I used the Dark Sky app for years. It was terrific for short term forecasts- what was going to happen in the next hour or two. It was not better than anything else on long term forecasts. It allowed me to fit hour long bike rides between storms- and pull in minutes before it started to rain. Out camping or hiking in areas I could not predict weather myself well, it gave terrific short term forecasts- and warnings of heavy rain in 30 min. Just enough time to find a site and set up a tent.
App was purchased by apple in March, and has gone downhill from there. Short term forecasts are now no better than everything else. It is a significant decline. For example, I have been caught out on a bike ride in the rain 20 miles from the house twice in the last 2weeks. With the old Dark Sky app, I would not get wet once a year.
So the best is dead.
What are you guys using for short term local forecasts?
Thanks. Stay dry
