I live in an area which has many different microclimates which weather
greatly differs; so I prefer a report and forecast that fine-tunes right
down to my postal zip code. I use a console for

$ curl wttr.in <zip>

I query https://api.weather.gov for the latest observations for my grid.
The Raspberry Pi also queries a DHT11 sensor for the inside weather and
serves up a webpage I can query in a browser on the other boxes. Right
now:

Temperature: 72.0 F
Humidity: 26.0%
Outside Temperature: 55.4 F
Outside Humidity: 71.7%

It's a WIP. I've got to spice up the html and will probably add the
forecast from weather.gov.

That would work fine for my specific location, as it has a reporting
station which is just 2 mi to my WNW; we have microclimates that are so
'fine' as to be different depending on the prevailing breeze, generally
W-ish where the cooler ocean waters are. One has a different climate depending on how many miles inland E they are and what is the quality of
their breeze, depending on the terrain, which is also quite variable.

I happen to be in a location somewhat inland which has a fantastic
breeze 'from the sea' usually.

I'm about 5 miles from the station. Their observation can be a little
warmer than my actual conditions this time of year when the sun hides
behind the mountain. If I were really ambitious I'd have a remote station
out in the yard.

Thanks, it's nice to have an alternative weather site (weather.gov).

I wrote a tk/perl app to display the info from that API (thank you for posting about it lo those many weeks ago...)

It's a bit bare and janky, but I wanted to have my weather icons. ;)

(Maybe a web page is a better idea though, then I don't have
to maintain a separate tk program.)

forecast from weather.gov.

I first did a GUI using PySide6 but that required switching to the Pi.
Putting up a simple server meant I could access the data from any machine
on the LAN. Besides, I wanted to play with Flask. It's a bit like node/ express; batteries are not included but are readily available as
required.
