For me, I have API keys that I keep track of, acquire when needed. It's a one off thing.
OWM can use your coordinates which may produce better results for some. For example, I've lived where you picked a distant city for a forecast, unless you knew the local airport code. They seem to have a 7 day product in the free tier now along with the 5. They have translation and it seems to support metric or imperial per measurement. Doesn't the UK mix MPH with C? It would seem easier to move to OWM than to create and maintain all that will be needed with yr.no On Tue, Apr 7, 2020, 9:05 PM Pat <[email protected]> wrote: > I understand your point and that's why I keep flip flipping.
