Those daily forecasts are highly localised though. I live in a city with half a million people that has its own little microclimate because we're surrounded by large hills on 2 sides and ocean on the other two. A general forecast for even 20 miles around us would almost certainly be wrong.

> As for the next 30 minutes, I have tried AccuWeather and DarkSky. Both get the timing wrong about as often as they get it right for my location.

Anecdotally here the met office is right far more often than it's not.
