Hello! I’m looking for a foss weather app for android, so I went ahead to f-droid and tried a bunch of them, but didn’t find any that fully satisfies me: I want to be able to see the hourly forecast of any day of the week, not just the “global” forecast, and I want the weather service used not to require a credit card (openweathermap.org for example requires the credit card to get an API key). Geometric Weather is the one that I’m currently using, with open-meteo as provider, but sadly it displays hourly forecasts only for the current day, but not for other days.
Do you have any suggestion? Thanks in advance!
The Breezy Weather (fdroid link) is a fork and continuation of GeometricWeather. As I can see, there are hourly forecasts for the next days, just scroll horizontally (AccuWeather and Open-Meteo providers, tho, I haven’t checked others).
I just wish it had a precipitation radar. I’m pretty sure the data is available because I’ve seen another FOSS app that had it, but I can’t remember which now.
I couldn’t agree more. Hmm. Maybe OSS Weather [fdroid link] has a radar map, but it didn’t provide much information. Unfortunately, I don’t remember
omWeather [f-droid link] has that!
I like rain: https://github.com/DarkMooNight/Rain
“Rain” is also available at Izzy’s: https://android.izzysoft.de/repo/apk/com.yoshi.rain
Not FOSS, but did you know you can get your weather forecasts straight from the source? Weather.gov gives not only a standard 7 day forecast but also provides all sorts of weather data and lots of the charts on the site is designed to be customized then bookmarked even if your browser has cookies disabled!
wX gets its data from weather.gov and is open source. It has a lot of forecast products and can even notify you of watches and warnings.
Geometric Weather has been continued by different devs, and that version is called Breezy Weather.
You can also find it in the Izzy f-droid repo.
Breezy is really a nice app, too bad on my phone the background updates just don’t work (yes they used to work on GeometricWeather)
omWeather, on fdroid
