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
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.
My dream is for the Weawow project to continue for another 200 years, until we reach Type 1 on the Kardashev scale.
Because at the current level of human civilization, it is not possible to make 100% accurate weather forecasts, I believe that it is necessary to compare and consider many data sources.
But in 200 years there will be no more weather FORECASTS services, but 100% accurate weather PLANNING services.
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.
After discovering WeaWow, all other weather apps are inferior.
Have you tried Windy.com? It’s my website of choice for making weather-based plans.
They use Mapy and OSM maps.
Hells yeah, appreciate the tip

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.

There are around 20 customizable widgets and you absolutely can use GPS location weather.
Discovered it from your comment, immediately fell in love and donated. Thank you! :)
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.
