I can sure see the logic of having a multi gauge with the current weather on it like temperature, wind speed, barometric pressure, and current precipitation. Then have another multi gauge for forecast with high, low temperatures, wind speed, chance of precipitation etc.
Several years ago I wrote a “how to” article for Nuts and Volts magazine that laid out the circuit and programing to query the weather-underground’s weather API and display it on an alphanumeric LED. It showed the current temperature, forecasted high and low. I built one of the circuits and set it on a shelf here at home. Over time my wife and I got use to looking at it as we ate breakfast. It gave us a quick feel for what the weather was going to look like. It was strange, we had all the weather details we could ever want from the phone and TV but found ourselves looking at that gauge to get a feel for how to dress for the day. Kind of why people look at a clock on the wall for the time when they have it on their phone, laptop, etc… Its easy and quick.
Well that was a long winded explanation for what I’m trying to do with this gauge and why I mixed current weather with forecast data. With one quick glance I want to let people know what to expect for the day.
