Hello! I’m looking for a foss weather app for android, so I went ahead to f-droid and tried a bunch of them, but didn’t find any that fully satisfies me: I want to be able to see the hourly forecast of any day of the week, not just the “global” forecast, and I want the weather service used not to require a credit card (openweathermap.org for example requires the credit card to get an API key). Geometric Weather is the one that I’m currently using, with open-meteo as provider, but sadly it displays hourly forecasts only for the current day, but not for other days.

Do you have any suggestion? Thanks in advance!

Not FOSS, but free and ad-free, from a small Japanese developer: Weawow. The only thing that requires you to make a small donation is to unlock a couple of weather providers, but you have a big selection without it.

I think it really depends on your location. I use AccuWeather, but I’m not yet convinced of its accuracy.

Not FOSS, but did you know you can get your weather forecasts straight from the source? Weather.gov gives not only a standard 7 day forecast but also provides all sorts of weather data and lots of the charts on the site is designed to be customized then bookmarked even if your browser has cookies disabled!

This is the right choice. Everything else is pretty much just a different frontend for the same data.

wX gets its data from weather.gov and is open source. It has a lot of forecast products and can even notify you of watches and warnings.

wX is actually terrifying in its depth.

I‘ve been using Forcastie for quite some time now.

Prognoza (GitHub) is also a nice one.

I’m using Flux, but it hasn’t been updated for over a year. And I don’t think it’s open source
