New site: forecast.io
« on: March 26, 2013, 05:04:23 PM »
Hi Folks,

(Did a quick search, and it appears, this has not been discussed here yet.)

Have you seen http://forecast.io yet? Really neat. They're the makers of the excellent iOS app, "Dark Sky", and have decided to take the prediction capabilities and expand upon them, in a web-based app, no install necessary. Additionally, they're making an API available for developers to integrate their data into other apps, much the same way Weather Underground makes their data available.

Things to check out: the "Time Machine" shows weather in specific places in the past and future. The text based forecasts attempt to give you a little more context than other sources, like instead of "Partly Cloudy", they might say, "Partly Cloud until 1PM, then clear and windy." Drill down deeper to find minute-to-minute predictions.

Definitely checkout their blog posts for more on their project and philosophy.
