ultra-weather VS open-meteo

Yes~ I wrote about this over ten years ago: https://blog.leftium.com/2013/12/how-to-display-temperature-...

Sadly, Naver stopped showing the past weather like that.

This was on of the main motivations for creating UltraWeather: https://github.com/Leftium/ultra-weather#readme

UltraWeather was missing some features like AQI and minutely rain predictions (coming soon!) so I made WeatherSense ^^

> What we really need is a combination of the two. Something that measures air temperature and water content because 68F at 5% humidity is a lot different than the same temp at 40%

The "feels like" apparent temperature accounts for things like humidity and windchill[1].

Many weather apps provide the "feels like" temp, including my app: https://uw.leftium.com

I was going to drop the "feels like" reading in my new weather app (I just didn't notice a major difference), but maybe I'll keep it...

I tried sharing a couple of my web apps:

- HN the way I want to read it: https://hw.leftium.com/

- Source code: https://github.com/Leftium/hckrweb

- Weather forecast compared to last two days' weather: https://github.com/Leftium/ultra-weather#readme

One of the reasons I built https://uw.leftium.com/ was so I could see the previous two days' weather.

It uses the DarkSky API, but also supports other weather API's: https://github.com/Leftium/ultra-weather#readme

UltraWeather uses the openweather geocoding API[1]:

https://openweathermap.org/api/geocoding-api

Pretty generous free tier, and paid options seem pretty reasonable.

Next, we'll implement the tool. This is where we'll make an API call to the Open-Meteo API to retrieve the current weather for a given location.

Free open API for weather --> https://open-meteo.com/ --> curl "https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast?latitude=52.52&longitude=13.41¤t=temperature_2m,wind_speed_10m&hourly=temperature_2m,relative_humidity_2m,wind_speed_10m"

Hi, I am building an Open-Source Weather API aggregating open-data weather models from NOAA, ECMWF, DWD, MeteoFrance, JMA, CMA, CMCC and others. I fully that many weather companies basically redistribute NWS data at a premium. There is a free API service available on https://open-meteo.com and all databases are redistributed via an AWS Open-Data Sponsorship. Feel free to reach out if you need help building your weather data broker startup

OpenMeteo - https://open-meteo.com/ to get weather forecast

Yup, just manually type your location in that window.

Weather is coming (at least for now) from https://open-meteo.com/

I tried out the new omWeather and I definitely like it even better now. It uses a different data source, open-meteo.com, which doesn't require an API key the way OpenWeatherMap does, has better location search, has working sunrise/sunset time display, and a more informative main screen widget with observation and forecast information.

Then I started to learn about wind and I got interested in getting wind details easily so to note them down. I asked around my community and I got an answer: open-meteo.
