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!

I’m in the US if that matters.

      I plug NWS into home assistant for a nice weather display in my kitchen.

      France provides the Open-Meteo API for europe too. I just tap into this source.

      It is better than AccuWeather anyway often times. Foe Geometric weather it actually works too. With AccuWeather I wouldn’t get any air quality stats.

        Is Geometric Weather displaying info on thebdetail cards for your chosen service? I changed it to OoenWeatherMap and still shows me accuweather cards
