I am connected to one that is 0.1 mile away but there are five as close as 0.5 miles away. I find this a lot more accurate and they also have rain gauges that you can see if you are wondering how much rain we received. It works well being north for my last summer before being full time this September.

The personal weather station that works with the Rachio is the Tempest unit:
Tempest Weather System
You can then set your Rachio to suspend irrigation depending on the amount of actual rainfall at the weather station on your property.
Get it if you are a gadget junkie or just connect to a nearby unit. Amazon Prime days coming up...
There are personal weather stations all over TV. Just look at Weather Undergound.
Here is my station:
