After discovering WeaWow, all other weather apps are inferior.
Never hit the download button so fast in my life
For those wondering, yes; there is an iOS app.
Hells yeah, appreciate the tip
Have you tried Windy.com? It's my website of choice for making weather-based plans.
They use Mapy and OSM maps.
I've always used ventusky.com for a weather map like that, but I can't speak to its accuracy. It's just fun to look at.
I might have to try it again. A while back I did try a windy app, but it wasn't great. Might have been an older version on last phone with older OS or a fake windy.
Is this satire? I can't tell anymore...
If so, hilarious.
If not, my friend chaos theory would like a chat.
If you want a similar open source option for Android (without the globe map), Breezy weather is great. It's on fdroid and you can also get it through obtainium. You can choose the weather source.
It doesn't have WeaWow's extensive widget options, nor does it seem to be able to just follow you around wherever you are and get the current conditions for that spot - you have to add locations to a list. My job has me going all over the place, so that's not in the least convenient.
There are around 20 customizable widgets and you absolutely can use GPS location weather.
SpotWX is what I use for accurate weather and the ability to quickly check several different models. Learned about it in my avalanche course and it's been great albeit with a subpar UI
By models are you referring to the weather source? WeaWow let's you pick from multiple sources, though I don't know if it's comparable.
Nice! This looks so cool, I love their visualisations so far. This might even rival my love for windy com
Check out the settings. You can pick exactly what you want for each section. Love the options.
Discovered it from your comment, immediately fell in love and donated. Thank you! :)
The one thing that drives me nuts about it is the location name. It just looks wrong to me to show only the city name without the state abbreviation - especially after a full street address.
