I use Breezy too, works great. Complemented by my government-funded national weather app, and lastly by Google Weather. Three apps, because weather is tricky…
Weather is indeed tricky but of they all are just presenting the same data in different ways, it seems redundant to me. Just have one and recognise that weather is variable.
I do have a rain radar app to notify of incoming rain events though based off the radar.
What’s tricky about weather is not displaying the current weather. That would be the same data. But also maybe not, if one service has access to more local measurements.
What’s tricky is the forecast, where thing can vary with more or less difference, yet still none of them could be correct in the end.
I use several apps in order to have some kind of average forecast. 👍
Yes, I get that, but pretty much every weather app I’ve used is not forecasting weather. They scrape data from a weather forecasting source. If you have 3 apps from 3 different sources. You’ll get different results, but if you’ve got the same sources, they are just presenting the same data in different ways. Some apps allow you to choose which source you choose, so you could just cycle between the different sources instead.
You’re making an average from the data, but assuming each has equal weight. So, using an unscientific method to try and be more accurate than professional meteorologists. It’s costing you more time to be less accurate and using more data and processing power. It’s negligible though.
You might be better off finding one app that gives you more detailed forecasts. Where one app might say sunny with no rain as that’s 90% certainty, another might tell you sunny (90%), rain (5%). It would come from the same data, just presented differently.
I’ve changed to breezy weather. It’s great. Edit ice to I’ve.
In the current political environment, you might want to fix that typo 😉
