Weather App's are so strange! I was told that the weather app that I was using was mostly wrong. Which I found to be sometimes like even most of the weather people on TV. So I added a second weather app to my phone to compare. After about a month when I mostly saw that my original app was correct most of the time. My daughter showed me yesterday that her weather showed it was going to rain and my app didn't say that. Are your weather apps reliable?

I only use my local weather app, and it seems to be accurate. I don’t really pay a lot of attention to it though.

@AmbiePam We don't have a local weather or news app for our specific town.

@dfollin I went through my local news app, and use their weather data. It’s turned out to be more accurate for my local weather than the national weather service. Last year the national weather service was telling us we were going to have a tornado outbreak of epic proportions. Our local weather was saying, no, not at all. Our local weather people were right.

It's not because they're unreliable or inaccurate but it's because these days, the weather is just unpredictable.

@dfollin The weather started to be unpredictable here for over a decade already.

The weather apps I use on my computer are not exactly very accurate since I have to look outside to see cloudy skies when the app says that it supposed to rain.
