The app is Clime Pro on iOS, they lock full access to Hurricane Milton data behind a $10 USD per week paywall.
If you’re in the area impacted by Milton, you can find publicly available resources at the National Hurricane Center’s website: National Hurricane Center
Project 2025 wants to disband NOAA and give its functions to Accuweather instead, directing taxpayer funding to a private company while also locking all weather data behind a paywall, so they get paid twice to provide the same info NOAA currently provides with a single payment (taxpayer funding). The Accuweather founder, Joel Myers, and his brother, Billy Lee Myers (unsuccessfully nominated by Trump to be the head of NOAA), are major Republican donors, but I’m sure that is completely coincidental.
Holy fucking shit, Accuweather?! TIL
Catch me dodging that site from now on
Weather.gov had the front page downgraded during the Trump administration.
However, if you take a second and put in your ZIP Code and poke around some, it is really freaking good.
And it’s free.
Aww man, that was my go-to weather app. Anybody have FOSS suggestions for android?
I don’t know about apps, but they ultimately all get it from the National Weather Service. Since it’s a government service, the website is totally free of ads and other garbage. Just use that. Weather.gov. You can search for your home, and since it uses absolute URLs, you can then bookmark the results page and just go straight to that every time.
My CalyxOS came pre-installed with Breezy Weather
Weather.gov
Breezy on F-Droid, maybe Google Play, is pretty nice.
