If any. I found a lot but not sure which one to pick.
 
Weather apps that offer different weather sources so you can get weather predictions that are actually realistic for your area:

My favorite: Carrot Weather
Other options: Forecast Bar, Hello Weather
 
I have been using Carrot Weather for years and I love it. I have tried Hello Weather also and I really like that app a lot as well.
 
I've been a big advocate of Carrot for a while. Unlike other weather apps where you can only use one set of data points, Carrot allows you to pull data from Forca, AccuWeather, Apple Weather, NOAA and a ton of EU sources so you have a better selection to see which one will be more accurate. Nearly endless amounts of customization too.

Keep in mind though that no weather app is 100% accurate all the time. Even Carrot gets it wrong sometimes but it's been more consistently accurate than Apple Weather has been in the past year+ for me.

Carrot Weather. Very customizable and as the others have said many data points to choose from. Also it has Siri Shortcuts, too.
 
I like Accuweather, but I've just had an email from Apple to say that Accuweather's subscription is rising by almost 40% this year. So I'll be going back to the free version and maybe looking for another app.

Another satisfied Hello Weather user.

Tried Carrot Weather but in my view it was too gimmicky.
The customization makes it also possible to turn off all the gimmicky stuff and you can really tweak the app and (homescreen) widgets how you want them to be e.g. with detailed precipitation % and amount. Forecast Bar and Hello Weather are also great options don't get me wrong.
