I use Google since that has hourly. Couldn't get that on breezy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Just installed Breezy, it looks like only AccuWeather has hourly. Wanted to use some open source service but none of them know where Canada is apparently

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I use that because I can't be bothered with a weather app.

Kids these days with their GUIs and fancy apps. Just curl wttr.in as Thompson intended.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

They're not always correct, tho: recently checked it, it said smth like 14C which is supposed to be comfortable (yet it felt quite hot outside), then checked another provider -- 18C (yeah, that's closer).

I love breezy weather, but the widget has stopped updating since the last OS update. I've tried all of the stuff to prevent killing background apps. Anyone know a fix?

Breezy Weather all the way, also like Flowx app for it's easy to read and condensed whole week chart also available at a widget, name and icon looks like period ~~taking~~ tracking app but believe me it's a weather app, shame it's not open source

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Like a period taking app? Like tracking my menstrual cycles?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yeah, I've meant a period tracking app, autocorrect 😁

Gross, much prefer Wx, Breezy Weather and sometimes RadarOmega to watch severe weather outbreaks.

I love Breezy Weather!

Clima is nice, you can get it from F-Droid.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Get yourself a government funded (well, taxpayer funded) weather forecast page. Quite accurate forecasts for weather, rain, cloudiness (including simulated radar models). Also radar images for cloudiness and rain. And free historic data. Without ads.

But I guess that sounds too communism

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

I use WTForecast. It's funny. I guess I technically also use the default Android weather app, because my lock screen has rain or snow on it when either is happening outside, it's kinda neat.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Nobody has mentioned windy. It has multiple maps and multiple sources you can look through. Highly recommend

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Yeah, I like the map view so much better than the way forecasts are usually given because it gives much better context. You can see the cold and warm fronts and the various storms in the area and watch the forecasts hone in on the truth as time passes and they need to rely less on intermediate forecasts as they get replaced with actual data.

To add to this, very much the red icon windy app, not the blue one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

It's a different app of the same name but it's very much geared toward sporting weather than active weather.
It's probably great if you go sailing a lot or fly a plane, but it's not the best for hourly weather and radar.
They have the same name but it's too very different experiences.
The windy app with a red icon is far superior in my opinion.

I really like Weawow. I can customize the weather source and display it without ads.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I made a small feature request one time and the dev was responsive and put it in the next update! it was lovely

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I use Weawow as well and I like it. I really like the fact that I can use the NWS as my main source of information.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Weather apps, huh? Ever heard of looking out the window?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I like to throw mine at a famous person

I switch weather apps a lot. Actually "clima" and "Bura" are really good. Clima has a simple design and Bura looks nice with some fancy graphs.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Doesn't seem like those are available in Android.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

They are on f-droid. Maybe izzy repo.
