The Weather Channel and Weather Underground came top for low temperature predictions. Dark Sky came last in all these categories. In the UK, the BBC app has the most users, followed by the Met Office's.

Working with our weather data provider MeteoGroup, we provide hourly forecasts out to 14 days. When producing forecasts beyond the next few days, MeteoGroup uses weather model information which tends more towards trends in the weather, rather than a single 'deterministic' output.
