Serenum
serenum.org
Serenum is a weather service that respects your privacy.

When I was finished with Serenum API, I started over with the website Serenum to show the data from the API with style.

I built the website with no JavaScript first, building for an example the bar charts with HTML and CSS by hand. After everything was done, I added 2 features with JavaScript: getting your current location 1 time with GPS and adding a map from Leaflet for choosing a place with it.

Thanks to this strategy, Serenum works perfectly with and without JavaScript.

The website are far from done, though. Both astronomical calculations and light theme are missing, more features with JavaScript will be added, and more.

    Sorry for a late reply.

    Yes, Serenum API uses OpenWeatherMap :) I have sent an email to OpenWeatherMap regarding their privacy policy, if they log anything when calling their API.

    And regarding the API at met.no. I didn’t knew YR was FOSS :O Really good! Will take a closer look into it!

    However, it is unclear if YR log anything from when using their API (source: https://hjelp.yr.no/hc/en-us/articles/360003337614-Privacy-policy). This applies to OWM as well. I’ll wait for their reply over email before I decide to switch or not.

    Many thanks for telling me this! :D

    Edit: After reviewing api.met.no’s locationforecast, I will email them to ask what they log when calling their API. If they say that they do not log anything, I might choose YR over OWM, no matter what OWM says.

        Sounds like met.no is a different services than YR. I did send them an rmail yesterday. We’ll see what they say, but I do really like their API. So I might make the switch even if they log something when calling their API.
