I love the app, though I wish I could set a location for it to check instead of having to leave my location on in order for it to work.

NaoPb ,

How to update default repisitory? I cannot find an option to and Google isn’t particularly helpfull.

laverabe ,

Try searching org.breezyweather in fdroid. For some reason I had to type it exactly like that.

github.com/breezy-weather/…/INSTALL.md

NaoPb ,

Thanks that worked for me.

Does anyone have issues with the time showing as wrong. It’s always 6 hours out for me. Not found out why…

RenBiv ,
@RenBiv@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m case anyone finds this comment this looks to be fixed in v5.2.0

Seems to be: Fix current location keeping old timezone on some sources, when travelling to a different timezone

NaoPb ,

This is neat!

michaelnik ,

wX (on Fdroid) is a bit geekier alternative. It has a textual weather description, links to AFD (Forecast Discussion by a human meteorologist), and fantastic radar features.

Add 3x1 “daily” widget, set view style to tile, change subtitle data to custom and paste this line on the field

$cuv$ $cps$ $ch$ $cv$ $0ss$ $0dp$ $1dp$

Been using breezy weather for a few moneths so far, I really like it. Im using the daily tile and the clock+daily 4x2 widgets (I have stacked them) and I get almost every info I want.

GlenRambo ,

I don’t see where I can change it to Tile, or data too custom.

BlastboomStrice ,
@BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz avatar

At least on my device, you have to pick the Daily 3x1 widget (it’s the 3rd for me).https://mander.xyz/pictrs/image/29965219-60f0-4b23-8c3b-b483b225323d.jpeg

GlenRambo ,

Ah! For me it’s “Daily 2x1” I don’t have the option in 3x1

Mine, I add some unicode emojis to make it look nice.
First line for weather details.
Then a blank space, or for alerts if any.
And a calendar line.

This is great, but for mysterious reasons the icon doesn’t appear on either my home screen or in the app tray. I installed the basic apk from github. It does open and it does appear if I go settings:all apps, so it’s definitely there.

Check under “weather”. While the app is called breezy weather, in your app drawer it’s simply weather. I hate this so much. Why can’t developers follow naming conventions…

aaa999 ,

Thank you, before reading this I ended up reinstalling it and that fixed it for some reason (icon appeared on the home screen like normal). Good catch though.

Where is the forecast data coming from?

Edit: Found it in the app description: Sources Available worldwide weather sources:

  • Open-Meteo
  • AccuWeather¹
  • MET Norway¹
  • OpenWeatherMap¹²
  • Pirate Weather¹³
  • HERE¹³
  • Météo France¹
  • Danmarks Meteorologiske Institut (DMI)¹
aclarke ,

I can’t speak for other countries, but for the U.S, all weather apps get the majority of their data from the National Weather Service. This includes apps like AccuWeather. The NWS publishes all weather data free and open, so it’s likely this app gets U.S. based weather information from there.

Halosheep ,

Does privacy-friendly imply that other weather apps are not privacy friendly?

Is someone selling my once or twice a day check of the weather?

“oh yes, this individual is only particularly interested in the weather when they’re getting dressed for the day or when weather intensity picks up” - literally describes like everyone.

scottevtuch ,

Lots of weather apps, since they have access to your location, sell that location data to data brokers or use location API services that do.

piecat ,

You think it’s only tracking you when you have it open?

fushuan ,

It got my hyped up when I saw you can have custom sources of weather, but according to github it doesn’t support the public Spanish provider, AEMET, so weawow it is for now.

@ForgottenFlux Maybe include a link to Breezy Weather’s installation instructions in your post?

How do I get this app?

Andromxda , (edited )
@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

You can either install the F-Droid app store, and use it to download Breezy Weather, or download the APK file directly from GitHub releases. You can also use Obtainium to auto-update the APK from GitHub.

Edit: I just realized that Breezy Weather even has an installation guide: github.com/breezy-weather/…/INSTALL.md

Thank you.

Using app it’s nice and all just wish I could set it for other cities like I had on my other weather app. Like Yellowstone National Park isn’t showing up.

Andromxda ,
@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I don’t know why it doesn’t work for you, but I just tried searching for Yellowstone National Park and it showed up. But for some reason it’s at the very bottom of the search results.

Fredselfish ,
@Fredselfish@lemmy.world avatar

Didn’t pull up all. Shows Yellowstone but countries and cities nowhere near the park.

It’s very nice, but unfortunately is not very navigable on Android TV.

Andromxda , (edited )
@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

There’s a feature request for this on the GitHub issue tracker, it’s open for contributions: github.com/breezy-weather/breezy-weather/…/566

CentrifugalChicken ,

Thanks!

magiccupcake ,

Damn this is a nice looking and very informative app.

As a farmer, I love this app. Great backend and UI, and generally very accurate. This will be the second year I use it to time fieldwork and spraying since the wind information has been spot on.

fushuan ,

If you like the interface but the data predictions start to not work, you can investigate and see if they provide any other weather source more accurate for your zone. That’s the beauty of the provider agnostic apps, that their focus goes into the information presentation and the content itself can be swapped into whatever works for you.
