Tiny Weather Forecast Germany vs Weather Radar
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Tiny Weather Forecast Germany
Detailed weather forecast for up to 10 days, based on open data of the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD). Weather warnings from the DWD are also displayed. The weather forecast of the desired weather station is displayed. Stations can be searched by name, by geo-coordinates or by the own location. A weather forecast is available for over 5000 weather stations in Germany and worldwide. The app has a slim design. It optionally supports wearables over Gadgetbridge, so that weather data can be displayed on wearables, too. Moreover, various possibilities exist to adapt the display of weather data to your own needs. The time of sunrise, sunset and twilight can be shown for the chosen location as well. The app also has a list of favorites, which can be used to switch fast beween multiple weather stations. It also offers multiple, differently sized widgets with a weather forecast that can be placed on the home screen and that get updated automatically.
Weather Radar
Weather Radar is an open-source application featuring doppler radar images from the United States National Weather Service. The images are single images based on location rather than tiled images that can be panned like most other applications of this type. This allows faster loading when connection speeds are sub-optimal. You can save your favorite views for easy reference. National Weather Service radar imagery is available for the United States and its territories.
