Weather website

[edit]

Is there any European weather website similar to AccuWeather, The Weather Channel and Wunderground that eiuld offer forecasts, national and global weather news and other such things? Are there any English-language sites that are such? --40bus (talk) 16:46, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

European countries each have their own weather bureaus, but they generally share their data with the sites you already mentioned and more. If you go to the Nordic Weather Service (Yr.no) for example, you'll see forecasts for the whole world. My favourite on mobile is Yr and the UK Met Office, on desktop the BBC. I am in the UK, and in terms of weather warnings and video forecasts specifically, they (except for Yr) cater specifically for UK audiences. For foreign forecasts, Wunderground on desktop is perfectly fine but their app has a bit of 'nonsense'. Komonzia (talk) 00:02, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
