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.

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

No, they tend to be correct.

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.

The only weather app as far as I am concerned. Just give me the facts, and hold the ads and BS
