Fortunately someone recreated a clone at https://merrysky.net, which was featured [1] on HN some time ago.

I've used it daily since.

Inspired by MerrySky: https://weather-sense.leftium.com

Some differences:

- Shows weather from yesterday for comparison

- All hourly plot trackers connected; not just the top one

- Includes AQI

- Sky color visualization (try scrubbing across dawn/dusk!)

- Non-precipitation colors approximate sky color (haziness)

- Temperature variation visualized both spatially and with colors

- Data source is Open Meteo

- Planned: 60 minutely forecast like https://openweathermap.org

It renders the information totally different. How can it be a clone?

Thanks for the mention! I'm the author of merrysky. Opened to feedback. What would you say you miss the most?

And a toast to its source, the drop-in PirateWeather API: https://pirateweather.net/

Thx bro. I stumbled into this thread thinking it was about something else, and left with a new favorite weather bookmark.

Nice things:

  - Loads fast
  - Nice vis of both today and week
  - Can mouse over the visualizations to get precise readouts.
