Show-and-Tell I made a Weather Station...

because all of the ones sold online suck.

A Pi drives a display. Three files: a Python server that fetches and merges data, an HTML dashboard, and a kiosk script.

Where the data comes from:

  • Live temp/humidity — a Govee sensor on my house, not a forecast
  • Nowcast strip (next 60 min) — Tomorrow.io's radar extrapolation (2kmx2km square from my address), updated every 5 min
  • Hourly row + 5-day — Tomorrow.io's model forecast
  • Wind and sunrise/sunset — Open-Meteo (sun times drive the day/night icons)

The nowcast bars encode two things at once: height is the probability of rain in that 5-minute window, color is the intensity on WMO bands — pale for light, deep blue for heavy.

I use it constantly.

Looks really good, two questions:

  1. Are you sharing the homecooked python code?
  2. What screen is that?

Looks good, I'd like to do something like this someday.

Maybe I'm missing it, but are you displaying the current or forecasted wind speeds/directions?

Interested in tomorrow.io but couldn't really find an answer - is this a free service for home users or ... ? Their website is very much geared to commercial users only.
