Why are there so many weather APIs? What's going on here?

Used to use wundergound but it got very slow, now I use Foreca and it's greathttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foreca.and...

it looks like weathernerd uses the darksky api, so it will have to find a new source for weather data or it’s also gone soon.

Why you need an app for the weather, what's wrong with websites?

did you find a weather API you found to be particularly accurate?

Weathergraph is the best weather app I've ever used, thank you so much for it!

Try Ventusky (https://www.ventusky.com/)

Give https://weathergraph.app a try - it ticks more or less all of the boxes in this article. Only thing missing is the radar.
