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.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Thank you for sharing your story. I spent a lot of time with my grandparents when I was a kid/teenager. Then, I grew up and moved away. In their later years, I didn't call them often. It was some sort of self-protection, as I had assumed they could live forever. Now, I blame myself for that one call I could have made - but didn’t.
@[email protected] @[email protected] I’ll tell you something : we all surely have done the same, putting our interests in our own life which is to be constructed, putting focus on studies, work, loved ones, and then realizing we should have had much more time with them when then were with us.
This is common, yet it’s a hard feeling. They also may have done the same during their own youth.
To quote a song from Joe Cocker “every generation has its way, a need to disobey”. Song is titled “n’oubliez jamais” if remembered correctly.
Yep, here it is :
