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.

Thank you!
@stefano @fae2535 Nice work. I run my own weather station using https://weewx.com (open source sw) on Linux on a raspberry pi. Recently came across and enjoyed your BSD advocacy (been running TrueNAS on an HP NL54 for 10 years w zero downtime - power outages only; and pfsense on a Qotom mini PC). You may have inspired me to try FreeBSD (on an old ThinkCentre PC) just because it's so long since I last did so. 👍
@[email protected] @[email protected] that would be a nice test. Let us know how it will turn out!
