My own small hobby project. It gathers data from OpenWeatherMap, but will soon get data from another API. Check https://lemmy.ml/post/337241 for the official website that uses Serenum API.

I use the window of my salon with a weather station. I don’t like weather apps, because they need your location to work properly, which can be a privacy hole. A cheap electronic weather station has the same or even more accuracy. They work with an sensor outside, to measure humidity, atmospheric pressure, etc. When you need the weather, because of an trip, you can consult the global weather map for you country or for the destination.
Weather forecasts aren’t even as accurate as many claim to be. Especially any forecast that’s past 48 hours is bs. You may have a macro trend but not for a specific location. And an app that tells you it’ll definitely rain in an hour is just nonsense.
For privacy it’s always best to set your location manually. There’s no reason to give an app access to your specific location. Even if you move into another town/city for work. The weather will be likely the same or very close.
