Weather apps look alike and differ in one thing above all: where the data comes from. Anyone searching for the best weather apps usually wants one that is more reliable for their own area than the pre-installed option.

So it pays to ask about the model and the source — global models, national weather services, or a mix — because that decides how well local conditions are captured. Practical points as well: rain radar with short-term nowcasting, severe weather warnings from official sources, complications and widgets that tell you something without opening the app, and an honest presentation of uncertainty rather than an hourly figure for the week after next. Then the data question: a weather app needs your rough location, but rarely continuous background access — and more rarely still a reason to pass it to ad networks.
Which app leads here is decided by the community alone. The order comes from upvotes minus downvotes; sponsored entries are labelled and do not count.
