Breezy Weather, avaiable at Fdroid. Have been quite happy with it.
Mainly breezy weather.
I also installed the KNMI (royal Dutch meteorological institute) weather app recently, because some other popular Dutch weather services tried to sue them for making their free app too good.
Only allowable time to say you use windows.
I use BOM, Australian government weather service.
WeatherCAN which is made and run by Environment Canada (government run). Many weather services and apps get their data from them anyway so might as well get it right from the source.
I just keep a shortcut to the NOAA 2day hourly forecast for my location on the home screen. If I need to see the radar it's a few clicks away.
But I've got an air quality and temperature sensor on my back porch, and am working on a rain detector as well, so the preference is towards local conditions
Breezy. Because AsteroidOS and Gadgetbridge.
Wrote my own digest of NOAA text products. It's a URL: Gnashtooth's Weather. Needs US Zip Code. Then bookmark the details page to return. Also, there is a current-conditions page:
LAFAYETTE PURDUE UNIV AIRPORT (KLAF)

And there is a one-liner. You can include the one-liner in your eMail sig if your mail user agent (MUA) allows a shell script. Just download and print:
24° — Wind NNE at 3 mph. Sky mostly clear.`
My dudes and dudettes , I’m blown away by the response. I’m going to be busy trying them all out. Thank you for the responses and I hope others found some good insight!
I use Cirrus becau I love its ingenious widget: it shows the next 12 hours of weather (not temperature) in a tiny space that's super easy to read.
Weawow. It's maintained by a lovely Japanese man who doesn't sell any of the data or user info. It is one of the best visualized weather applications I have ever seen and lets you pick from a bunch of different models.
Yr.no
Bura. But I am currently working on my own weather service and might use it more than Bura once it's done.
No JavaScript, no bullshit, focus on clean design and user experience and full focus on privacy. I publish updates on Mastodon under the hashtag serenum.
For Germans: Deutscher Wetterdienst. Its free. But of you pay one time, you'll get a bigger functionality.
Also Kachelmannwetter for Website
Aesthetically, one of my favorites is Zoom Earth. Visually its really impressive. Not the best for granular detail on a local area’s weather but still very cool
I use "Windy" in the US. They have over 50 different map overlays.
I maintain that close to you geographically is better, so I use the services provided by my country's metereological institute. They also provide human friendly data (much more than the web ui) as json or xml, and I scripted a little app around that. It's not hard.
I use yr.no. Made by Norwegian Meteorological Institute. I particularly like their detailed 10 day forcast.

It's good enough to tell me what I can see out of the window, and what I'll probably see out of the window for the next few days
KNMI and Yr apps for me. Knmi is dutch and Yr norwegian i believe.
On Mobile the widget from AEMET, the Spanish Meteorology Agency, on Desktop the inbuild weather widget in Vivaldi (home/new tab page)
open-meteo.com docs. I just use https://open-meteo.com/en/docsas it is.
I use Weawow on mobile and desktop since the UK Met Office created their "new design" for their website.
I use https://f-droid.org/packages/co.prestosole.clima
Very simple and stupid name, but does its job pretty well.
