![]() ![]() Maybe some indication of “now” here would also help orient viewers, and link the hourly forecast to the daily one above.Īnyway, the devs are always tweaking things, so I hope they’ll run across this and take it into account in their designs. Admittedly, forecasting the past is easier, but still I with it was scrolled to the point where I could see what’s upcoming. The hourly section came up exactly like this on a fresh launch of the app. The red line looks like temperature, but what those unevenly-spaced hollow dots represent, I haven’t the slightest idea.

What I want is to scrape historical daily weather data from, without paying the API. (not faulting anyone for this–gotta pay the bills)Īre my eyes playing a trick on me, or are the “daylight” sections of this top readout darker than the nighttime ones? Nights are the dark times, right? Let’s scroll past the huge tracts of ads. The Wundermap is nice, but I wish I had more control over what appears above the fold… I just want to know if I need to grab an umbrella or not, and so on.Īnd what’s going on with the little wind dial? Is it pointing northwest or southeast? And I have no idea what that - underneath “Winds” is supposed to show. Likewise with hourly specifics, like (‘Rain will begin around 2:00’) rather than just a percentage spread out over some unspecified amount of time. The app used to show relative weather (“Today will be cooler than yesterday”) which I really miss. (It took me a bit to realize this was temp, and not a compass direction). That’s taking up a LOT of real estate here, and it doesn’t add a lot given that the temperature is already listed. The first thing you might notice is the large circular dial.
