Problem is that almost nobody has AFPEX. Even most of UK PPLs – who got accounts assigned c. 2009 as per here – no longer use it.
Yep, can’t remember my login details now… And they expire as well!

Aero Weather
AeroWeather is my “go to” app, work excellent and would highly recommend…BUT, I experience some delay on the METAR there as well, normally 5-10 mins. Probably has to do with the data providers, as described above. A quicker update would be very nice.
Shouldn’t there be state-operated platforms directly available as official sources ?
In France we have the official Meteo France website (aviation.meteo.fr) and the DGAC briefing tool (SOFIA briefing), both of which are official, managed by the administration, and update instantaneously (at least as far as I can tell, definitely faster than third party websites).
In Croatia we also have official aviation weather web site https://met.crocontrol.hr with instant METAR and TAF as well as other forecasts.
