Weather Forecasts for Switzerland

I'm looking forward to test your new app when it's ready. Thanks for good work.

Verry nice app/UI. Have you tried implementing yr.no api?

I've been working on generalizing the app using yr's api but that's not ready for publication.

It would become a separate app anyway, because in Switzerland, the official forecasts are more accurate than what yr provides.

Merci ;-)

Excellent, and my problem is solved too!

Tue, 2020/06/16 - 16:16

Ah, I'm glad to hear that :).

There was a small change in the external API in the last few days. Sadly, there is no simple fix due to limitations of the QML engine. Bringing this app back to life will require either a new C++ backend to handle network access or using a different API.

I am working on it. You can use the official MeteoSwiss app for Android until I found a way to make things work again. It is available from the Android store, though it includes tracking (Google, Piwik, ...). And of course MeeCast and Jolla's weather app...

Everything should be working again with the new update 1.3.0.

Does not fetch data anymore. Is it a known bug or is it me (well, my phone)?

Mon, 2020/05/11 - 16:38

You can try to force-refresh by opening the details page and selecting "Reload data" in the top pulley. Calling "Refresh" from the overview page only refreshes once per hour.

Sometimes some data points are missing and the app disables the graph rather than giving wrong information. I just checked Basel (4001) and everything works fine. Which zip code (PLZ) are you using?

Mon, 2020/05/11 - 23:40

Whatever the position (I just tried with Basel - 4001), it keeps saying Loading... and that's all.

Edit: I just tried to uninstall the app and reinstalling it, but I cannot uninstall. Will RTFM to do it with the terminal.

Edit II: I removed and reinstalled the app, no chance. I tried several locations, no one is fetching the data.

Thanks for your help.

Version 1.3.0 changed to use the official app's API. Maybe this fixes your problem?

Also, you should try deleting the folder /home/nemo/.local/share/harbour-meteoswiss (e.g. using the file browser). Afterwards, you will have to re-add all your locations. This should fix it if the database was corrupted somehow.

Good, will try this if the problem occurs again.

Thanks a lot for this really amazing Sailfish OS port of MeteoSwiss. Very beautiful and impressive app.

Thu, 2019/12/12 - 15:30

I'm quite glad that you like my app :). As I said earlier in the comments, I started working on a new version supporting more data providers. Sadly, it needs more time than I currently have, though.

I want a weather app like this for Europe & UK. :(

Beste Wetter App ever. Vielen Dank an den Entwickler.

Wed, 2019/09/04 - 23:03

Simply beautiful!

A small request: to be able to choose the language of the information coming from MeteoSwiss. I guess there is French and Italian in addition to German.

Thu, 2019/09/05 - 12:18

check out the update :)

Thu, 2019/09/05 - 18:23

Wow, that was quick! Many thanks.

This app just looks marvelous. A shame that we here in Germany hv'ing this hanky penky with wetteronline against DWD.

Wed, 2019/09/04 - 13:22

Actually, I started working on a generalized version which uses different weather data providers. It needs a lot of time, though, which I don't have at the moment. (My plan is to make it a bit like Meecast but I like my GUI more ;).)

Thank you, this is great!

Does MeteoSwiss provide a public api, or you took a different path? Also, do you think that having precipitation clouds information is viable?

Wed, 2019/09/04 - 13:20

They have an undocumented api that I use.

Uhm, what do you mean by "precipitation clouds information"? As far as I know, the only things missing are warnings and the weather map. Things like clouds percentage etc. are not available from the source...

Interesting, well done! With precipitation clouds, I mean the information MeteoSwiss give on their website in the "Precipitation" tab (in the english version, of course). In there, you have timestamped images showing the actual precipitation clouds on a map.

Anyway, your app is absolutely useful even without that information.
