I wrote an extension that uses it: https://github.com/chaunceygardiner/weewx-nws
There are one-hour and twelve-hour forecasts. There are also alerts. See it in action on the 7-Day, Hourly and Alerts tabs here: https://www.paloaltoweather.com/forecast.html I presume it would be straightforward to use it in Belchertown. I do provide a sample skin to show how to incorporate it. Alas, the extension is WeeWX 4/Python 3 only, so maybe not the right thing for the Belchertown author as I believe Py2 is supported. Perhaps good for some pointers on how to use NWS forecasts and alerts. > On Sep 12, 2020, at 9:37 AM, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > > I've been doing a lot of reading about the upcoming loss of darksky and > potential replacements.
