yr.no is again default forecast for YoWindow
Posted: Wed Aug 13, 2014 10:02 am
Many of our users have noticed the switch from yr.no to OpenWeatherMap.org forecast recently.
We did this because yr.no servers has become very slow recently.
It turned out that there is an alternative forecast source Norwegian Meteorological institute (met.no).
This organization provides the data to yr.no.
Fortunately, the data are free as well.
The resolution and the variety of met.no data is better.
And the best of all met.no servers are very stable.
We are switching to met.no weather forecast format today.
All YoWindow clients (Windows, Mac, Chrome, iOS, Android, Web-Widget) will be receiving new met.no weather forecast by default
unless the location is NOT inside USA. For the United States NWS is the default forecast source.
This change is effective right now.
Update the weather manually to see the change.
It took us several weeks to write all the necessary code to switch YoWindow to the new forecast format.
We are sorry for the delay.
Also we are kind of afraid to make this big change.
So we are waiting for your feedback on the new weather forecast quality.
