Not always correct but pretty close

I look at this every day so I can hang my washing out . Mostly great but sometimes it gets more wet . Mostly good tho

Predictions.

Predicting the weather in advance is far more easier than being successful with picking the lottery numbers.

Password needed - really?

I understand you should have a TV licence to watch BBC programmes, but why should I need a password to see the weather forecast? With so many other weather apps around, including the resident Apple one which works perfectly well, why does the BBC erect this obstacle to seeing what the weather’s like tomorrow? Up themselves, I reckon.

Flawed

Wind strength (and direction) plays a significant role in the weather experienced. So why not have the wind symbol in the day thumbnails, along with the temperature and rain/sun symbols. There is room there, and it would save having to click on the detail/scroll to find out whether it’s going to feel like a pleasant day or not.

Precise

Very accurate, user friendly app

Weather

Mostly accurate with the forecasts

Weather app worse than website version.

The bbc online weather has gone down the pan. First, it is giving the forecast in Welsh and I can’t get rid of it. Sometimes news and sport go Welsh and then revert to English. So if I change to the app, the formatting is inconvenient, the map, which is the most accurate, is nationwide instead of tailored to where I am; and to cap it all it’s gone Welsh too (I live in London). Can’t find a human to rescue me. It was so good before.

Usually wrong

I’m looking at a clear blue sky when the forecast says there’s a high probability of rain. The repeated inaccuracy of this forecast messes up my days completely (fair-weather cyclist).

Often wrong

Usually pessimistic forecast. Frequently inaccurate. Pity.

The weather

It’s first choice to get the forecasts because it’s usually accurate and easy to use.

Cant Open App-Frozen

App is asking me to login. Enter email then it freezes. All I want to do is see the weather. Deleting it.

Always way off

The predictions are nearly always wrong. I can never trust this app. I would not use this app to plan a day out.

Most accurate I’ve found

I am very pleased with this app. I had been using other Weather apps which were often wrong. This one really is pretty accurate, which is the main thing.

But I also think it looks nice and is easy to use.

I had the old BBC Weather app maybe four years ago and it is a huge improvement on that.

Home panel gets in the way

The weather seems mostly accurate but the display can be frustrating. The lower white ‘Home Discover Search’ panel covers the temperature listing by hour on iPhone 16E. Can’t get rid of it.

Great service

Gives me an idea what to wear

Storm, what storm?

I’m more than fed up with at least once a week reading that we are going to have several hours of storms that we never end up having.
Your algorithm, well it doesn’t work and is at best misleading.
It’s time for you to look at this differently or people will stop trusting the app

Feels like?

Needs feels like🤔

Not at Park Corner

Blue skies out the window, pouring rain on the app

I am looking out at blue skies and fluffy clouds. According to the app my post code is experiencing rain, with a 76% chance of it continuing, gradually lessening until it goes away eight hours from now. Why should I trust this?
