Hope to expand on this later. A community for discussing the weather (very UK), amateur meteorology, and moaning it's too hot/cold/wet/dry/mild.

Android weather app needed /for offline use/. Or does it already exist? (sopuli.xyz)

There is only one FOSS weather app that claims to function offline, and it is broken. The f-droid.org repo shows many weather apps but none state that they work offline. It would be very useful to be able to quickly fetch the weather forecast when connecting to a hotspot, and then to later be able to view the latest forecast that was fetched. Because not everyone has a data plan or has continuous connectivity.

Anyone know of an Android weather app that can do that?

Update

I need it to collect the forecast for the next several days, ideally a week ahead.

While I use a couple weather apps, I also use Widgetify to grab the NOAA website for my region. This keeps a widget on the home screen with multiple days on it.
