http://www.averageweather.io/ http://www.averageweather.io/ - tool to make planning for travel much easier. When you are too far out for a forecast, I found myself taking too many clicks to get average weather data.
EDIT - Whoa. Getting lots of traffic. This site is like 3 days old and I taught myself python and django to build it. Open to any recommendations at jonathan at averageweather dot io
EDIT 2 - Back up... Site crash ... Google apps shutdown smtmp connections which crashed my entire site.
- franciscop 10y agoThis is really cool, would it be possible you add a toggle somewhere for Celsius degrees?
- averageweather 10y agoThanks! I definitely will. Hopefully today. Very common, understandable request. I only launched it a few days ago. Definitely has things I want to improve.
- franciscop 10y agoAlso I've used Google's Places Autocomplete before for something similar to the city selection, it gives you a dropdown with possible locations.
- averageweather 10y agoWanted to let you know that I have added a Celsius button.
- brak1 10y agolooks nice - would be handy if it was in celcius too (and if it showed avg rain %)
- averageweather 10y agoThanks. Agreed. Will add celsius. Rain % displays when the data is there. Otherwise I don't show it. Maybe I should show N/A or something ...
- averageweather 10y agoJust added Celsius.
- beachstartup 10y agothis is really cool. feature suggestions: * range of dates * zip code support cleanup thanks!
- averageweather 10y agoThanks! Range is something I am trying to figure best how to do. I know how, but it is "expensive" in terms of API calls etc. Like would someone pay for this feature? Zipcode - Django has a great library so that is a next step for me.
- beachstartup 10y agothis is out of left field but one thing i find myself searching for is sunset/sunrise times in the future, especially when traveling to different latitudes. could be a cool addition if this info is available.
- averageweather 10y agoThank you. I believe I can get that ...
- poopchute 10y agoWolfram alpha has that functionality if you type in a place and a date. Example: "Vancouver BC, december 2, 2016"
- koliber 10y agoCan you save the DarkSkye data so you never make the same request twice? Over time, you would have data for all places and all days of the year.
- edpichler 10y agoI would use it if it was in Celsius.
- averageweather 10y agoNoted! Will work on that asap.
- averageweather 10y agoI wanted to let you know that I've added a button for Celsius.
- lpasselin 10y agoNice website! Some urls are weird though. You have a trailing / somewhere I guess. http://www.averageweather.io/averages//Tokyo/11/15/ http://www.averageweather.io/averages//Tokyo/11/15/
- averageweather 10y agoThanks ... I've been seeing those on google analytics ...
- nommm-nommm 10y agoSupport for entering postal codes would be really nice. :) Also it would be nice to per-populate the date field to today's date.
- mrfusion 10y agoWhere do you get the data?
- averageweather 10y agoDarksky
- mrfusion 10y agoThey have a free API that offers that kind of stuff?
- detaro 10y agonot free, but cheap: https://darksky.net/dev/ https://darksky.net/dev/
- averageweather 10y agoWhat he said. Light years cheaper than any similar offering.
- jaredandrews 10y agoExcellent work! I have been traveling down the East Coast for the past month and found all the similar solutions for this problem very clunky. So happy you posted this!
- averageweather 10y agoThanks, I appreciate it.
- findjashua 10y agoLooks like San Francisco will drop to 0 degrees on the 18th!! http://www.averageweather.io/averages/San%20Francisco/California/11/18/ http://www.averageweather.io/averages/San%20Francisco/Califo...
- averageweather 10y agoBundle up! Let me look into that ... Thanks
- shovel 10y agoGreat project. Especially launching from 0. Have you considered adding a Celcius option for us quirky Europeans?
- averageweather 10y agoThank you. After I switch to Google Places Autocomplete, celsius is next.
- tomascot 10y agoFor us in the rest of the world...
- averageweather 10y agoI know I know ... Sorry
- tomascot 10y agoDon't worry, it's a nice problem to have. Having users around the globe is something you should be proud of. Congrats.
- averageweather 10y agoWell ... assuming traffic doesn't die post Hacker News fame ;)
