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:
https://fedimeteo.com

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.

@stefano @admin Dedication for grandpa means a lot. I guess many, many of us have anecdotes about relationships with grandparents. They play a key role in constructing ourselves. Different from parents, but often a key role. I had a special relationship with one of my grandmas. She made me feel like I was special and important too, and would take me with her during her (short) 1day bus journeys in the country with her aged friends. She was important. Will not forget her and what she meant to express about me.

@[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] 1 points 2 months ago

@[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 :

Would it be possible for this to support platforms like Lemmy so they too would be able to get the updates as communities/groups?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

@[email protected] Added Leiden to my feed! Cool!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

@[email protected] #FediMeteo turns out to be a very interesting project with open source technologies and using the Fediverse. Thank you very much for starting 2025 with such useful and fun projects. Very nice gift.

@[email protected] How do I request a city to be added? ;- )

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

@[email protected] both, as you're lacking polando ;- )

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (3 children)

@[email protected] Poland is the first in the list of the countries I'm going to add 🙂 I'll try to add it tomorrow, let me know if you need a specific city and I'll add it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

@[email protected] Cracow is where I live :- )

@[email protected]
how can i contribute to add my country? :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

@[email protected] Sure, I'll add it 🙂

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

@[email protected] How do you follow a feed through Mastodon? I'm searching and I can't find anything. Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That's a nice addition @stefano, but old habits (from the conky days) are hard to change 😅

I run this for some cities here:

@[email protected] Very interesting service! I‘m in the unfortunate position that my city has umlauts in it: München (Munich). The profile, however, is called „Munchen“. It’s ok if the handle has an u instead of a ü but could the title be changed to the proper spelling? The German forecasts themselves contain umlauts („bewölkt“ ☁️). All good there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

@[email protected], what a fantastic project!

Can you add the city of San Cristóbal de La Laguna in Spain? It's a city with more than 150K inhabitants.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

@[email protected] thank you!
Sure, I've just added it: @san_[email protected]

@[email protected]

Can I add my country, e.g. Ireland, in particular the Dublin region?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (5 children)

@[email protected] sure. Ireland is in the next batch of countries that will be added - I think I'll proceed tomorrow

@[email protected] I'm looking forward to if/when you expand to Canada!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

@[email protected] very cool! South Africa, when you have a chance, please

@[email protected] „502 Bad Gateway“ when I click on Germany

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

@[email protected] Any timeline for adding the Scandinavian/Nordic countries? I vote (completely selfishly) to include Malmö, Sweden first 😄

@[email protected] Ooooh, nice service!

I only have a tiniest QoL suggestion: Add a button to copy the bot handles to clipboard. After I clicked through the web page to find "my" bot, it is a bit cumbersome to mark and copy the handle in order to paste it in my mastodon client (at least on mobile).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

@[email protected] that’s such a cool concept, thank you! :blackheartsparkle:

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

@[email protected] Ciao Stefano, possibile che non ci sia Roma? Trovo Biella e Frosinone ma non trovo ne Roma ne Rome... ?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

@[email protected] Yes, open meteo is awesome. I use it via my Emacs package almost daily :-)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

@[email protected]

You are awesome! Please post some information on how to do this, it's a great example of services on the Fediverse!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

@[email protected] ciao Stefano, da qui mi dà un error 502…

@[email protected] I suppose large countries are quite a scale challenge at this stage, but whenever you add Brazil, happy to help with any translation work

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

@[email protected] ok - now it shows fine so maybe traffic load 🙂

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

@[email protected] would it be possible to add Ipswich, Chelmsford and Colchester to the UK list of cities/towns?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

@[email protected] Sure I'm doing something wrong? Searched for @[email protected] but nothing is found... fwiw @aberdeen does work in uk so it must be reading specific

@[email protected] Any plans to add the US at some point? I miss getting all my weather from the bird site and have been attempting to reproduce something similar here on Mastodon.
