About
WeatherDaddy v1.2.0
A fast, offline-capable progressive web app for 8-day weather forecasts, hourly graphs, severe-weather alerts, and your favorite saved locations.
How to use
Swipe left or right anywhere on the main weather dashboard to cycle through your saved locations.
Swipe the temperature graph or tap a day in the 8-day list to view that day — its high and low will float up into the hero card. Swipe the quick-stats grid to see more details. Tap Today at any time to jump back to right-now conditions.
The first tile, Now, always shows live conditions. Tap any tile to project that hour's temperature, icon, and "feels like" into the hero card (e.g. "This evening at 8 PM"). Scroll the bar horizontally to look further ahead — scrolling into another day flips the whole dashboard to match. Past tiles drop off as time moves forward.
Double-tap (or double-click) the big temperature in the hero card to toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius everywhere in the app. The Units screen still has the full set of options for wind, pressure, distance, time, and precipitation.
In the Locations menu, press and hold a city for a moment until it tilts, then drag it up or down to reorder your list.
Turn your phone or tablet sideways — the dashboard splits into two columns (hero + graph on the left, hourly + 8-day list on the right) and each column flips on its own 3D cube when you swipe to another saved city.
To back up your settings or transfer them to another device, open Import / Export Data from the menu. Tap Export Data to generate a JSON backup of your saved locations, current active city, and (optionally) your custom API key. Copy this text to save it. To restore or import, paste the backup JSON into the textbox and tap Import Data. Unit settings (like °F/°C) will not be affected.
Data & services
WeatherDaddy stitches together free, open data from several great sources. Massive thanks to each of them.
- OpenWeatherMap ↗ Current conditions, 5-day / 3-hour forecasts, and city geocoding.
- Open-Meteo ↗ Hourly precipitation, 8-day daily forecast extension, UV index, air quality (US AQI), and European pollen (broken out by tree, grass, and weed).
- OpenStreetMap Nominatim ↗ Landmark, address, and point-of-interest geocoding — powered by data from OpenStreetMap contributors.
- U.S. National Weather Service ↗ Severe weather alerts (Severe / Extreme) for U.S. locations.
- GeoNames ↗ The 20,000-city autocomplete dictionary bundled with the app, from the cities15000 dataset.
Built into your browser
- Geolocation API Used by the "Use current location" button to find weather for where you are right now. WeatherDaddy never sends your location anywhere except the weather APIs above.
Use your own OpenWeatherMap API key
WeatherDaddy ships with a shared service so it works out of the box, but you can plug in your own free OpenWeatherMap API key to get your own request quota and skip our proxy.
- Go to openweathermap.org and create a free account.
- Open API keys, copy your key, and paste it below.
- Heads up: brand-new keys can take up to 2 hours to activate. If you get an error right after creating one, try again later.
