Could try meteogram ... has a choice of different weather data sources so pick what works best for you. Disclaimer: it's my app ;-)
My favourite is Meteogram https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloud3squared.meteogram
Tons of customisation for the widget, also you can select one of many weather APIs to use, including Dark Sky (you need to pay for that one)
Ive set mine up to replace Aix weather widget, but you can do anything with the widget (which is also reflected in how the app opens up full screen). It gives lots of predesigned widgets that you can modify, or start from scratch.
I use Weather Timeline for the notifications and as a weather info app, but I love Meteogram's widgets for the exact purpose you are asking about. At-a-glance weather with whatever variables you want, time and conditions, in all kinds of configurations.
E: Linked to wrong app at first.
I'm using Meteogram Weather Forecast. Here's a screenshot. It's extraordinarily customizable, so you'll probably be able to tailor it to your liking.
It's the cloud3squared Meteogram Weather Widget, which is bonkers customizable.
Mine shows temperature, felt temperature, daily minima/maxima, rain, cloudiness, and sunrise/sunset, using a custom time scale so that the next hours take more space than the same interval tomorrow. But I don't use 90% of the features.
Meteogram has got such widget.
personally, I use Geometric Weather. it uses Accuweather and it's pretty.
I'm genuinely sorry to hear this news. As the developer of this meteogram app and widget for Android, I feel the pain: most users seem to expect something for nothing, or moan about a little unobtrusive advertising, forgetting that the developer has to pay for data and hosting, not to mention pay in personal time to put together something as excellent as Weather Timeline. I hope that Sam can bring it back to life.
Meteogram is the best though it can be overwhelming with the configuration options: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloud3squared.meteogram&hl=en_US&gl=US&pli=1
You can select which weather service provider you want, and if you add multiple widgets, you can show meteograms from multiple weather service providers at the same time so you can compare for accuracy. I use Norwegian Meteorological Institute and DWD as my two sources because they provide cloud cover data, and also go out 7+ days.
Try these... Meteogram Weather Widget and Meteogram Pro Weather Widget. The Pro version has more features, etc.

Thanks, which one do you mean? I looked on the play store and there are 2 apps with the same name (as well as the paid versions)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloud3squared.meteogram
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.inet.rainwidget
Just download Meteogram. It's the best local short-term weather forecast widget on the store and supports an enormous amount of weather data sources and can be made to look however you want.
Thanks for the reply!
I am looking for a simple widget as in the video, which shows temperature, rainfall, cloudiness.
I know there's Meteogram Weather Widget on Play Store, but I doubt the widget on video is based on that.
I use Meteogram https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloud3squared.meteogram which is able to aggregate air quality forecast information from AccuWeather and Tomorrow.io. It can forecast AQI about 4 days out.
I also use PurpleAir to check AQ currently and historically (I have one of the PurpleAir devices at my house).
Meteogram. There are two versions out there may by different developers, but this is the one I use.

You can customize just about everything, but they include some generated templates to get you started.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloud3squared.meteogram
You don't need to buy pro I don't think. You can do as much or as little as you want with it. I did buy all the upgrades and the developer is awesome about support though and I think it was well worth it for me as a super weather nerd.
I use the Pro (paid) version of this, which provides more information, configuration, etc. But, the free version might be what your looking for. You can try it to see.

It takes some getting used to, but a meteogram can provide a lot of info at a glance. This one has a ton of options to dial it in to your exact needs. Also, there's a choice of sources, the basic ones are free:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloud3squared.meteogram
For me, it works best to have a 36 hour widget on the home screen and a more detailed 7 day forecast on another page.
My biggest concern is having a good widget, so I use Meteogram. The amount of customization available is insane.
It requires a bit of tweaking, but Meteogram is what I moved on to. You can still get precipitation totals or % chance in the form of a bar or line graph from a few providers. You can also adjust the timeline to extend over, say, a weekend. It takes a while to set up, but well worth it.
It's pretty good afaik. The Norwegian data had some advantages when I was first setting up my meteogram a few years ago -- finer temporal resolution and better detail on precipitation, IIRC -- and I've mostly stuck with them because I've had no reason to change.
I use Meteogram. Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it can draw from many forcasters, is insanely configurable, and has a friendly and responsive dev at the helm.
I run it as a full-screen widget in the background, giving a few days' forecast in graph form (here's a screenshot from a few months ago), but I don't think my usage is typical.
It has a hot-spot that loads up Windy, too.
[Edit: in case anyone's interested, the traces are, reading from the top, UV, cloud cover, temperature, dew point, wind strength and direction, precipitation. Lines get subtly stronger and fainter to indicate day/night cycle. The clock is not part of Meteogram.]
Try the meteogram widget! It's has a super powerful and customizable widget to make the same and better than the wunderground widget

Indeed, which is why having a choice is useful (as provided by the meteogram app and widget for Android and as used to be provided by Weather Timeline... I believe that it now uses the new company's own data source, which according to recent reviews is perhaps not as reliable as other sources).
>I haven't found anything that meets the criteria which I'm looking for which is just simply hour by hour graph with lines showing temperature and precipitation, on the widget, so I can put it on my home screen and always know how I should plan my day
what is it about your criteria that isn't met by meteogram (the widget side of things)? disclaimer: I am the developer of this app.
There are virtually thousands of customizable widget apps showing you the weather. If you want one (optionally) showing basically every weather related data imaginable, try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloud3squared.meteogram If you want fancy backgrounds, go for weather time line or any other of the top search results in the store.
Launcher: Nova Prime.
Clock: KWGT. Displays sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, moon phase and illumination, high and low tides, upcoming calendar events and alarm.
Background: Meteogram Weather Forecast widget, showing cloud cover, temperature (actual and windchill), wind speed and direction and precipitiation for the next 36 hours.
Icons: home-made.
Meteogram - detailed weather widget in graphical format.
Clip Stack - simple no frills clipboard manager.
DiskUsage - like windirstat or wiztree on your pc, but for your phone. Basically shows all your system directories in a visual format.
> While there are decent apps already out there that are open source and have a good feature set, most of them are either ugly or lack functionality
I have been hoping for a kind dev to realize this and improve the current open source weather apps. One tip before you start: you should consider adding a meteogram (= a graph showing weather info). It is the simplest and most elegant method of displaying weather info, but some people just hate graphs and devs avoid them.
Since you asked for specifics, I would love to see:
Here are some apps for you to try out and judge their interfaces:
For example, notice how WccuWeather has different tabs for different views. One important thing if you are going to use tabs, make it possible to hide them! WeaWow also has many different views, but those are all listed in a long scrollable list (like a webpage) which is not very user friendly.
I think FlowX almost nailed the interface, but there should also be an easier view for people who do not like to read graphs.
Honestly, I am not a fan of your mock design. How is that different from what is available now? It is EXACTLY forecastie's interface. Use tabs for different views, not different time periods.
Link to free version is here. Disclaimer: I am the developer of this app :)
I was an avid fan as well, but finally jumped ship to Meteogram since Aix has seemingly been abandoned.
Yup, it's not a Tide ad. (sorry)
To make up for that here maybe try this? I love these types of visualization widgets https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloud3squared.meteogram
I have recently upgraded from Aix to Meteogram, you should check it out!
Oh wow, they look oddly similar. I used this one.
> Meteogram
How does flowx compare to Meteogram ?
Launcher: Nova Prime.
Clock: built in KWGT. Displays time, sunrise, sunset, moon phase, moonrise, moonset, illumination, high and low tides, upcoming calendar events and alarm. It's quite customisable using globals.
Background: the excellent and flexible Meteogram Weather Forecast widget. Currently shows cloudiness by height, wind speed and direction, temperature (actual and windchill) and precipitiation for the next 24 hours. (Yes, that is some nasty weather coming in.)
Front-page icons: drawn by me, because digging through icon packs is time-consuming and boring, whereas drawing them is just time-consuming. I intend to improve them.
I'm aiming to produce something visually coherent which keeps me subliminally aware of coming outdoor conditions. I'm striving for something that Edward Tufte would approve of. (I'm not there yet!)
Suggestions/comments?
Metrogram and all the customization possibilities that it comes with.

Very nice and customizable weather widget. Free.
Meteogram weather widget. Pro version is paid. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloud3squared.meteogram
I'm a big fan of Meteograms, which give a lot of data in a very small, easy to read format. Personally, I use the pro version of Metogram Weather Widget and it's both accurate and extremely flexible.
As an example, this is my home page widget: https://i.imgur.com/0dSqovZ.png
This displays: * Temperature * Precipitation * Wind strength * Wind direction * Dust/dawn times * Cloud cover
(there's a ton of other stuff, but this is the stuff I like)
You can try Meteogram Weather Widget. Many weather data providers to choose from. And you can create a widget for every data source you like to check and compare:

Alternative with several providers in only one screen view:

Meteogram, because you can edit everything in widget. I'm using free version and working very well.

Meteogram has a choice of several weather data providers, and the widget is almost infinitely customisable. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloud3squared.meteogram
The best damned weather visualisation app / widget ever, only for Android, with a nod to Edward Tufte:
​
​
Meteogram - very customisable, lots of data to choose from.
This meteogram shows precipitation probability (or percentage chance of rain) at the bottom, expected rain at the top, and other stuff too. This chart has been output directly from the meteogram app for Android, which you can use to customise a meteogram of your choice (including choice of weather data source). You can also play around with meteograms on the meteograms website.
If you want a widget that has a huge number of days points and is easily customizable, check out Meteogram Pro. The results are a bit ugly but you can customize most of it and split it into different widget instances like https://i.imgur.com/i9A6LJ8.jpgthis.
