Announcing FediMeteo – Weather in the Fediverse!
Weather has always influenced our lives: from agriculture to outdoor activities, to extreme events that, thanks to modern technology, can now be predicted with greater reliability. Personally, weather plays a significant role in my daily decisions, which is why I decided to create a service tailored for the Fediverse.
FediMeteo uses Open-Meteo data to publish updates every 6 hours, including current weather conditions, forecasts for the next 12 hours, and predictions for the upcoming days. Each country is served by its own dedicated instance (e.g., it.fedimeteo.com for Italy), managed through snac to ensure simplicity and efficiency in publishing.
You can follow FediMeteo directly in the Fediverse (on Mastodon and compatible platforms), via RSS, or by visiting the dedicated page for your city (e.g., fr.fedimeteo.com/paris).
Currently supported countries include:
Austria, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands – with many more regions coming soon!
FediMeteo is hosted on a FreeBSD-based VPS, with each country isolated in its own jail to ensure security and scalability.
Visit the main site to explore the national instances and start following your local weather updates today:

Happy weather monitoring to all! 🌦️
FediMeteo is dedicated to my grandfather, who every evening would give me the weather forecast based on TV, radio, and his personal experience. He would convince me that the weather would be bad, so he had an excuse to accompany me to school instead of me going alone.

Would it be possible for this to support platforms like Lemmy so they too would be able to get the updates as communities/groups?@stefano @admin Dedication for grandpa means a lot. I guess many, many of us have anecdotes about relationships with grandparents. They play a key role in constructing ourselves. Different from parents, but often a key role. I had a special relationship with one of my grandmas. She made me feel like I was special and important too, and would take me with her during her (short) 1day bus journeys in the country with her aged friends. She was important. Will not forget her and what she meant to express about me.
@[email protected] @[email protected] Thank you for sharing your story. I spent a lot of time with my grandparents when I was a kid/teenager. Then, I grew up and moved away. In their later years, I didn’t call them often. It was some sort of self-protection, as I had assumed they could live forever. Now, I blame myself for that one call I could have made - but didn’t.
@[email protected] @[email protected] I’ll tell you something : we all surely have done the same, putting our interests in our own life which is to be constructed, putting focus on studies, work, loved ones, and then realizing we should have had much more time with them when then were with us.
This is common, yet it’s a hard feeling. They also may have done the same during their own youth.
To quote a song from Joe Cocker “every generation has its way, a need to disobey”. Song is titled “n’oubliez jamais” if remembered correctly.
Yep, here it is :
@[email protected] @[email protected] Come to Brazil!
@[email protected] @[email protected] sure, Brasil will eventually be supported

-

-

@[email protected] @[email protected] the admin account is a good move. Especially if it stops my phone pinging every time you update this post 😉
@[email protected] @[email protected] that’s the main reason why I created it. I didn’t want to spam people (and almost DoS the BSD Cafe) with the updates 😉
@[email protected] Oh, that’s cool. Add Bergen, Norway to the list of suggestions :)
@[email protected] Sure, I’m extending the support. Norway will be created in the coming days
@[email protected] Hey this is great and I would like to try it! Could you please add Finland? These are the cities with min. 100k population:
Helsinki
Espoo
Tampere
Vantaa
Oulu
Turku
Jyväskylä
Lahti
Kuopio@[email protected] Finland is coming - as Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, etc.
@[email protected] what a cool project, congrats on the release!
@[email protected]
I want to ask for Santiago de Compostela, capital of the Autonomous Community of Galicia. Thank you! Great project!!@[email protected]
Sorry, just adding this here as I can’t figure another way to just follow it
@[email protected]@[email protected] Non è possibile fare in modo che sia l’utente a scrivere il nome della città? io abito in un paese
@[email protected] Needs more Canada. 🙃
@[email protected] Any plans to add the US at some point? I miss getting all my weather from the bird site and have been attempting to reproduce something similar here on Mastodon.
@[email protected] yes, I’m planning to set a new VPS in your continent, so it will have less latency. I’m planning to test and complete Europe in the coming days, then I’ll probably start with your continent
@[email protected] I am a laid off Sys Admin and self described weather nerd if you need help with testing or anything else.
@[email protected] thank you! Bookmarking your post
@[email protected] Very nice, just strange to see that it’s going to be sunny in Leiden in the middle of the night 😉!
@[email protected] Yes, the bot considers ‘sunny’ when it’s ‘clear.’ Well, let’s put it this way: if it were daytime, it would have been sunny 😆
