Products that do what Weatherspread, visualizing recent weather and tourism data does
I (Max) built this web app with two friends (Tristan and Shelby) to aid in planning travel and events. Usually you plan things far enough out (say, 3-6 months) that there’s no reliable forecast. So historical data is your best bet. We’ve observed that the last few years is a much better indicator of what the weather will be like than most data sources which aggregate from 1900 or even 1950. We’ve also added tourism stats, and synced it to weather data. This has been particularly eye-opening. It lets us see when a country experiences over-tourism (e.g., Croatia and Austria) relative to its…

This was posted before but I'm quite pleased to share a major update for https://oikolab.com. We now have available seven decades of hourly weather data starting from 1950 for any location in the world, thanks to the recent publication of ERA5 reanalysis data from European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). ERA5 is gap-free, gridded dataset generated using data assimilation method (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_assimilation), similar to NWP models but with the benefit of hindsight. As far as we're aware of, we're the first weather data…

We just released a new weather website using all sorts of awesome web technologies. We use ModestMaps to show tiled, animated radar and satellite data, Raphael.js to show historical averages and record high/lows, and MapQuest's new Nominatim service sitting on top of OpenStreetMap to do location lookups. We're really proud of this site and would love to hear your feedback and to have try it out: http://preview.my-cast.com/

Weather apps all claim to be accurate but never show their work. So I built a scoreboard that checks: it takes the forecasts each model published (ECMWF, GFS, ICON, AIFS and others, plus Apple Weather, Foreca, OpenWeather and Visual Crossing), waits for the weather to happen, and scores temperature, wind and rain against observations. A few things that surprised me: - AIFS performs very well, yet almost no commercial apps give you access to it or uses it in their blend (I suspect some do without disclosing it tho) - Foreca scores surprisingly well compared to other apps and raw models - ICON…

I got tired of bookmarking weather sites wherever I went so I created this. It generates a forecast based on your current location. I'd really appreciate any criticism and feedback even more so.

This is a simple single page weather app I made that grabs data from NOAA for where I live. If you view the html source you can see it's pretty easy to configure it for wherever you live in the U.S. You just have to edit the links. Personally, I like using this more than any of the weather apps out there because it's fast and has the data I want and need, and no ads. It uses the latest version of Bootstrap and jQuery. https://ezofficetech.com/branson/

This is a small iOS app (iPad / iPhone) app I worked on that basically shows weather on a map (along with day/night info). Just something I made to quickly see what conditions are like all over the world. http://bit.ly/tUuEKB (app is free and ad-free, more just an experiment than anything else) Backend is in java (server) and perl (pulling data). More interesting than the app is perhaps the platform behind it. I hope to introduce other kinds of data to be seen on a map. Currently getting about 500-1000 downloads per day on iPad. Really just curious if people find anything unique or…

I miss Dark Sky, so I built my own weather app. Here's how GrayCloud works: * Raincast: minute-by-minute rain prediction and accumulation tracking for your exact location * Forecasts: 10 day forecasts use multiple high resolution sources and correct for bias at your location. * Alerts: rain starting, stopping, severe weather, daily summary and more * Widgets: home and lock screen widgets * Multi-platform: apple watch and mac apps I use NOAA and ECMWF models for core weather data and a custom model to compute rain accumulation and the next 60 minute radar movements. I also offer Apple…
