But those two Cities don’t register.Īnd Toowoomba is closer to a met station than we are, unless you count the tiny country airstrip weather weather measurement service. ![]() Yeah we have an airstrip here, but Toowoomba has an airport, so does Hervey Bay, for example. What’s got me Flummoxed is the fact that much bigger towns, like Toowoomba, don’t register, while the little town I’m near, in the back blocks of Queensland does. The thing is I get a very detailed weather report and forecast (using wttr.in) for my nearest little town, but nothing at all for much larger towns and Cities. It’s not difficult to write a python/qt wrapper for wttr.in, and basically it will be fun, and I can make it work the way I want. The BOM api doesn’t require I sign up, and it knows my locality. Yes I know the OpenWeatherMap key is free, but the confirmation email has clearly triggered one of my anti spam filters, and I can’t be bothered finding out which one. Wego is written by the same person as wrote wttr.in, but it uses OpenWeatherMap Weather desk is out (see above), also aesthetic reasonsĬumulus is a possibility as it uses yahoo weather Simple weather indicator is out (see above) Meteo-qt is definitively out, ituses OpenWeatherMap If the data source doesn’t know about the small towns near where I live, then it has no value, for me.Īs I’ve already said wttr.in uses, among other data sources the Australian BOM, which means it does know about my part of the world. The problem has always been the data source. My rant was about how, at least until recently, there were none that knew anything about small towns in Australia. Thanks yes I am aware of lots of Weather apps. ![]()
