Recommendations for open source Weather app that alerts when if its gonna rain

25 days ago by Cactus_Head to c/android

Preferably with a mimnal Ui, I dont need to The atmospheric pressure or precipitation level or wind speed. Just the temperature, if its Windy or cloudy etc.

I really like Breezy Weather. You can remove elements you don't want and it seems to support rain notifications.

Thanks for the recommendation. I replaced my weather app with a FOSS one in the last few years, but with all he chaos in tech, I need to keep a few options on-deck. Breezy seems nice.

Breezy Weather (a fork of Geometric Weather) is an awesome option! Just of note, there are two versions. You have the "standard" version with all weather sources (on their own F-Droid repos, IzzyDroid, and directly through their Git repo) and the "free" version which removes non-free weather sources (on their own F-Droid repos, the official F-Droid repo, and their own Git repo)

So if you install it through the F-Droid repos, you will only have free weather sources (like Open-Meteo) while if you install through IzzyDroid it will include non-free weather sources. Using their own repos / their GitHub lets you pick between the two. Just something of note, in case you feel strongly for or against non-free weather sources.

Breezy Weather has a really clean UI and the information shown can be customised. If you don't want stuff like pressure or wind speed to be shown, you can disable it! You can toggle notifications for alerts, next day forecasts, etc. You can also change what weather sources you are using per location, e.g. if you have added Hong Kong you might want to use the HKO for alerts.

Hey, I recommend Breezy Weather! You may not have heard of it, as it doesn't get recommended much, but it's really good!

My favorite is that app called Weezy Breather.

Oh whoops, that's my spoonerism kicking in. I meant breezy weather.

The KNMI app is great and non commercial! It's made by the Dutch Meteorological Institute

Merry Sky FTW! I'm not sure if it sends alerts but it's simple and effective. I made it a phone app and I love it.

Sounds like something you'd use home assistant for... Or program your own app

Lmao. Oh, I'd like to see the weather on my phone. Lemme just write up an app that pulls data from all the right sources for your location real quick.

Sorry, as someone who actually makes apps, I didn't think it was that hard, naive of me

I also actually make apps, but the vast majority of people don't
