wX (Weather app geared towards storm chasers, meteorologists and weather enthusiasts)

Breezy Weather is quite good.
Not a hurricane tracker, but I’d like understand a bit about open-meteo and breezy weather. I notice for my country there’s no way to be more specific than the whole country, therefore location needs to be enable, or so I guess.
Does open-meteo requires some information exchange such that it’s easy to identify the user/device? Does breezy weather actually attempts to anonymize the user or fake it to make them non identifiable?
Just wondering.
Thanks !
Wow that’s a pretty app. Thanks for introducing me to it!

It also has quite nice integration with Kvaesitso launcher.
windy.com with a VPN in a private browser window. They can’t track you if they don’t know where you are!

Isn’t it illegal for the NWS to make an weather app because of lobbyist?

Yea pretty mess up, your tax dollars pay for the data that weather apps use for free, then some of those apps charge you lol. It was a big issue when the Hawaiian fires happened.
I use QuickWeather and use the Open-Meteo integration. You can even selfhost it for better privacy probably.

There’s an open source front end called WX, it’s a little harder to use but it’s easy to adjust too.
It has multiple different radars that work well in places that don’t have much data

I don’t understand this obsession with only taking advantage of free labor and giving nothing back. Seems anti-thetical to the entire FOSS movement.

Having Google analytics means it’s the same as a Google owned website. You shouldn’t recommend such services for privacy.

OS?

Sorry but now with the edit I can’t recommend anything because the radars seem to always be very proprietary for some reason. I know some good weather apps. One of them has a feature called “weather emergency notices” or something like that. It can be what you’re looking for but I’m not sure. “Breezy Weather” is the name if you’re curious.
