Weather Balloons
WATCHFACE • ❤️ 28
Developer: Nev Rawlins

Description

Finally produced a cryptic weather watchface, based on my "Balloons" watchface as I couldn't resist the name "Weather Balloons".

Minute balloon floating within an hour balloon - "tails" (lines) from each pointing towards the appropriate markers telling the time. Fill color of hour balloon reflects day/night (based on sunrise/sunset).

Weather providers: OpenWeatherMap, Forecast.io or Weather Underground. As with many other weather watchfaces, you need to get a free API key from the weather provider you want to use. All give at least 500 free calls per day (far more than needed). Until API key provided, weather icon & temperature areas are blank.

To get the API, register at one of these:
OWM: https://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_up
Forecast.io: https://developer.forecast.io/register
Weather Underground: https://www.wunderground.com/member/registration
(for WUnd, select Columus Plan to get forecast info)

All find the weather for current latitude/longitude.

Temperature appears in minute balloon (Farenheit/Celcius), weather icon within hour balloon.

With Forecast.io & Weather Underground, there's an option to present balloons with forecast for today & next 4 days on a shake of the wrist. The "tails" are in hour analog positions (0 for today, 1 for tomorrow etc).

Balloons can be ordered:
- Rising: Today highest, then tomorrow etc
- Analog: Arranged around the face in analog sequence

Animation sequence:
2:40AM (San Francisco)
3:55PM (Shanghai)
12:30PM (London)
5 day forecast (rising)
5 day forecast (analog)
