Free: BBWeather. See our Aftermarket software section here.

Commercial: BeWeather, or BerryWeather, same application. Available in AppWorld or from Bellshare - BerryWeather

Those two are the best there are.

You could also take a look at WeatherEye. It's another free weather app.

Weatherbug has a free app too. I prefer this one because it ties into the Map applicatioin and does a radar overlay.

Though not free, the latest version of BeWeather / Berryweather also has radar maps - both built in maps and customizable maps.

I moved back and forth among BBWeather, WeatherbugDirect (the free version) and WeatherEye. They were each ok as far as I was concerned, but not great. Happily, they were all free.

I had refused to sign up for an app that required me to pay a periodic recurring fee to get my weather report, but when BerryWeather (or BeWeather) came out, I thought it reasonable to pay a few dollars (less than $10) - once - to get something that would be truly polished and appealing as well as having the core feature set I wanted.

BerryWeather has been evolving since I purchased it, and I've been the happy recipient of free upgrades.

In short: it visually about the nicest looking weather app for my 8900 -- looks absolutely great. There a several different ways to display the weather. I can add any number of cities as well as my home city, and scroll between them when checking the weather. The addition of a cell/GPS location is fantastic, and really comes in handy when you travel. I scroll to this selection any time I'm on the road, and immediately have the report for my current location -- brilliant. Finally, the weather maps are great. I've followed the threads on the BellShare website and customized my maps. Great! I'm also looking forward to future innovations.

All in all, I'm very happy with BerryWeather, and recommend that you consider it.

I use the app from Blackberry. It is from Accuweather, but you can find it at mobile.blackberry.com. It took about 24 hours to download the icon, but once I put the icon on my home page, I can access it quickly.
Also, I use th Viigo weather quite a bit. The good thing with Viigo is that I can quickly list multiple locations and check them as needed.

finding free weather apps that work with the UK are a bit difficult.
viigo is great for weather, but thats the only thing id use it for, so i gave up on knowing what the weather might be and removed it.

I resisted paying for a weather app for a while but finally purchased BerryWeather because it is simply awesome.
