What's the most accurate weather app?

I've tried numerous apps, and there is always a very large discrepancy between them. For example, Go Weather says 50 degrees, The Weather Channel app says 64 degrees, and the Fancy Widgets weather app says 69 degrees.

I have them all set to refresh every 30 minutes. I don't understand why there is such a difference among the apps.
 
Just use the one that comes with the phone. There's plenty of factors that determine the temperature. Where is the weather base that the app is using located, just because the app says Westminster, CA doesn't mean the app are pulling the same location. It may be raining outside but at the weather base no rain in the forecast. Non of these apps are accurate to your location only to the weather base.
 
I found it, I had hid it with the Go launcher. I un-hid it, but everytime I try to add it to the home screen, I get a black box that says problem loading widget. What do I do?
 
If your running 4.2.2 or later I'd reccomend chronus. Its a port of the cyan weather clock. You can also choose between a few providers on who you want your weather provider to be. I always choose AccuWeather never had a problem with them. But the chronus weather clock is awesome.
 
Another option is to bookmark your local weather stations website, and just pull it up in webbrowser when needed.
