I keep seeing people talking about how X Weather App is better than Y Weather App; I've been using a simple bookmark to my local forecast.weather.gov page for years and it has given me an accurate forecast in plain HTML every time. Plus there's radar and satellite imagery. It's great!
- louky 4y agoSame, and it's got hourly, pretty much anything I can imagine needing.
- zeroping 4y agoI wish the National Weather Service could develop an app.
- daveslash 4y agoI know that this is a little off topic, but speaking of X Weather app.... The habit that I am still trying to break with my kid is that they should not rely on the weather app for temperatures when we go camping. The weather app is an app that reports data from a weather station, it is not a thermometer. If you're camping in a valley or a mountain that's 20 miles away from the nearest weather station, the temperature that your app says is almost certainly wrong. So hard to break that habit of relying on the phone when it's not correct with some of the younger folks.
- r00fus 4y agoI find official websites don't have enough accurate pinpoint measurements for things like temperature, humidity or AQI. For those, I prefer wunderground.org or purpleair.com (both of which rely on both government as well as crowd-sourced data from valid sensors).
