    I use Windy, it’s meant for boating, but it’s really useful for me at work (stonemason) because rain isn’t great for fresh mortar, wind driven rain is even worse, and if it’s too windy to climb up the scaffolding I’d like a heads up.

    Edit: The free version is somewhat limited, but I haven’t bought a license and still find it really useful.

      I liked Windy’s UX, but the developers were of the type that knew better than everyone and refused to even make an option to default to anything but wind. IIRC if you wanted to see precipitation forecast it was always like 3-4 taps deep. I moved from that to Weawow which is really nice since you can choose from multiple weather sources, including hyper-local sources which is important in Chicago where two different parts of the metro can vary by 30-40° F. But yeah, if wind is important, Windy is the better app.

        I have “Start-up layer and location” in settings.

        Maybe it’s a Premium setting?

        BTW, this is from Windyty SE in the app store, which is the one associated with windy.com, not the one from Windy Weather World Inc.

    I use Breezy Weather for a forecast of the chance to rain on an hourly basis, and wX for a radar. Hope this helps!

    Breezy Weather is part of the IzzyOnDroid FDroid repository, and wX is part of the normal FDroid repository seemingly.

    For Canadians, Environment Canada has a fantastic app called WeatherCan that includes all of the usuals, has doppler radar for all of North America with the option for a one or three hour loop.

    It also includes alerts from Environment Canada for any location you’ve added and links to the marine weather forecast site.

    Flowx is really great. The only app that I pay a subscription for, but if you want basic weather then the free tier will be all you need.

    I personally use Weawow currently, but I used Windy before.

      I second weawow. It’s got everything I want in a weather app: clean UI, customizable homescreen widget, and you can pick which provider it uses for the weather data.

    I use Rainy Days for the radar, and - since I’m in the UK - the Met Office weather app, which has a Next Rain widget.

    I use weather&radar by wetter online GmbH on android, it’s free version is good, but worth the upgrade to remove the adverts and increase the zoom on map. Météobleu is very nice, and has beautiful animation, but It’s not all to my tastes.

    I’ve been enjoying Ventusky for planning for rain gear when cycling. It’s been good so far.

    I use 1Weather, because it’s the Baconreader devs and it also happens to be an awesome weather app!

      I stopped using 1Weather when push notifications became clickbait. “Cold weather sweeping the country, will you be affected?” You already have my zip code, you tell me.

        I don’t have notifications on but that doesn’t sound great. I can see that making sense if I was travelling a lot but not in normal use.
