Met Office Weather Forecast - Latest Quality Issues

Absolutely useless. The Met will tell you it's a fine day whilst you're floating in a thunderstorm. The amount they change the 'forecast' is a good indicator of how wrong they are all the time. My dog is a better predictor of the weather than this rubbish.

Sometimes has a glitch, but works mostly. 60% accurate.

Better than any other app for weather info. Not 100% accurate but I'm sure that's not possible

Generally accurate but forecasts too much rain

Reliable accurate forecasts but the latest April 2024 face-lift has ruined the app making it look amateurish and clumsy. Also why so many brackets around place names? Please restore the previous interface.

Since last update 3 days ago the accuracy has been a mile off. Yesterday there was intermittent hail stones when it should have been clear and all today so far it has poured down when still showing clear. Had rained for almost 3 weeks now so shouldn't be hard. 😢

The dark mode has changed from a lovely black/dark grey to such an ugly mid-grey now. Loved this app for it's widgets but I'll be finding a new weather app now that looks less ugly on my homescreen.

Awful!
They change the weather by the hour sometimes. I can look in the morning and there isn't a raindrop in sight and an hour later it says rain for most of the day. It seems the more technology we have the worse the weather prediction.
