@drdrang dark sky was built from an algorithmic approach. Weather has 2 separate data flows: current and future. Current comes from sensors. Future comes from A) extrapolation from sensors B) algos.

So you can see how Dark Sky doesn’t have a network of sensors, this won’t be great at current, and can only do B method.

As you might guess, the way they get Current is by interpolating between forecasts snapshots.

Generally Current is harder than Forecasts for these reasons, plus is falsifiable

I’m open to hearing how you’d write the alert differently. Otherwise we’ll have to respectfully agree to disagree.
