Show HN: Meteosource – Hyper-local weather app with minute-level nowcasting
Hi HN,
I’m one of the creators of Meteosource Weather App. We have just released an update to our weather app and I would love to get your feedback.
Most weather apps are simple wrappers around a single API. We wanted to see if we could actually improve accuracy by using multiple models.
Instead of relying on a single provider, we built an engine that pulls from a multi-model ensemble (combining GFS, ECMWF, HRRR, etc.). We then apply machine learning to post-process these outputs — essentially training models on historical observations to identify and correct the systematic biases of each underlying numerical model for specific locations.
Key Technical Features:
- ML-driven Nowcasting: We use real-time radar data and neural networks to predict precipitation to the minute
- Bias Correction: Our models learn from past errors to improve local accuracy
- Hyper-local resolution: We downscale global models to provide data for any specific coordinate
The App:
- Precise hourly forecasts and interactive radar
- Activity planning based on custom weather conditions
- Minute-cast notifications and beautiful animated maps (in the pro version)

- Sikara 7mo agoHi, the exact improvement heavily depends on the specific location and the weather patterns at the time. Generally though, we see roughly a 10% improvement in day-ahead forecasts for core variables like temperature and cloudiness compared to the raw ensemble average. The difference is even bigger if you compare it to the standard single-model approach that most weather APIs use.
