Why not! Weather apps are all a bit boring, so I set out to make the most accurate weather app that's also a bit fun. Rich, who built Weather for Dads
In short: one dad joke a day, rated by dads in the Weather for Dads app, with a winner every Sunday. The UK's daily dad joke: today's, the one leading this week, and the last five weekly winners.

The joke with the best ratings over the week wins on Sunday evening.

To get better buns.
Top rated by dads over the last seven days, from 6 ratings on its day.
Yes, and dads' own jokes go to the front of the queue. Open Weather for Dads, tap Other stuff in the bottom right, then send your joke with your name, or anonymously. If it gets through (standards are low, but not non-existent), it gets its own day and goes up against everyone else's for the weekly win.
The best dad jokes are the ones dads groan at hardest, so we let them vote. These are the 20 best rated of the 134 jokes we've told since June 2026, from 362 ratings in the app: spilt my beer scores 5, a hard nose exhale 3 and a short nap 1. Each needed at least three ratings to count.

Every Sunday the week's best rated joke wins. Here's every winner so far, newest first; each week's page has all seven of that week's jokes, ranked.
Plenty: we're a weather app. There are 26 on our weather jokes page, from rain and wind to snowmen and the British barbecue.
Every day's joke can be rated once per phone: spilt my beer (5 points), hard nose exhale (3) or short nap (1). At the end of each week, Monday to Sunday, the joke with the most points wins, with ties going to the one more dads rated. If you have alerts on in the app, Sunday evening's notification tells you which one won.
A dad joke is a short, clean joke built on a pun or a groan-worthy twist, the kind a dad tells his kids whether they want it or not. The joke is half the point; the eye-roll is the other half. The phrase goes back at least to the 1980s: a Pennsylvania newspaper used it in a 1987 column praising fathers who tell them.
Right here: this page changes every morning. In the Weather for Dads app the joke of the day sits under Other stuff, and if you turn alerts on, Sunday evening's push tells you which joke won the week. You can share any joke straight to the family group chat from the app.
Because a wet forecast goes down easier with a groan. Weather for Dads blends five forecasts into one plain answer (is it a barbecue day, can I mow, will the washing dry), and every morning it comes with a joke. If you came for the jokes, the forecast is the same app, free and with no account.
Five forecasts blended into one plain answer, with every one of them marked in public against what actually happened. Free, no account, no ads.
On Android or a computer, open the app and tap "Add to phone Home Screen": it works like any other app. A Google Play version is on its way.
