Can you tell whether it's going to be raining in 30 minutes? Can you tell whether it's going to be 10 or 22 degrees later today when you're up at 7am?
I definitely can't do either, and ive been wrong enough times to know that

We were _fine_.

I don't know about you but I certainly don't want to watch the news or listen to the news and traffic reports to get the weather. I'm _very_ glad we've moved past that

Really, your argument is that things were fine before we had instruments so we don't need them?
Sure, and I remember a time before internet (widely available public access) and smart phones. We were also fine.
Which doesn't mean these advances (including forecasts) aren't useful.
As for the next 30 minutes, I have tried AccuWeather and DarkSky. Both get the timing wrong about as often as they get it right for my location.

Anecdotally here the met office is right far more often than it's not.
