https://0p.no/2014/12/13/graph_no___weather_forecast_via_finger.html https://0p.no/2014/12/13/graph_no___weather_forecast_via_fin...
And the command:
finger london@graph.no
Which produces this:

So it's 16'c with a light cloud cover until 1pm, clear until 4pm after which it gets a little cloudy again, some rain between 11pm and 7am, which is very light and heaviest around 2am.
That is the equivalent of this:
https://www.yr.no/place/United_Kingdom/England/London/hour_by_hour_detailed.html https://www.yr.no/place/United_Kingdom/England/London/hour_b...
Which has, for me, proven to be the most accurate and informative weather forecast.
And if you just want to use the latest meteogram image:

Also: Weather available via HTTPS! I dislike how the vast majority of apps on mobile devices use location for reporting local weather but do so over HTTP and leak location data. BBC, I'm looking at you.
If you're on Android there's a great widget that makes using any other weather app pretty redundant for most cases:

- Moru 11y agoFor me yr.no is almost always correct at least for the next few hours. It can be off a bit if you go a day ahead but it's updated regularly so just check often to get a picture of how the weather will be. I live in Sweden but have tried it extensively in Germany too with similar results.
