MyRadar on Android?
You will.
Wait you have a weather app you like? None of mine are remotely accurate
I check them all and choose the nicest forecast
Wunderground has been the most accurate for me. You can also narrow the forecast down to your zip code.
I've been using it for at least 15 years at this point, and my job relies on accurate forecasts.
I use the one in the pic, and I have to say it is pretty damn good at predicting rain.
The weather channel app has some pretty good widgets. No adds on the widgets either
Nothing really compares to what Dark Sky was, but MyRadar is as close as I could find and I've tried all the major and some not so major apps on the Google Play store.
This is a shit meme, dude.
Oh, sorry.
Weather apps, huh? Ever heard of looking out the window?
I just use a weather rock
I like to throw mine at a famous person to find out if there are any active alerts
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Breezy Weather for no BS and ad-free weather.
Breezy Weather all the way, also like Flowx app for it's easy to read and condensed whole week chart also available at a widget, name and icon looks like period taking app but believe me it's a weather app, shame it's not open source
Yeah MyRadar is the only app that seems to give me a reasonably accurate forecast in Ohio. I block ads and mostly look at the actual radar though.
Wunderground went to crap and I've really tried to like Shadow Weather but it's wrong too often. Meteo Weather Widget is decent but not as useful to me as radar.
I've tried the majority of the weather apps on the android app store, and they're all just mediocre compared to MyRadar.
Then again, MyRadar is mediocre compared to what Dark Sky was. What an unfortunate situation with that app being bought by Apple and turned into WeatherKit or whatever. That was the best weather app, hands down.
I've stuck with today weather. I never even tried another one after that
Weather underground was so good before IBM bought it, it's a shame
Hah I remember using Weather Underground before I landed with My Radar.
Now I’m never going anywhere else until someone acquires MR and ruins it.
weather.gov works fine, thanks
That looks pretty useless unless you live in whatever country there based in though, which certainly isn't the UK.
The only weather app as far as I am concerned. Just give me the facts, and hold the ads and BS
I like being alerted to weather events such as warnings and watches. I also like hyper local forecasts.
Your "hyper local forecasts" are likely total BS or they are just taking data from other sources such as weather.gov
If you're in the US (as Obinice pointed out), type your zipcode in the box in the top left and you've got your hyper local forecast and any relevant warnings and watches. I don't care for or want extra notifications, so that's a bit of a blindspot for me.
Also, if you're using firefox on android you can hit the 3 dots and "install" the zipcode specific forecast, which just gives you a shortcut to that page on your homescreen.
Gross, much prefer Wx, Breezy Weather and sometimes RadarOmega to watch severe weather outbreaks.
Nobody has mentioned windy. It has multiple maps and multiple sources you can look through. Highly recommend
To add to this, very much the red icon windy app, not the blue one.
What is the blue icon?
It's a different app of the same name but it's very much geared toward sporting weather than active weather.
It's probably great if you go sailing a lot or fly a plane, but it's not the best for hourly weather and radar.
They have the same name but it's too very different experiences.
The windy app with a red icon is far superior in my opinion.
Wx is available for free on fdroid. You're welcome.
Just installed f droid to check this out. I don't like it. Way too bare bones and not really intuitive.
It's free/libre, open source and has accurate doppler radar and forecasts. It's one of those get what you pay for deals except he doesn't sell your data.
What is WX?

I love Breezy Weather!
I really like Weawow. I can customize the weather source and display it without ads.
I use Flowx, it's customisability and access to so many excellent weather predictive models please me greatly.
I just use the app provided by our local observatory. It's good enough
What's it called?
MyObservatory. It's made by the Hong Kong Observatory so I don't know how well it's gonna work in other countries.
I use WTForecast. It's funny. I guess I technically also use the default Android weather app, because my lock screen has rain or snow on it when either is happening outside, it's kinda neat.
I switch weather apps a lot. Actually "clima" and "Bura" are really good. Clima has a simple design and Bura looks nice with some fancy graphs.
Doesn't seem like those are available in Android.
They are on f-droid. Maybe izzy repo.
