Hi,
I really miss the old version of the website "weatherspark" It had an absolutely fantastic weather dashboard.
It was a old google-finance-like graph that you could scroll, to zoom in and out to increase the timescale, or left to right to shift the date at the center of the graph.
The lines on the graph shows, current temperature, historical temperature and prediction temperature.
There were bands around the temperature that would indicate temperature averages and records for the date period on screen.
If there were precipitations, it would show as another line the amounts.
In that simple graph you could get the sense of the local weather, what it's been and what it will be, this week, this month or 25 years ago with just your mouse.
With all the weather data being collected by government and available on public APIs, is there any open source self-hosted software that has an effective interactive data visualization user interface as weather spark of old ?
Here is what it looked like, all in a single graph with NO pageloads !
I"m seeing these options
https://weewx.com/showcase.html https://open-meteo.com/ https://meteostat.net/en/
But it's many many clicks before you see your data.
And then the data looks like this
Static, non-interactive, no data context
Really complex and unintuitive interface that give you data, one static plot at a time
Not self hosted, but I use Windy for general weather predictions, it has some graphs if you click on a city.
If you love graphs meteo.pl has some nice graphs, but they are static, and only for Poland and neighbouring countries. Click meteogram on the top left and zoom in, than click on a red dot. E.g. this is for this week for Warsaw:

Ok, I had a look at windy, but it doesn't seem possible to self-host Their github repo has a lot of stuff, but no web frontend https://github.com/orgs/windycom/
As for meteo.pl, they seem to use rrdtool to generate the graph, but like windy, they graphs are static, no scrolling or putting cursor on the graph to get exact values. Also, meteo.pl doesn't seem to have any software repository ? It is just a private commercial website ? There doesn't seem to be something to self-host ?
