After discovering WeaWow, all other weather apps are inferior.

If you want a similar open source option for Android (without the globe map), Breezy weather is great. It's on fdroid and you can also get it through obtainium. You can choose the weather source.

It doesn't have WeaWow's extensive widget options, nor does it seem to be able to just follow you around wherever you are and get the current conditions for that spot - you have to add locations to a list. My job has me going all over the place, so that's not in the least convenient.

There are around 20 customizable widgets and you absolutely can use GPS location weather.

Discovered it from your comment, immediately fell in love and donated. Thank you! :)

The one thing that drives me nuts about it is the location name. It just looks wrong to me to show only the city name without the state abbreviation - especially after a full street address.

My dream is for the Weawow project to continue for another 200 years, until we reach Type 1 on the Kardashev scale.
Because at the current level of human civilization, it is not possible to make 100% accurate weather forecasts, I believe that it is necessary to compare and consider many data sources.
But in 200 years there will be no more weather FORECASTS services, but 100% accurate weather PLANNING services.

Nice! This looks so cool, I love their visualisations so far. This might even rival my love for windy com
