There isn't a web site better than the other and here is why:
The weather forecast can only be done by first gathering all weather observations around the world. It is the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) a division of the United Nations, that does that.
Those data are then redistributed to the member countries and some of them have national authorities that put them into complex computer models like, the NOAA in the USA does it for the Global Forecast System (GFS) model.
This then comes back with predictions for the days to come. That is made available to various forecast providers who tailor the information for their customers. The airman would like to know the cloud ceiling while the seafarer would rather know the expected wave height.
What you read on one or the other online provider, come from the same source. But, by adding local details, there can be a difference of temperature such as two degrees Celsius. Which one is the "most correct" is impossible to say. As it turns out, that day the temperature can be entirely different because e.g. the high pressure will cause an inversion and local morning fog patches that are unpredictable.
