RadarWeather vs Weather Radar
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
RadarWeather
RadarWeather lets you watch the weather for cities and locations you are interested in. Weather data is provided via the free API from OpenWeatherMap. As the new One Call API allows only 1000 calls per day, every user must enter his own free OpenWeatherMap key (https://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_up). Data for the rain radar is retrieved via the free RainViewer API. Features: - Current weather - Hourly forecasts for 48h / 3h forecasts for 5 days - 8 day forecast - Precipitation in next 60min - Rain radar - Radius search - Widget with optional GPS auto position update - No advertisement Minimum permissions: RadarWeather only requires the minimum amount of permission, namely only the INTERNET permission. This permission is necessary to make HTTP requests to remote servers for retrieving weather data. Optional: authorization for GPS.
Weather Radar
Weather Radar is an open-source application featuring doppler radar images from the United States National Weather Service and the air quality map from AirNow. There are two radar options: an "enhanced" radar with pan and zoom capabilities and single images based on location. The single images can be faster to load when connection speeds are suboptimal. You can save your favorite views for easy reference. National Weather Service radar imagery is available for the United States and its territories.
