Development of this app has concluded!

OpenWeatherMap has announced that access to One Call 2.5 will be discontinued in June 2024. 
While the app is compatible with One Call 3.0, the subscription requires a credit card, 
even though no payments will be charged due to the 1000 free daily calls. 
I recommend transitioning to my Cirrus app, which utilizes data from Open-Meteo, 
as I believe it offers superior information.

RadarWeather

This application is forked from Privacy Friendly Weather (https://github.com/SecUSo/privacy-friendly-weather) a privacy friendly weather app. The original function has been modified to support the new OpenWeather One Call API, which provides a lot more features, like precipitation forecast for the next 60 minutes, hourly forecasts for the next 2 days, 8 day week forecasts, etc. In addition a rain radar functionality powered by RainViewer API (https://www.rainviewer.com/api.html) has been added. More weather categories were added, most images and icons were replaced. RadiusSearch now also shows the results on a map with weather icons. A chart showing forecasts with min/max temperature and precipitation for the next week has been added. In addition to the built in city list it is now also possible to use search-as-you-type location search via the photon API (https://photon.komoot.io) which is based on OpenStreetMap.

There are also three new widgets:

If permission for GPS is given the widget will automatically update position on a regular base.

As One Call API only allows 1000 free calls per day an own OpenWeatherMap API key is mandatory.

You need a free subscription and OneCallAPI 3.0 with a limit of 1000 (free) calls per day. OneCallAPI 2.5 has been discontinued by openWeatherMap

Please register for free account at: https://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_up

Use Cirrus instead if you do not yet have an API key.
