Curious what everyone here uses for their weather app or website of choice ?

    I just keep a shortcut to the NOAA 2day hourly forecast for my location on the home screen. If I need to see the radar it’s a few clicks away.

    But I’ve got an air quality and temperature sensor on my back porch, and am working on a rain detector as well, so the preference is towards local conditions

      I love NOAA’s hourly graphs. It is a quick visual way to understand the expected forecast. I wish I could find a good iPhone app that does something similar. Carrot is pretty good, but has annoying popups asking you to subscribe to premium.

    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.

    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.TXT

    And 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.`

      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.

    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.

      wX

      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.
