Many years ago, I wrote a little script for scraping someone's weather site and returning the bare essentials for current conditions. The script began breaking down as they didn't support that raw HTML interface very well. Then at some point, I acquired a feature phone and I was interested in figuring out the currents/forecast as I was out and about. The KaiOS built-in web browser was functional but crippled, so again I had major issues accessing weather sites to find out what I needed. I knew a colleague who is on a sailing team and I knew she would know weather, so I asked her, what is a good weather site without much ads and with a simple interface? And she replied immediately, weather.gov. I could have kissed her, because this was such an amazing and pragmatic idea I wouldn't have come up with on my own. And weather.gov has been my go-to weather site for probably 15 years. It will suck if weather.gov's service is degraded in some way. No matter how many people hate it for existing, the USGov truly puts out excellent science and fantastic content. So much of it is publicly exposed, public domain, and in the service of the American people. It will be sad to watch this valuable infrastructure decay or be abandoned.
