Weatherflow, thanks for the better_forecast API!
I had reason to use it this weekend – rain was likely, and I wanted to know how much to expect (our yard is torn up, with much loose soil that could easily wash away if we got a lot of rain). My old forecast sources, the hometown newspaper’s website & the local TV station’s weather app, told me how likely it was that rain would fall, but not how much was expected. As usual.
Enter better_forecast! A bit of time hacking a shell script to grab the JSON, process the forecast.hourly array, and not only did I have the info I needed about the weekend rain, but I now also have a task emailing me each morning if there’s a significant chance of rain in the next few days, and that email that contains both probability and accumulation predictions – hourly for today, and daily for the next few.
