Minutecast weather

Is it possible to somehow force an update to the Accuweather MinuteCast app so it gives the weather for your actual location?
Mine frequently will tell me whether it is going to rain or not in a town or city 200+ miles away. These aren't even places I've ever been to, it just seems to lock on to a random location to tell me the weather predictions in that place, which is entirely useless

These are some of the things I've found on the connect iq store that are worth taking a look at, from my perspective anyways. I'm an amateur astronomestorm chaser so most of the stuff is related to those fields.

I'm here in Asturias on the Camino del Norte and the weather apps I swear by in the US (Accuweather's Minutecast in particular) are just not accurate. It's raining and Minutecast is like, yeah it's cloudy. Any recs?

Aside from a few rare instances like the thunderstorm the other night and yesterday's rain, I have recently noticed that when I check the MinuteCast radar (AccuWeather), it tends to somehow show light rain areas just bordering Berlin and over time the frontier moves pretty much along the city borders, around the city.
Is that just the app being wacky or has anyone else observed it? Does it maybe have to do with the city vs countryside humidity difference?

Hello there!
Sorry for this strange question that may be obvious to some... but... what weather forecast / radar do you use to check "no rain intervals" during the day? I.e. Sometimes I would like to plan my outside activities based on the amount of rain that will get but I sometimes feel that certain weather forecast pages/apps do not tend to be updated that often during the day...
Example: Today for instance can be a rain day but if I know that there is no rain between 15h55 and 16h15 that may allow me to pick-up my parcel from Royal Mail office with a minimal amount wetness.
Thank you in advance!
Edit: Thank you for such quick replies, MINUTECAST from Accuweather is something that I was/am interested. :)

I installed AccuWeather MinuteCast widget and it wants a weather API. Got an Openweather API but where do I install it?

We all use it at some point, some more than others. If you want to know what to expect from the sky-gods this week, you check the 5 day forecast, where each day is summed up with a high/low temperature, a single icon to represent sunny/cloudy/rain/snow/thundewindy, and sometimes a percentage for precipitation. This is for each entire 24 hour period. But a lot can change in 24 hours! If you're planning a barbecue and want to know WHEN that Saturday thunderstorm is expected to hit, then that 5-day forecast may not be enough.
Some sites offer an hourly forecast, but it's just as bad, forcing you to click on the "next" arrow until you see a lightning icon and decide if it's too close to your social distancing barbecue party. Even worse is Accuweather's "minutecast" where some psychopath decided, "now that we have all this data, lets just make a long list of icons and descriptions for each minute of the day to scroll through. It's really important to know that it's still 'light rain' at 11:18 am"
Maybe all of this isn't quite as terrible as I'm making it out to be, but what gets me, what really makes this more of an unpopular opinion than a TED talk sales pitch, is that there's ALREADY a much, much better way of showing the forecast. There's an amazing invention of easily visualizing data called "the graph". With one line, you can show the temperature ups and downs for the whole week. With another line or area plot, you can show chance of precipitation, not just for the day, but time of day. Even sky cover can be represented in percentage.
No, I'm not a meteorologist. I draw goddamn retail floor plans for a living. You can find all this information (including cloudiness as a percentage, HOURLY) on NOAA's weather.gov. Unfortunately, they only graph 2 days at a time. So, with a dream and some spare time to achieve it, I put together an Excel workbook (yes, frickin MICROSOFT EXCEL) that pulls the data from NOAA and charts it on one beautiful graph. It really didn't take much effort to do, because I'm just stealing data and having the program plot it. Yet with this one graph, I see everything I need to know for the entire week in like 4 seconds. Here's what this much improved yet never used weather forecast looks like: https://imgur.com/a/WAm7ohY
So why don't weather forecasters, the people whose JOBS are to take the weather data and make it easy for people to visualize and process it, use this method? Am I the only person who finds a graph so much more helpful?

I’ve got a 5s sapphire and want to improve battery life, so I want to streamline battery drain to widgets etc I find most useful or that drain the least. I’ve read the tips articles online.

• Does keeping the watch on the timer or stopwatch screens use more battery?
  
• Does it drain the battery to have weather, minutecast, sunrise/sunset widgets or others even if I don’t use those widgets often? What widgets have you found to use battery the most? Least?
  

McGill University and Environment Canada in Montreal are both big movers in the weather forecast industry. I would definitely recommend you check out the radar and nowcasting systems offered by McGill.
Recently there have also been a bunch of startups that are making a big splash too.
About 5 years ago, a small company called SkyMotion started out in Montreal to build more accurate rainfall alerts. They sold to AccuWeather a few years ago and are now called MinuteCast by AccuWeather. Here’s their Android app
And about 3-4 years ago, I launched PressureNet in Montreal as well, an open source app to use the Android barometer to crowdsource data to improve weather model accuracy. Here’s PressureNet on Android.
There’s yet another important weather app (Canada-only!) that is built largely out of Montreal called Sunshine (and here’s link to Sunshine on the iPhone App Store). The Sunshine weather forecasts are generated using iPhone barometer data by meteorologists in Montreal (while the app is developed in SF).
I think Montreal is under-appreciated as a city of atmospheric science and weather forecast innovation, so I thought I’d share this little recent trend/history.
