b169 BETA: Weather History - see the past!

Post by par »

Friends, we have weather history now!
That is you can see the weather in the past.

You can check weather at any day and at any TIME within one year back.
In ANY location supported by YoWindow.

Download: YoWindow BETA b169

Inspector now displays high and low temperature over the whole day. When you look at Today you can see the weather through the whole day. Not just current weather and the forecast.

We are making this feature in collaboration with Open Weather Map.
http://openweathermap.org

This feature is in BETA now.
The history data may be missing for certain dates and locations.
The guys at Open Weather Map are already working on this problem.


I hope you to find Weather History entertaining, or maybe even useful.
Share your experience here.
Do you like Weather History?

Here's January 1 2014 in Saint-Petersburg, Russia

Hi Pasha,

Weather History is interesting and is showing the actual weather.
I had to shovel a lot of snow on my birthday (March 13th).
Weather History for March 12th is showing Heavy Snow.
I had my first bike ride of the year on the day before that snow.
Weather History for March 11th is showing a beautiful bike riding day.

There is one problem with Weather History that Saint Petersburg would not have.
I am not able to see the Weather History for days before Daylight Savings Time started.
So I am not able to see the record breaking cold of minus 40 windchill in the first weeks of January.

In November, I will probably not be able to see the Weather History for days before Daylight Savings Time ends.

I just checked Caracas, Venezuela and the 1/2 hour time zones are still incorrect.
Other than that, good job.

:good:

Hi Pasha,

I hadn't sent you a reply yet because I couldn't clearly determine how stable it was/is.

I still can't at the moment.
As far as I can see it's not so stable yet.
That doesn't mean I really welcome this feature.
I think it's fantastic!

Do you think you can use it to determine the season landscape at any giving point in time?
That would really be something!

Chapeau for your work :good:

Thank you, Fred!
Of course we can use weather history's or better season autodetection. But this is an individual task that would probably take a lot of time :(
