Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Weather .. at 4.5 against forecast.co.uk's 4.0. Weather .. also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (21K vs 2). forecast.co.uk's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
