I've just updated the Fedimeteo code! From the next update, you'll have wind forecasts for the coming hours and also for the upcoming days.
Additionally, there have been some underlying changes to prepare for new features... but this one is still under development for now! 😊

Ciao, FediMeteo!

In the past few days FediMeteo seemed to be having some performance trouble. I dug into it and only found minor issues, until I realised the VM itself had fallen off a cliff. After several reboots it became clear that both bandwidth and I/O latency had dropped to absurd levels. I suspect the provider slapped a cap on it.

So I took the chance to move everything to another VM and provider, still at 4 euro per month. And starting today, forecasts will be delivered straight from Italy. The performance jump feels like going from a storm to clear skies.

FediMeteo’s mission goes on. More countries are coming (stay tuned!) and we will keep aiming to serve everything from a 4 euro VM. I do have powerful hardware available, but proving that the project can run on tiny resources is still part of the mission.

Infrastructure Update

I have just rolled out a configuration change across the entire FediMeteo network.

I've enabled remote purge propagation. Since weather forecasts have a short shelf life, there is no need for old reports to take up space on your servers.

From now on, when FediMeteo deletes local posts (usually after 14 (was 3) days), we will also send a deletion signal to the rest of the Fediverse. This helps keep your timelines clean and your storage usage low.

Happy New Year, #FediMeteo friends!

New year, new features! Let’s go step by step:

Some results for city coordinates were not fully accurate, and forecasts were referring to the center of the administrative area rather than the actual city center. This also affected my own city, with a shift of about 30 km. I have revised the coordinate calculation process and, starting from the next update, the reference point will be the center of the target city. I actually discovered this while implementing the last item on this list...

In addition to wind speed, FediMeteo will now include an arrow showing wind direction. The direction will also be reported as a value in degrees. This feature has been requested several times in the past, and I think the time has come to introduce it.

New data added: AQI, the Air Quality Index. Using different indices for each local context would have been complicated, and reporting them all would have made the output unnecessarily complex. For this reason, I chose to use the American AQI for all cities, with a visual indicator to quickly understand the situation at a glance. This is consistent with major weather apps and allows for proper comparisons between different cities. PM2.5 and PM10 values are also included.

I hope these new features will be useful and… let’s keep moving forward!

#snac #FediMeteoUpdates #FediMeteoAnnouncements #FediMeteo

FediMeteo got a solid upgrade today 🌤️

From now on, forecasts are richer, clearer, and a bit smarter, without losing the familiar, readable style.

You will now see more complete current conditions at a glance: feels-like temperature, humidity, pressure, visibility, UV index, and wind gusts, all grouped in a dedicated Details section. Sunrise and sunset times for the current day are also included.

The wind line is back in focus, clearly highlighted for current conditions, and gusts are shown separately using 💨 emoji so they are easy to spot and not confused with average wind.

Pressure is no longer just a number: FediMeteo now shows a real pressure trend over the last few hours, telling you if it is rising, falling, or staying stable.

A new Warnings section has been added. When relevant, the bot will automatically flag things like:

extreme feels-like temperatures, hot or cold
high UV levels
poor air quality
thunderstorms
heavy rain likely
strong winds or gusts

Hourly forecasts remain at 12 hours, but now include pressure too, which makes short-term weather changes easier to read and anticipate.

Everything is fully localised. Labels like “feels like”, section titles, and weather descriptions are consistent across languages, and all weather conditions are now covered everywhere.

In short: same FediMeteo you are used to, but with more context, clearer signals, and fewer surprises.

These changes will start appearing with the next forecast update.

I've reorganised the forecasts' output and now it should be easier to understand, with the most important data first. As many instances and clients will add a "Read more" button after a specific amount of text, I tried to concentrate the most important information (and the "alerts") in the first part of the posts.
