool)
https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in
https://wttr.in/
^^ if you just type that, it will give you the weather matching your current IP address. Else use /citynameeg: wttr.in/London
KNMI and Yr apps for me. Knmi is dutch and Yr norwegian i believe.
Website https://www.meteo.be/ and their app be.irm.kmi.meteo but that’s just Belgium.
Android:
OSS Weather from Meteo france https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.akylas.weather
OpenWeather https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.openweather
Overmorrow https://github.com/bmaroti9/Overmorrow
Linux:
On Mobile the widget from AEMET, the Spanish Meteorology Agency, on Desktop the inbuild weather widget in Vivaldi (home/new tab page)
Uses the US National Weather Service for data. The UI is basic but it has all the maps. Probably overkill and too complex for normal people but good for weather watchers, amateur meteorologists and pilots.
