It occurred to me today that I am hosting more and more services locally, but I still rely on a 3rd party weather app on my PC and phone. Generally, they suck as a class of applications - so much surveillance.

I searched around and found a couple Reddit threads from years ago, before Apple killed off the DarkSky API. But I think there are still free APIs, yes?

Are there any good FOSS current weather and forecasting self hosting options now? Thanks!

I’m in the US if that matters.

    France provides the Open-Meteo API for europe too. I just tap into this source.

    It is better than AccuWeather anyway often times. Foe Geometric weather it actually works too. With AccuWeather I wouldn’t get any air quality stats.

      Is Geometric Weather displaying info on thebdetail cards for your chosen service? I changed it to OoenWeatherMap and still shows me accuweather cards
