BBC Weather - Latest Quality Issues
iOS
Sep 24, 2023
Used to be good
Such a shame that the BBC switched from using the Met Office as its source for weather information. I love the way the weather data is presented in this app, and it used to be pretty accurate. Sadly, not any more.

Total Garbage
This has got to be the most unreliable and consistently wrong forecast App for Weymouth (Preston). Completely at odds with the Met Office App which is 98% correct.

This used to be a good app but the BBc have now implemented sign in to use the app which didn't used to be the case. This seems ridiculous to me. Also the accuracy of the forecast is poor, the Met Office app is more accurate.
