The forecast for the week shows highs and lows for each day, but when you click on the days it rarely matches those numbers. What’s that about? Which one should i believe?

    I just tried about 10 different apps and very few of them show highs and lows on the weekly forecast that match the highs and lows shown when you click on each day.

      Can you elaborate? How far off? Are you comparing a daily high to an hourly forecast?

      Assuming you are in the US and on Android check out NOAA Weather Unofficial

      AD supported free version, pro I think is only $2 so it isn’t unreasonable.

      Daily forecast page appears to match the daily detailed descriptions but the really powerful part is the hourly chart.

      Bit cluttered you aren’t used to it, but you do get to pick which metrics you want to see. Feels like the old weatherspark days before flash got killed off.

      The radar section isn’t anything special so I use a separate app for that (MyRadar). I also have weather alerts running through MyRadar so I can’t say much about alert functionality in this app.
