Multiple people have recommended https://yr.no/ to me recently. It's Norwegian but effective everywhere.

Came here to suggest this. As a norwegian I have been using it since forever, but I wasn't aware of how good it is for outside of Norway too until a friend of mine, who then worked with them mentioned that they had a surprisingly large user base from an African village.

I travel a lot for a living, so I often use it for places I am headed to on the other side of the world.

It's run by the norwegian metrological institute, so their model is based on the same data you'd have with paid services.

I was coming here to recommend the exact same thing. I use the Android app specifically. Even here in South Africa, it beats AccuWeather and all the others, which I'm pretty sure just go with the closest city instead of my actual location.

Yr seems to go the distance in actually finding the closest weather station to you, which you can view on a map as well. And the most accurate hourly breakdown I've come across. Nothing else compares anymore.
