Do you want to follow a weather account for your town or city?
There is a Fediverse weather service called FediMeteo which has weather accounts for thousands of locations around the world:
To follow a weather account:
1. Go to https://fedimeteo.com
2. Go to the page for the town/city you want
3. Copy-paste the page's address into the search box in Mastodon etc
4. Click "Follow"
You can also follow updates about the FediMeteo project itself at @admin
@FediFollows @admin I wonder if it's possible to add in English instead 馃
@FediFollows @admin I have a question for all weather app producers. They all offer a choice between C or F, but I have never been able to find one that displays both at the sane time, C/F.. Why is that?
@FediFollows @admin I'm the first follower for Champaign, Illinois!!!
I would not describe every 6 hours as realtime.
I looked up my area (Central Coast, NSW Australia), and noticed a 1 day date discrepancy.
Current date is 03-Dec-2025, but fedimeteo reports 2025-12-02
Just a friendly reminder to make sure your follow is private, lest your "follows" list give away your location! Unless you want folks to know that, you do you 鉁岋笍
Not actually sure how to change the visibility of follows, since the feature appears to be missing from the Android app. Maybe it's a desktop feature? I just see that it's possible from looking at other people's profiles.
I tried, but the closest place I can find is 90 minutes away. They don't cover rural areas. The link that goes to the one nesrest my area has no posts. Oh well.....
@FediFollows @admin wonderful I added shortcut on browser so I can check weather update! Thank you!
@FediFollows @admin as the first birthday of the project is approaching, it's probably time to add some more new countries.
@FediFollows @admin thank you for mentioning FediMeteo!
p.s. If your town or city is missing, you can ask if it can added to FediMeteo by contacting @admin or @stefano
p.p.s. If an account looks blank or old, don't worry! Just follow it anyway and the weather posts will start showing up within 6 hours. (This happens if you are the first person to follow an account from your server, more info at https://fedi.tips/why-does-someones-account-page-look-completely-blank-is-it-really-blank)
@FediFollows @admin @stefano For Brussels the interleaving of French and Dutch in the same line is a little clunky.
I'd suggest either
a) having an entire report in one language, followed by a ========== divider line, followed by the other language,
or b) doubling up the feed into @bruxelles (fr) and @brussel@be.fedimeteo.com (nl).
Otherwise, thanks for implementing this!
@FediFollows @admin @stefano the project is wrongly assuming that there's only one language spoken in a given country. Is there a plan to fix that?
They do have multiple languages for some countries (for example Canada). If there's a language problem let them know.
@FediFollows right, I missed that, personally it seems suboptimal to have a post in two languages, I'd expect two different accounts one per language.
Is this the weather in the fediverse or ...?
