		Yes, but currently only possible via url param: - https://weather-sense.leftium.com/?n=nyc n is short for "name" and uses the Open Meteo geocoding API[1]. [1]: https://open-meteo.com/en/docs/geocoding-api

It renders the information totally different. How can it be a clone?

Thanks for the mention! I'm the author of merrysky. Opened to feedback. What would you say you miss the most?

		Dataviz suggestions from top of the page to the bottom: - Location search & display: no English version, only localized names, which is hard to reason if you don't know native language. - Summary: a) what does precip. in % mean and how it correlates with cm? b) pressure is only displayed in hPa, while some countries prefer mmHg; c) what does ozone index mean and why is it important? - Next 24 hours: visual indication for temp variation through the day would be easier to reason than just by looking at numbers (as discussed in TFA). - Next 7 days: a) unnecessary precision for y-axis (e.g. 10.9°C vs. 11°C); b) band overshoot actual values (e.g. if I see 10..−10°C, I assume that would be max/min temp, but in fact it is 8..−9°C, which is impossible to tell without hovering mouse over); c) no horiz. line through 0°C; d) no horiz. lines through y-axis ticks, which makes it harder to reason about values closer to the end of the graph; e) precip. in cm tells little, especially when band is alike (0.00..0.80 cm) - peaks on graphs look like a lot, in fact they are not? g) seeing blue precip. graph subconsciously means 'rain' to me, while in fact it would be snow; f) labels for y-axis are at the same time very small, rotated 90° and also take too much horizontal space from the graph. - Map: moving mouse over next 7 days graph causes time shown on map to change that would make sense if map's timeline would cover all 7 days, but it only covers small part of today. - Week: a) fog icons look like they have solid white square background, which seems to be off compared to other icons; b) low/high values are hard to reason about, especially when it says 'Low … at 11am' and there is no tick labeled '11am' (10am .. 12pm) - displaying a line through coldest/warmest hours with °C value next to it would be much easier to understand. Also: displaying air quality prediction based on last year's AQ would be helpful.

		Not missed but ideas for the future * Adopt a colour scheme with similarity to the old BOM? * Some way to store longer baseline movie animations in local state so people can avoid cost in you but run the weather radar for longer? * Tide info? Hyper specific to people who do water things. Willyweather does this really well. I use Willyweather and Windy. I used to use a weather app written by some mob called "shifty jelly" and their git logs were .. hysterical. Drunk fairy penguins seemed to cause most of the bugs.

		Could you tell me the significance of the location in Australia that's used by default? I frequently clear browser cookies and history so it often jumps back there, so I see that location a lot, but can never envision exactly why it was the default. (Specifically, a point along Gol Gol Road in Arumpo, NSW, Australia.)

		May be too specific but as a European in the US, I would love to be able to see temperature in F and C at the same time!

And a toast to its source, the drop-in PirateWeather API: https://pirateweather.net/

Thx bro. I stumbled into this thread thinking it was about something else, and left with a new favorite weather bookmark.

Nice things:

  - Loads fast
  - Nice vis of both today and week
  - Can mouse over the visualizations to get precise readouts.

This is neat, but I find the charts extremely hard to parse due to the color gradients and the similar shades, especially of blue and teal. I find the Merry Sky charts a lot easier to understand.

		Perhaps I should add an option to disable gradients. There's a screen shot showing what it used to look like before gradients: https://github.com/Leftium/weather-sense

Great rec! Thanks! See also Windy.app (a paid app w/ great dataviz, dx, and robust set of data sources).

Windy.app looks good visually, but once you start using it, the UX is all over the place. Always find it frustrating.

	▲	chrisweekly a day ago \| parent [-]
		Interesting! I used it heavily for years as a sailor and found it intuitive. Clearly, YMMV. :)

for what it's worth, most people i know prefer windy.com over windy.app

Windy.app is for wind based water activities. Windy.com is a data-heavy weather information site.

		As a windsurfer, wingfoiler, and kitesurfer i can only say that both Windy.app a nd Windy.com are awesome. Like the ability to compare different models easily.
