Not only that, Null said, but some weather apps might just pull from the closest airport or weather station, without accounting for the many microclimates that naturally occur.

Also, frequently, someone nearby has a busted-ass weather station in their backyard that’s way off. And unless you unlock the premium features, often subscription, you can’t pick which station better represents your actual conditions. I’m not paying another $1.99/month for forever.
