I have always had good luck using weather.gov. not the most mobile friendly website but it works and the are upfront about their data. In my town, that is helpful since, as @thesohoriots@lemmy.world mentioned, we can't always trust closer "weather stations" if they even exist.
I don't think they have an app, but it's just a couple clicks away in a browser ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Every other weather provider uses their data, though they may reprocess it. AccuWeather doesn't have their own set of geo satellites.
Breezy has weather.gov as a provider but unfortunately in my area it's also been very inaccurate. Gutting funding for NWS/NOAA (especially in regard to weather balloon launches) has had a devastating effect for my area's forecasting.
That's unfortunate ๐ซค The closest weather station to me is an hour away, so even getting a temperature can be problematic in my area. I would not have noticed a change over the last 14 months. Their modeling is still pretty good! Based, however, off historical data that, I assume, is already at least partially irrelevant.
