One thing I didn't know about the beautiful FediMeteo service is, that it is running on a fantastically low budget ENV that looks like it runs from a Server Park that has more than 60.000 of those servers purring along.
This is all that I shall default from the podcast you're smart and you're curious just like me so you will find the podcast yourself I will not put any links and then you will download it listen to it learn and enjoy
Important note regarding FediMeteo
Please realize that all that work is done by one person one programmer in his free time. Do not get impatient or discouraged in any way shape or from if your country, your City has not been added yet
The work is much larger than you think, and your vision of how much it is, most likely is much lower, when you don't even know how to write a single line of code in any modern or ancient programming language
Just be patient and use something else in the meantime
I use the following
curl wttr.in
screensaver {parameters}
That way you still have your weather until Stefano is ready for your town

Hello le verse français #FrenchFediverse vous connaissez #FediMeteo ? En s'abonnant à un compte d'une ville, toutes les 6 heures vous aurez la météo de la ville demandée (si elle est dans la liste). Par exemple pour #Strasbourg il faut suivre @strasbourg bonne journée
Cool, #FediMeteo kannte ich noch gar nicht!
One of the things I've often worried about is latency. Both for FediMeteo and the BSD Cafe, I've always wondered how high the latency might be around the world, but no one has ever complained.
Now I can check from Canada, and the difference is really minimal - so low it's almost imperceptible. I still think about the wait times for web pages back in the old 56k days... 😆
@stefano FediMeteo is a sublime project Stefano
Thank you 💕 for providing us with this powerful & wonderful service right here in the FediVerse
It is a **gargantuan** project given the amount of countries involved, but eventually everyone will be able to see their weather right here
Hey everyone heading to #BSDCan next week: Don't forget you can keep up with the weather and forecasts on FediMeteo! Just follow @ottawa__ontario , and you'll get all the important info every six hours.

Canadian friends on the #Fediverse
With the weather shifting so much these days, it might be useful to get your local forecast right in your timeline! 🌦️
#FediMeteo (https://fedimeteo.com) is a project that processes data from #OpenMeteo and publishes it—country by country, city by city—on the Fediverse, on each city’s web page, and also via RSS.
Every 6 hours, a friendly bot updates and shares the latest weather data.
📌 How does it work?
➡️ Follow your city's page on the Fediverse.
➡️ If you don’t see forecasts yet, it likely means no one’s following that city.
➡️ Start following it, and you'll receive the updates in the next cycle!
🔗 Here's the link for Canada and the list of cities currently available.
🌍 Decentralised, open-source weather forecasts on the Fediverse! 🌱
Amis canadiens du #Fediverse
Avec ce temps changeant, il peut être pratique de recevoir les prévisions météo directement dans votre fil d’actualités ! 🌦️
#FediMeteo (https://fedimeteo.com) est un projet qui traite les données de #OpenMeteo et les publie — pays par pays, ville par ville — dans le Fediverse, sur la page web de chaque ville et aussi via RSS.
Toutes les 6 heures, un petit bot sympathique met à jour et publie les données météo les plus récentes.
📌 Comment ça marche ?
➡️ Suivez la page de votre ville dans le Fediverse.
➡️ Si vous ne voyez pas encore de prévisions, c’est probablement que personne ne suit encore cette ville.
➡️ Commencez à la suivre et vous recevrez les prochaines prévisions au prochain cycle !

This gorgeous photograph was just presented to me by my weather program
Of course the credits go to the photographer who was a Lucky enough to capture this beautiful moment in sunset 🌇. The name is in the image
Weather is also natively given to us in the Fediverse by @admin who often adds countries by the week; jump to see if yours is in The Matrix already. Many are included and the work is a lot to do, yet @stefano does this for us all in his free time.
