I would pick TWC for reliable forecasts and a better format than Wunderground.

TWC. Better than BoM for my location, in fact.

TWC, NWS, and the local TV station's 24/7 weather channel. AccuWeather's 90-day extended forecast is a joke. Nobody can predict that far, and their forecasts always end up being super pessimistic anyway.

wunderground unfortunately. It's like an abusive relationship you can't get out of. Wunderground used to rock until a few years ago when they changed the layout of their site and now it's so slow, ugly, and annoying. When I want to look at weather history for somewhere, unless it requires hour-by-hour observations, I just use NWS's excellent NOWData. |

TWC, NWS, and the local TV station's 24/7 weather channel. AccuWeather's 90-day extended forecast is a joke. Nobody can predict that far, and their forecasts always end up being super pessimistic anyway. I look at the 90-day forecast sometimes for fun. Bring it up in April and look for the first hot day. This time of year, see when the first snow or really cold day comes. After a few weeks it seems like the forecast is just the average plus or minus a few degrees. I use TWC and NWS the most. If the weather is good, I'll just use the app that comes with my phone or do a quick search for "_____ weather". I think it's TWC, which is the most accurate site besides the NWS anyway. The weather people on the news, when I watch it, are good too. I'll also look up the 10 day forecast which is really 14-15 days to get a general trend of the weather coming up.
But, if there is a storm coming or something I really want to know lots of detail, NWS is the place. For winter storms they have expected amounts, start times, end times, things you don't get on a default site. For my area the link is www.weather.gov/mkx/winter, if you change the mkx to the local NWS division it should bring up the link for your area.
For radar, I like the look of this site, but it's not local and pulling from a third party. Ayone know what site uses this radar?
Weather Underground used to be amazing, with weather history for thousands of places and extremes for each country. I'd look up which random town in Russia had the coldest low, or find a unique place and look back at previous years of weather. Then they stopped that, and the only thing I use on that site now is sometimes I'll use the 10-day forecast to post my forecast here. It looks better than other sites. For weather history now, Ogimet has data for recent years for nearly everywhere. They also have a search for extremes from the past day, so I can still look up tiny towns in Siberia that reached -50 if I want.

Oh, also, if you want hour-by hour observations for US stations, use Iowa Mesonet. It's like weather underground used to be. However data doesn't go far back. If anyone knows where to find old hourly data, I'm interested. To use it, pick a network. Main climate stations are ASOS but smaller ones are COOP or another network. Pick a network, then click "Switch Network", then pick a site, click "Select Station". To find daily data, click on the Observation History tab. Link: mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/sites/locate.phpLink to an example. mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/sites/obhistory.php?station=AMW&network=IA_ASOS&year=2020&month=10&day=02For daily data, NOWData is king. sercc.com/nowdatamapXmacis is good for trivia searches, like "hottest 7 day period" or finding the coldest place in a state in a given month. xmacis.rcc-acis.org/ |

I feel like this poll was pretty americentric. I'd say none of these are mainstream in most Europe. I use WO, SMHI and YR. As well as Ogimet, Infoclimat and WeatherHQ. I used to use weatherspark quite a lot but I don't really nowadays.
I never ever use any of the poll options.

For Europe, it's usually more accurate to forecast with an RNG than it is to use any of the poll options. |
