Try your local weather app. Here in Switzerland the MeteoSwiss app is absolutely wonderful, and has all these main features: - Uncertainty bands in the forecast (the bands are a better UX than more lines imo) - User-supplied reports - Many many many different maps (snow / cloud / wind / sunshine / air quality / etc) - Alerts (not notifications, but real alerts to watch out for something) Plus many more other features. I found Yr in Norway also good (and on the web you also get uncertainty in the 21 day forecast https://www.yr.no/en/21-day-forecast/1-305409/Norway/Troms/Troms%C3%B8/Troms%C3%B8 https://www.yr.no/en/21-day-forecast/1-305409/Norway/Troms/T...). Local weather services shouldn't be overlooked (and they're "free"... save for taxes!).

WarnWetter for Germany. Costs a symbolic 1 Euro for dumb reasons, but I think it's easily worth it.

yr.no tends to be most accurate for Scandi+Baltics somehow pretty often. Ventusky has the best app experience in Android with many different layers like wind, precipitation, air quality and many more. Can only recommend this as well.

Yes! They are much better. Yr has a great API as well.

In Switzerland all weather data is now also open and accessible via API. You can also use it for commercial purposes. https://www.meteoswiss.admin.ch/services-and-publications/service/open-data.html https://www.meteoswiss.admin.ch/services-and-publications/se...

I actually use (and pay a subscription for) Windy, which is local (EU) and has data from a multitude of providers (some of which aren't free). My comment was a critique of a launching approach that I find annoying, because I would never dare to launch an app ignoring most of the world.

  Is that the blue windy or the red windy? I can never keep them straight!
