    It all depends on whose weather you want to watch.

    - - Everybody's weather, all over the Earth ... north/south (polar) orbit

    - - Close-up view of weather within a certain limited range

    of latitudes ... oblique orbit

    - - Very limited range of latitudes, close to the equator ... low east/west orbit

    - - Daily coverage of the same north/south strip ... synchronous oblique orbit

    - - Continuous 24/7 view of the same area ... synchronous stationary orbit

    Weather satellites are usually placed on North-South orbits because this allows the satellites to see the entire surface of the Earth.
