To want an accurate weather app?

Can anyone recommend an app that is generally accurate with the weather? I've tried BBC and Met office but both pretty rubbish. BBC is currently telling me it's going to be 27C where I am next Tuesday, Met office is saying 21C. One of them is seriously wrong.....

I have 6 of them as I like to compare them! I like WeatherPro and UK weather maps.

I think you’ve just encountered the difficulty with medium range forecasts in this particular island nation.

Move to the Midwest of the USA and enjoy your accurate forecasts.

What is not predictable cannot be accurately predicted

My iphone weather app seems to be most accurate. I am abroad at moment. It's the only one of 5 weather apps which is getting it right

I find the BBC one quite good. It often rains at exactly the time it says it will rain.

I find the "Yr" weather app from the Norwegian Meteorological Office to be very reliable. The forecasts come from a different source than the usual ones so it's good to get a different opinion!

Weather Underground is quite good. I only ever use weather forecasts as a suggestion though.

BBC weather told me it would be dry all day.

It wasn't. It pissed down at lunch time when I had to walk into town.

I mean I'd washed my hair and was wearing ballet pumps. No umbrella.

BBC weather... F**K you 🤬🤬

BBC app has been rubbish recently. I had a tent to waterproof, needed to wait for 6 hours clear without raining. All of yesterday it kept saying it was about to rain and it didn't until the evening - I could have done it. It's been telling me all week it'll be dry and sunny all day today so I waited until today. This morning it said dry and sunny, no more than 3% chance of rain in any hour. I painted the tent. 4 hours later it's absolutely pissing it down.
Grrrrr!

They call it forecasting, I call it guessing.
