I'm looking for a FOSS Weather app for android - KDE Social

Hello! I’m looking for a foss weather app for android, so I went ahead to f-droid and tried a bunch of them, but didn’t find any that fully satisfies me: I want to be able to see the hourly forecast of any day of the week, not just the “global” forecast, and I want the weather service used not to require a credit card (openweathermap.org [http://openweathermap.org] for example requires the credit card to get an API key). Geometric Weather [https://f-droid.org/en/packages/wangdaye.com.geometricweather/] is the one that I’m currently using, with open-meteo as provider, but sadly it displays hourly forecasts only for the current day, but not for other days. Do you have any suggestion? Thanks in advance!

omWeather, on fdroid

The Breezy Weather is a fork and continuation of GeometricWeather. As I can see, there are hourly forecasts for the next days, just scroll horizontally (AccuWeather and Open-Meteo providers, tho, I haven’t checked others).

This one has been an absolute discovery. Amazing app well beyond the others I’ve tested up to now. Recommended.

I just wish it had a precipitation radar. I’m pretty sure the data is available because I’ve seen another FOSS app that had it, but I can’t remember which now.

I couldn’t agree more. Hmm. Maybe OSS Weather [fdroid link] has a radar map, but it didn’t provide much information. Unfortunately, I don’t remember

OSS Weather has decent radar for rain and solid stats in the home screen too. There’s three different sources for weather data you can select, so I’d bet one will be better than the others for radar mapping.

wX can show radar as well as daily/hourly for the next week or so. Not super pretty to look at but extremely functional

omWeather [f-droid link] has that!

Another vote from me for Rain. Much nicer to look at than the BBC Weather App.

I’m using Forecastie and Weather Widget. Both use openweathermap but via its public API, so only need internet access and your location

Been using forcastie for years and I like it. However there are plenty good apps I am sure on F-Droid.

ReversalHatchery Aug 18, 2023

Geometric Weather has been continued by different devs, and that version is called Breezy Weather.

You can also find it in the Izzy f-droid repo.

Uh, that's nice. Thanks!

SirMino Aug 18, 2023

Breezy is really a nice app, too bad on my phone the background updates just don’t work (yes they used to work on GeometricWeather)

ReversalHatchery Aug 18, 2023

Did you set the right power saving settings on your phone’s settings?

SirMino Aug 19, 2023

Yes battery optimization is disabled for the app, and no energy saver mode is on

I really like Clima. It uses the Open-Meteo API. Source here.

Beautiful, minimal, and fast weather app

EeeDawg101 Aug 18, 2023

Anyone know of any good options for iOS?

anguo Aug 18, 2023

Not FOSS, but free and ad-free, from a small Japanese developer: Weawow. The only thing that requires you to make a small donation is to unlock a couple of weather providers, but you have a big selection without it.

gelberhut Aug 18, 2023

Did not notice that a single donation is enough to unlock all weather providers. Thank you! Btw, which provider works best for you?

anguo Aug 18, 2023

I think it really depends on your location. I use AccuWeather, but I’m not yet convinced of its accuracy.

Trainguyrom Aug 18, 2023

Not FOSS, but did you know you can get your weather forecasts straight from the source? Weather.gov gives not only a standard 7 day forecast but also provides all sorts of weather data and lots of the charts on the site is designed to be customized then bookmarked even if your browser has cookies disabled!

flirpel Aug 18, 2023

wX gets its data from weather.gov and is open source. It has a lot of forecast products and can even notify you of watches and warnings.

Weather app geared towards storm chasers, meteorologists and weather enthusiasts

LaGG_3 [he/him, comrade/them]Aug 18, 2023

Looks neat, I’m going to try this one.

intelati Aug 19, 2023

wX is actually terrifying in its depth.

StarkillerX42 Aug 18, 2023

This is the right choice. Everything else is pretty much just a different frontend for the same data.

superkret Aug 18, 2023

omWeather checks all your boxes.

tubbadu Aug 18, 2023

Nice! The desktop widget isn’t the most beautiful I’ve seen, but It definitely is very very close to what I’m looking for! thanks!

+1 for Breezy weather

PenguinCoder Aug 18, 2023

I use NWS now and like it for what it is. An easy to use mobile front end for NOAA.gov data. Easier than trying to view the site on mobile browsers.

I’m using Flux, but it hasn’t been updated for over a year. And I don’t think it’s open source

👁️👄👁️Aug 19, 2023

Breezy Weather is the obvious option here, as many others have said.

I‘ve been using Forcastie for quite some time now.

Prognoza (GitHub) is also a nice one.

Putting it here as its own child comment…

wX (Gitlab link) is my new “standard” weather app. It’s a bit crusty and dense in data, but man the density is a feature, not a bug in my opinion.

Do you build it yourself?

I just use the play store

Love wx, I use it along side storm shield to get a good idea of the storms rolling in.
