Which Weather App do you use for touring ?
We usually like to have a touring holiday rather than staying in one place for an extended period. To make the best of things we keep an eye on the weather forecast and move on if it looks unfavourable.
I've tried a variety of apps in the past but so often, they seem to generalise on weather conditions and are not specific to the local area we are visiting - that is, until I tried Ventusky.
It proved to be very reliable all over France last autumn and having used it at home for the past few months, I have been very impressed by its accuracy. I particularly like the ability to zoom in - the timing of when rain arrives is surprising good.
What is your favourite weather app ?

I use weather.co.uk and if intending to cross the Pryenees in winter https://www.snow-forecast.com/maps/dynamic/pyrenees

My lovely other half uses what came on her i-phone, which seems OK, but I'll try and load the Ventusky onto my tablet for when we are travelling.
In the UK I have only used the BBC Weather website on my laptop. When we lived in Essex I found it extremely accurate. We then moved to Merseyside where it performed poorly as in Devon where we now live.
I can only assume this is because the majority of our weather comes from the west. When in Essex the system had picked up lots of data from the land based weather stations that the weather had to travel through. Near the coast on Merseyside and in Devon this is obviously not possible.

Always reliable. The old ones that is! 😂 Alternatively the Met Office app.

I looked on line at Magic Seaweed now and then - just because I liked the name - but alas it has gone. It was sold and transferred from Devon to America.last year.
