WeatherOnline, wetterstationen.meteomedia.de (and the local newspaper) for forecasts. kachelmannwetter.de for looking up actual measurements and daily records. DWD for monthly averages.
blitzortung.org for thunderstorms.

TWC, mainly for the interactive radar map. NWS radar looks like something from the 90s.

Environment Canada is by far my most used weather service for local weather. I also occasionally check The Weather Network for their 14-day forecasts. Don't really use any other weather services that much.

Weatherzone
I thought the Aussie users in here would mention that?

Weatherzone I thought the Aussie users in here would mention that? It usually overshoots maxima by 2°–3° C with uplift events here (they fail to understand the Wet Adiabatic Lapse Rate, unfortunately). |

I use weather.gov more and more. For a long-range idea I still use weather.com and I like using ventusky or ogimet sometimes to see if somewhere in the world has something interesting happening. Weather.gov's snowfall probability maps are awesome in winter time. I haven't seen another site with that sort of map. The only thing that compares is the local news forecasts. www.weather.gov/mkx/winter. They really should advertise this more instead of having it hard to find. You can put any NWS code (the three letter code like mkx) in the place of mkx and it will load. This isn't true for every single one, but the only exception I've found is Miami. This isn't why I posted though. Today I noticed that weather.com has an ad-free premium site for US users. No ads and a longer length for the hourly and 15-minute forecast. That's it and it costs $5 USD per month for the desktop site and you have to pay separately if you also have the phone app.
Edit: I also use Environment Canada because it's really well designed IMO. The way you can go between forecasts and history and national high/low is very convenient. Edit2: Also I'm a polar foamer and I like knowing it's -20 in Alert right now.

NWS for short-range forecasts (most accurate for my area). Sometimes I look at TWC's 10 day for a general idea of the long-term trend.
Kind of off topic, but I need to rant about WU. I have my PWS set to upload data to WU, but the last few days it's been really poor quality. Hours and hours of data outages, and it's not just me since I looked at every station in the area and they're all like that. Sometimes the data will appear hours later, but sometimes not.
Since WU is so shitty, I've decided to upload to another site called PWSWeather. It doesn't update in real-time as fast as WU does, but it's never had any missing data so far and the data is archived in 1 minute intervals (5x more frequent than WU). So that's already far superior. I was also shocked that the site displayed the true averages of my nearest COOP station, not some place 50 miles away like all the other crap weather sites sometimes do. That alone is quite impressive.

I know it is popular in Russia, but it has a negative reputation among Russian meteorologists. --- My favourites are yr.no (Norwegian), meteociel.fr (French), wetterzentrale.de ( German). |

Could you explain, why?

There are weather models on which are based all forecasts. The leading weather models in the world are GFS and ECMWF. Gismeteo just steals GFS data and modifies them a bit pretending that it is their unique forecast. The monthly forecast of Gismeteo is a joke, it doesn't make sense. And you, why do you like it? |

Gismeteo is widely used here too but it is not my personal favorite. GM changes its forecasts very often and gismeteo's one-month forecasts can't be taken seriously.
However, the site of the Russian state meteorological service meteoinfo.ru is what I like, I look at it often.

Mainly NWS. I upload my PWS data to Weatherlink, CWOP and Weather Cuckderground and occasionally check on weather forecasts at WU for international locations, I look at weather.us (Meteologix internationally) for weather model output.
