Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Weather ⁰ at 4.5 against forecast.co.uk's 4.0. Weather ⁰ also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 2). forecast.co.uk's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 6 months) and review sentiment (49% vs 36%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Weather ⁰ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weather ⁰ has 1.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of forecast.co.uk's written reviews are positive against 36% of Weather ⁰'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
forecast.co.uk ships an update every 4 weeks, Weather ⁰ every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
