another vote for Dark Sky - it tells you air pressure too which is useful

It was ok when I first used it Gerry, then seemed to get less and less accurate to the point of it was rarely right. I don't tend to bother with them much these days as I just fish when I fancy it rather than in specific conditions. I find the BBC one ok for the current day but not a lot else, but that suits me fine

Ive been using met office and BBC and recently found them to constantly dissagree with each other about wind direction, and both be incorrect

The thing is, rain radar is not forecasting, It's really useful though.

Forecasts are different. The thing is they all vary. If everyone was great at forecasting the weather then they would all say the same thing. Now forecasts vary. The BBC overall weather differs from the BBC local. Apps show different forecasts too which shows that it is really all guesswork.

So, the answer is simple. Don't like the weather forecast? Then look somewhere else until you find one you do like.

Terrible app. It wasn't case of it being a little bit wrong, it was way wrong all of the time.

Jist downloaded it to have a look is there an easier way tolook at wind direction, or do you have to keep scrolling to show hour by hour?

I've tried them all and still find either the BBC one or 'Weather Pro' are the most accurate. Some people swear by 'XC Weather' but for me that one is the worst

Agree, I've been through the lot including the paid ones and now just use BBC. None of them are brilliant but BBC is as good as any I've found.

I used XC weather religiously but recently it has been poor.
I just look out the window nowadays

the BBC app says no rain for the next 3 hours
Met office says 10% chance of light rain
So why is it hammering it down and bouncing a foot off the staging?
Just a little bit of accuracy is all I ask for
Think in future looking out of the window is the best bet lol

Are you sure?
