中国天气:https://www.weather.com.cn/wzfw/smart/ 彩云天气: https://caiyunapp.com/api/weather These platforms in mainland China have high accuracy in weather forecasts; I hope they can be added.
Thanks for these suggestions. I will consider at least one. I hope they are affordable!
AccuWeather is great for Ireland but Met Office is also good.
Are you not using Met Office right now?
No, I was using Foreca but I'm still testing different providers to see which is best for me in Ireland. But Met Office was my secondary source.
Right, on that point, are you using and finding the Forecast Alignment feature helpful?
I like the idea as this is what I and probably 1000s others are doing before choosing a new main weather app - run multiple apps and compare the forecast. I find it a bit limiting that I cannot select 2 or more sources and combine them. I'm actually using a separate free app called VeriSky to do this comparison with AI based on my individual selection of sources. Also, it compares forecasts with how the weather "actually" was the previous day. That's how I came to Met Office as a fairly reliable source.
Thanks for that. That's interesting. Noted. Just to be clear, it compares what it predicted yesterday vs how it actually was?
Consider https://open-meteo.com/ next as it provides access to several national weather providers from around the world.
The Bureau of Meteorology for Australia: https://www.bom.gov.au/ I’m Australia-based and I’ve tried quite a few providers, but I don’t find any as accurate as the BOM.
MET Norway is in 2.0.21, also available for Lightning Pro subs. Next: more North American sources, and other non-European based sources.
Met Office is on its way in 2.0.20 for Lightning Pro subs. The first of many! To be clear, each provider’s associated pricing/usage restrictions determines which subscription tier is a minimum requirement.
I've heard good things about The Weather Channel in terms of general accuracy, and sources that draw from NWS in general seem to be well regarded. If Google Weather would match Appy's forecast to the weather on my Android lock screen, that also feels like a potential plus!
Here are some that are currently being considered: * AccuWeather (https://developer.accuweather.com/home) * Google Weather (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/weather) * Met Office (https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/services/data/met-office-weathe…) * Open-Meteo (https://open-meteo.com/en/docs) * Weather Channel (https://developer.weather.com/) * WeatherNext2 (https://deepmind.google/science/weathernext/) * Yr (https://hjelp.yr.no/hc/en-us/categories/200450271-Yr-the-API…)
+1 for Yr! ❤️
Good to know. Out of curiosity, where are you based? Trying to gauge what countries/regions it excels.
I live in Denmark and most Danes, myself included, considder it the best weather provider in Scandinavia.
Okay, excellent. Have you relied on it when outside of Scandinavia? If yes, do you remember whether it was still mostly accurate then?
I believe it is generally pretty precise in most of Europe - at least in my experience. I've used it both in Sweden, Poland and the UK.
+1 for The Weather Company's data (that powers The Weather Channel). They are pretty consistently the most accurate in the US.

Due to the complexity of the Iberian Peninsula's climate, there are no agencies capable of predicting the weather with the accuracy of the Spanish Meteorological Agency (AEMET), operated by the Spanish government and with an open data system: https://www.aemet.es/en/datos_abiertos Would it be possible to add AEMET as a data source to Appy Weather for a more accurate forecast in a country like Spain with millions of tourists?
