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.

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

@[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 5 days ago

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

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

@stefano no worries. Are you planning a service for Belgium as well?

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

@[email protected] very nice! Can you add Brazil (São Paulo)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

@fanden yes, they'll be coming quite soon. I'm trying to evaluate if I need another/more powerful VM 🙂

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

@[email protected] Cool project! Thank you so much. 🤩

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

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

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

@[email protected] Molto Interessante! è possibile aggiungere Senigallia e Fano in Italia?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

@[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]

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (4 children)

@stefano @fae2535 Thank you for adding Ireland! Is there any chance it could have an English option as well? Most people here don’t speak or understand Irish (Gaelic).

@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], 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 5 days ago

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

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

@[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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (2 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 5 days ago

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