A favorite of mine, Windy.com -- which has had significant upgrades!

"In 2021, two new #ICON forecast models were integrated - ICON-D2 with local coverage for central and west #Europe and ICON Global. Thousands of new air quality stations monitoring primary pollutants worldwide were added from our partners #OpenAQ and #PurpleAir to fight #AirInequality.

"Several new layers were launched - Tidal currents featuring high-resolution data; the Sea currents dataset was updated; Thermals layer with soaring forecast for glider and paraglider pilots; Drought monitoring layers - Soil moisture, Moisture anomaly, and #Drought intensity, monitoring global drought.

"We also expanded into the wear OS category and introduced Windy Apple Watch App. The 3D Globe mode was brought back for most layers (desktop only), including the Hurricane Tracker.

"In 2022, we launched several new features and improved existing ones. In the beginning of the year, we added a new #radioactivity set of stations as a POI overlay and partnered with SaveEcoBot, run by a non-profit organisation SaveDnipro, and obtained a broad spectrum of environmental data sources in #Ukraine and offer them in an easy-to-access way to our users and other affected communities for free.
New local models HRRR for the US and ACCESS model for Australia were added, along with a set of layers wet-bulb temperature, UV Index and Solar power.
With release of iOS16, the Windy.com iOS app got LockScreen widgets, which can be placed on the phones's locked screen. A new significant iOS feature.

"For the #HurricaneSeason, we launched redesigned and upgraded our Hurricane Tracker and added multimodel forecast & LIVE satellite visualization. Users in the US could also appreciate an improved radar resolution and coverage."

Via their website I've learned about #OpenAQ, an environmental tech nonprofit. They collect and provide air quality data, and I found out that my city has an air quality sensor placed close to my house. So I'll just get an OpenAQ API key and get data from there for now to integrate it into my #HomeAssistant setup. Still, a big shout out to Air Gradient for doing such an amazing job!
