Great work! That said if we are focusing on the UX, windy.com has got the best weather reporting experience. Ex: I am almost never interested in "30% chance of shower at 08:00pm" type of forecast. I am more interested in the trend in which the clouds/rains are moving. This helps me figure out which direction I can drive to get the best sunshine or whatever else. Is there anyone else who is doing it the way windy.com is doing? I really love them, and so far their experience is great (almost no dark UX patterns), that said I would love to see some more competition in this space.

I’m a big fan of Meteoblue, they provide a lot of different forecast ensemble visualizations. While not the same as windy in terms of ux, it does a good job of conveying model uncertainty and model agreement.

> This helps me figure out which direction I can drive to get the best sunshine or whatever else. I published a road trip weather app that crunches forecasts for you if you're going for a drive and would like to avoid the worst of the weather. It's great for evaluating whether to start a trip during the evening or the next morning. Timestamps are built using Google directions so you have about as accurate a forecast as you can in 2024. > I am almost never interested in "30% chance of shower at 08:00pm" type of forecast. I understand this sentiment but that is sorta where medium term forecasting is right now. Android or iOS https://weatherthetrip.com/download https://weatherthetrip.com/download

We used windy.com earlier this year to choose our location for the total eclipse in Texas. Worked out perfectly - great view for the eclipse, then the clouds rolled in...
