It occurred to me today that I am hosting more and more services locally, but I still rely on a 3rd party weather app on my PC and phone. Generally, they suck as a class of applications - so much surveillance.
I searched around and found a couple Reddit threads from years ago, before Apple killed off the DarkSky API. But I think there are still free APIs, yes?
Are there any good FOSS current weather and forecasting self hosting options now? Thanks!
It depends on what country you’re in. If you’re in the US, the National Weather Service provides an excellent no-bullshit “please don’t abuse this” API.
I’m really not sure what you’d gain from self-hosting this unless you own your own weather station though since you’d have to reach an authoritative source that provides the forecasts eventually.
