It was so much better before The Weather Channel bought it.

accuweather is not too bad on website using desktop but don't bother with the app, it's horrible, ads etc

Y!天気 Not because it's particularly interesting, but it's more accurate than others that I've tried.

Multiple people have recommended https://yr.no to me recently. It's Norwegian but effective everywhere.

Weatherspark is great for weather trends and comparing locations. Doesn't do daily forecasts anymore though.

the OSS Weather app on Android has been pretty good for me this last year. Seems it's using open-meteo as default provider.

I always recommend using your country's state weather agency website. It will probably be the most accurate, and you can often get real time readings from the agency's sensors around the country.

In my case, because I live in Spain, I use AEMET.

Came here to suggest this. As a norwegian I have been using it since forever, but I wasn't aware of how good it is for outside of Norway too until a friend of mine, who then worked with them mentioned that they had a surprisingly large user base from an African village.

I travel a lot for a living, so I often use it for places I am headed to on the other side of the world.

It's run by the norwegian metrological institute, so their model is based on the same data you'd have with paid services.

I was coming here to recommend the exact same thing. I use the Android app specifically. Even here in South Africa, it beats AccuWeather and all the others, which I'm pretty sure just go with the closest city instead of my actual location.

Yr seems to go the distance in actually finding the closest weather station to you, which you can view on a map as well. And the most accurate hourly breakdown I've come across. Nothing else compares anymore.
