    Weather Apps

    What weather apps are folks using? I am running Yr and Metvuw and have yet to find them accurate for the places I go. I'm not sure if it's just me, but I find the Metservice site and app to be clunky and not the easiest to use to get forecasts for some of the more remote places. The only thing I generally use Metservice for these days is the rain radar.

    MetService rain forecast (pessimistic but pretty accurate), Windy and Predict Wind are my gotos.
    Don't just rely on one. If you look at a couple at least and average it out you will get best reliability. They use different modeling systems.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.
