What I am most amazed of is how they manage to get my actual location always right...
I mean, we all now those "geolocate me" things on websites, but I've never encountered a single page where it worked; it's always hilariously all over the place (shows the headquarter of my provider, or just locates me in Frankfurt at the DE-CIX).
But wttr.in is different. I wonder what the magic ingredient is and why no one else seemingly has it.
- nvarsj 6y agoIt depends entirely on the geolocation database being used to map your IP address to location. wttr.in seems to use https://www.ip2location.com/ https://www.ip2location.com/ so maybe they have better mappings for your ISP. Bigger providers tend to use Akamai or similar.
