  • ultra-weather

    UltraWeather gives user-friendly, actionable weather forecasts.

  • 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

  • wttr.in

    :partly_sunny: The right way to check the weather

  • Usually I use the default Samsung weather app, but when I'm on my PC https://wttr.in/ is a fun one, and you can even get terminal-readable output by using something like cURL!

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • we4ther

    we4ther is designed to be a minimal weather site that loads quickly and knows your location

  • Nice, I made something similar with https://github.com/ip2k/we4ther?files=1 a decade ago. It used to be up at we4ther.com but I hadn't updated the code in a long long time and didn't bother migrating it to my latest server. The free MaxMind GeoIP DB is def good enough to detect location (this was before the browser location API) close enough to give accurate weather.

  • wx

  • On android, I switched to the open source "wX" app, which uses NWS data under the hood. It's incredibly detailed.

  • GeometricWeather

    A Material Design Weather Application

  • On Android I use Geometric Weather. I believe it uses AccuWeather.
