There is only one FOSS weather app that claims to function offline, and it is broken. The f-droid.org repo shows many weather apps but none state that they work offline. It would be very useful to be able to quickly fetch the weather forecast when connecting to a hotspot, and then to later be able to view the latest forecast that was fetched. Because not everyone has a data plan or has continuous connectivity.

Anyone know of an Android weather app that can do that?

Update

I need it to collect the forecast for the next several days, ideally a week ahead.

It turns out I was in fact getting 10 days ahead with the default weather source. I just did not realise it because I didn’t know the daily forecast scrolls further to the right.

Anyway, I’m sorted.. thanks!
