- ghosty141 4y agoI wonder too, they get the rain forecasts wrong all the time. They are at least off by 1-2 hours or somtimed forecast rain when there is none. Compare that to other apps like WeatherPro which are way closer
- suction 4y agoThat's also what I'm using (WeatherPro). But sadly it's on the decline and seems to have been abandoned since the data supplier was acquired by another company. I only heard rumours though.
- dan1234 4y agoNot sure for Central Europe, but for the UK, their app has logos for the Weather Channel, along with BreezoMeter for air quality info. Doesn't feel as accurate as the Met Office's app, but not too bad (tends to over predict chance of rain).
- ezfe 4y agoAre you in iOS 16 or iOS 15 - in iOS 15 the Weather Channel logo shows in all countries.
- dan1234 4y agoiOS 15 - interesting, assumed they’d only be attributing data they were actually using! Apple’s forecast does vary slightly from the ones the BBC (using MeteoGroup) and the Met Office give, so I’m not sure what their source is if it’s not the weather channel.
- ezfe 4y agoThey use Dark Sky for some data points, even on iOS 15. But I believe the 10 day forecast is from the Weather Channel (which, to clarify, means weather.com)
