Announcing FediMeteo – Weather in the Fediverse!
UPDATE: I have created an account for updates and other information on FediMeteo - follow the account @admin to stay updated!
UPDATE: Ireland, Poland, Portugal and Switzerland have just been added
Weather has always influenced our lives: from agriculture to outdoor activities, to extreme events that, thanks to modern technology, can now be predicted with greater reliability. Personally, weather plays a significant role in my daily decisions, which is why I decided to create a service tailored for the Fediverse.
FediMeteo uses Open-Meteo data to publish updates every 6 hours, including current weather conditions, forecasts for the next 12 hours, and predictions for the upcoming days. Each country is served by its own dedicated instance (e.g., it.fedimeteo.com for Italy), managed through snac to ensure simplicity and efficiency in publishing.
You can follow FediMeteo directly in the Fediverse (on Mastodon and compatible platforms), via RSS, or by visiting the dedicated page for your city (e.g., fr.fedimeteo.com/paris).
Currently supported countries include:
Austria, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, – with many more regions coming soon!
FediMeteo is hosted on a FreeBSD-based VPS, with each country isolated in its own jail to ensure security and scalability.
Visit the main site to explore the national instances and start following your local weather updates today:

Happy weather monitoring to all! 🌦️
FediMeteo is dedicated to my grandfather, who every evening would give me the weather forecast based on TV, radio, and his personal experience. He would convince me that the weather would be bad, so he had an excuse to accompany me to school instead of me going alone.

in reply to Stefano Marinelli • • •Thanks for adding Ireland but don't know if Irish is best language for it? Most Irish people don't speak it?
Maybe have versions in Irish and English?

in reply to Stefano Marinelli • • •I don't dare take a position on this as it would be a political can of worms 😁
But there have been documentaries like this about the topic:

I guess you're going to run into this even more with Switzerland?
EDIT: Maybe there could be multiple accounts for countries with several languages? Would this be feasible, or would it add a lot of complication to FediMeteo?

in reply to FediThing 🏳️🌈 • • •I'll think about it. I have the same problem for Switzerland, and the reason why it isn't there is that I couldn't decide which language to use there. After some comments from some Swiss users, I decided I'll use English.

Whatever you decide, thank you so much for doing FediMeteo! It's brilliant! 🤩
