Re: [Weather] What weather information can be displayed?

 

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the update! So just wanted to clarify with the temperature, would the update be on an hourly basis? Or is there any time specified for morning, evening and night temperature(e.g., 6am to 9am)?

And is the condition (e.g. cloudy/rainy) associated to the temperature/timeframe too?

Thanks,
Christina

Hi Christina,

I got an update for you regarding the daily forecasts, it's with less data as the current weather and the forecast:

- temperature
- night temperature
- evening temperature
- morning temperature
- pressure
- humidity
- condition

Greetings
Martin

  Hi Christina,

 hope I can help you:

 1) we're using http://openweathermap.org/API [1] ( they are providing
also maps )

 2,3) the following data for current- and forecast weather is
provided:
 - date
 - temperature
 - temperature min
 - temperature max
 - pressure
 - humidity
 - condition ( see here for possible values
http://openweathermap.org/wiki/API/Weather_Condition_Codes [2] )
 - wind data (speed, degree)
 - snow or rain (but not for provided for all locations, as far as I
see)
 - there is detailed data about clouds, too

 Example from the API-docs:

http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.1/forecast/city/524901?units=metric
[3]
 (you can paste the json in http://jsonlint.com/ [4] to get a nicer
view)

 The data backend of the app will be designed to make it possible to
add other services later on, if wished.

 Greetings
 Martin

 Hi everyone,

 We are currenty sketching for the weather app, and came across some
 questions that we'd like your help on!

 1. Where are we sourcing the weather information from? (e.g., NASA)
 2. What sort of details can we provide for Today's weather?
 3. What sort of details can we provide for tomorrow, and the next few

 days' forecasts?

 Weather details relate to information such as, current temperature,
 highest-lowest temperature, humidity, precipitation, pressure, wind
 direction and speed, etc. Obviously, this list is not extensive and
we
 want to know what can be included (or not!)

 If there's a list that you can provide to us that we'd be really
 helpful. Or better yet, if there's no restrictions or limits of what
 could be displayed then let us know too!

 Looking forward to hearing from you shortly!

 Cheers,
 Christina
