It occurred to me today that I am hosting more and more services locally, but I still rely on a 3rd party weather app on my PC and phone. Generally, they suck as a class of applications - so much surveillance.

I searched around and found a couple Reddit threads from years ago, before Apple killed off the DarkSky API. But I think there are still free APIs, yes?

Are there any good FOSS current weather and forecasting self hosting options now? Thanks!

I’m in the US if that matters.

    Home Assistant comes with a weather app that you can use for scripting.

      I got myself free API access to openweathermap.org and added it to Home Assistant. You can create some nice dashboard items from the data from it.
