On top of good maps and gobs of data, it lets you pick the weather prediction model, which is where most other apps all source their data anyway (usually from GFS).

If you want something more hardcore, you can see the raw data as it comes out of supercomputers here: https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/

Texas!

38C+humidity in summer is pretty normal here. Hence I still watch tropicaltidbits pretty closely.

We also have some nasty critters around homes, though not quite Australia-tier, I think.
