Breezy Weather, avaiable at Fdroid. Have been quite happy with it.
Mainly breezy weather.
I also installed the KNMI (royal Dutch meteorological institute) weather app recently, because some other popular Dutch weather services tried to sue them for making their free app too good.
Only allowable time to say you use windows.
I use BOM, Australian government weather service.
It's funny that we complain about it, but it's completely free, unrestricted, and beats everything else hands-down.
I don't even complain about them, it's mostly accurate and I'm rural so temps are gonna be out anyway.
Some app wanted me to pay for weather and it's like.. bro that shits free?
WeatherCAN which is made and run by Environment Canada (government run). Many weather services and apps get their data from them anyway so might as well get it right from the source.
I just keep a shortcut to the NOAA 2day hourly forecast for my location on the home screen. If I need to see the radar it's a few clicks away.
But I've got an air quality and temperature sensor on my back porch, and am working on a rain detector as well, so the preference is towards local conditions
Wrote my own digest of NOAA text products. It's a URL: Gnashtooth's Weather. Needs US Zip Code. Then bookmark the details page to return. Also, there is a current-conditions page:
LAFAYETTE PURDUE UNIV AIRPORT (KLAF)
Temperature: 24.1°F
Dewpoint: 12.0°F
Wind: NNE at 3 mph
Visibility: Unlimited

And there is a one-liner. You can include the one-liner in your eMail sig if your mail user agent (MUA) allows a shell script. Just download and print:
24° — Wind NNE at 3 mph. Sky mostly clear.`
I use Cirrus becau I love its ingenious widget: it shows the next 12 hours of weather (not temperature) in a tiny space that's super easy to read.

My dudes and dudettes , I’m blown away by the response. I’m going to be busy trying them all out. Thank you for the responses and I hope others found some good insight!
Aesthetically, one of my favorites is Zoom Earth. Visually its really impressive. Not the best for granular detail on a local area’s weather but still very cool
I maintain that close to you geographically is better, so I use the services provided by my country's metereological institute. They also provide human friendly data (much more than the web ui) as json or xml, and I scripted a little app around that. It's not hard.

It's good enough to tell me what I can see out of the window, and what I'll probably see out of the window for the next few days
Bura. But I am currently working on my own weather service and might use it more than Bura once it's done.
No JavaScript, no bullshit, focus on clean design and user experience and full focus on privacy. I publish updates on Mastodon under the hashtag serenum.
Weawow. It's maintained by a lovely Japanese man who doesn't sell any of the data or user info. It is one of the best visualized weather applications I have ever seen and lets you pick from a bunch of different models.
I was going to try this, but...

Instant deal killer right there. I guess I'm staying on Breeze weather.
KNMI and Yr apps for me. Knmi is dutch and Yr norwegian i believe.
Yr is Norwegian, but afaics they're pretty good with nearby countries, too. It's a product of their metreological institute, which seems like a good option privacy-wise. Not that such institutes have to be ad or data ming free, but they usually are.
For Germans: Deutscher Wetterdienst. Its free. But of you pay one time, you'll get a bigger functionality.
Also Kachelmannwetter for Website
I use yr.no. Made by Norwegian Meteorological Institute. I particularly like their detailed 10 day forcast.
On Mobile the widget from AEMET, the Spanish Meteorology Agency, on Desktop the inbuild weather widget in Vivaldi (home/new tab page)

Android:
OSS Weather from Meteo france https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.akylas.weather
OpenWeather https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.openweather
Overmorrow https://github.com/bmaroti9/Overmorrow
Linux:
I use Weawow on mobile and desktop since the UK Met Office created their "new design" for their website.
That's what I use. You can pick which weather service you use, too. I'm in Canada, but find that Norway meteorology service is good. When the wife and I are comparing forecasts she'll ask, "What do the Norwegians say".
Or later, "Your Norwegians never predicted this!".
I bookmark the Environment Canada page for my area. Weather warnings has been added to my RSS reader.
Website https://www.meteo.be/ and their app be.irm.kmi.meteo but that's just Belgium.
