    @admin hello there! 😁
    First of all, thanks for the hard work making all the weather bots!
    I have a question.
    Is it possible to add another city in the Netherlands to the list?
    I'm currently following @s_hertogenbosch but I'm closer to Oss, and I thought that Oss would be just a bit more accurate for my location.
    No worries if it's not a possibility, and no rush if it can be one... Just really appreciate the bot with the updates! 😁

      I've just updated the Fedimeteo code! From the next update, you'll have wind forecasts for the coming hours and also for the upcoming days.
      Additionally, there have been some underlying changes to prepare for new features... but this one is still under development for now! 😊

        I'm working on extending FediMeteo.
        There's still some work left to cover all of Europe, but I'm already looking beyond...stay tuned!

                Lovely to see!

                Though there is a spelling mistake in ‘Hjøerrng’ – it should be ‘Hjørring’ (the handle @hjorring works just fine).

                Some of the other Danish place names are also missing their diacritics. I'd be happy to provide a list, if you'd like 😊

                  @admin @hjorring @hirtshals @skagen

                  It's not too many, so here's the list:

                  Copenhagen – København. The english name is of course very well known, so the handle and the account name can stay as ‘Copenhagen’, but within the Danish text ‘København’ would be more natural.

                  Sonderborg – Sønderborg
                  Naestved – Næstved
                  Norresundby – Nørresundby
                  Hillerod – Hillerød
                  Koge – Køge

                  And I'm confused about @orhus . It might be a doublet of @aarhus (which uses the correct Danish spelling).

                              This is the FediMeteo VPS's LibreNMS CPU graph.

                              A significant spike occurs in the early afternoon, where the activity level reaches nearly 100, marking a sharp increase in activity. This spike coincides with the announcement by @FediFollows of new cities. Throughout most of the day, activity levels fluctuate between 10 and 40, with some peaks reaching up to 50 at different times. Notably, some of these levels coincide with backup operations. Early morning and late evening hours show lower activity levels, generally ranging between 10 and 20. The graph clearly highlights the midday burst of activity, followed by a return to more moderate levels throughout the rest of the day.

                              The screenshot displays a time-series graph from the FediMeteo VPS (by LibreNMS), tracking activity levels over a 24-hour period. The x-axis represents time, and the y-axis shows the CPU level, ranging from 0 to 100. The graph consists of orange bars indicating the intensity of the activity.

                                Some technical details for those interested:
                                The entire FediMeteo setup runs on a FreeBSD VM costing around 4 euros per month. It supports almost all major EU countries (plus the UK), with just a few left to complete. Currently, there are 25 separate jails, each running its own instance of snac, totaling 25 instances. The VM load typically stays around 10%, which increases to 30% when updates are published for countries with larger numbers of cities (currently Germany and Italy). The only time the load spikes is when new countries are announced; during that time, all remote instances connect to all cities to download their details.
                                As for RAM usage, excluding the ZFS cache, it's currently a total of 213 MB. Yes, MB.

                                      Thanks to my wife's collaboration, many of the German, Austrian, Swiss, French, and Spanish cities have now "recovered" the special characters (umlauts, accents, etc.). There's still a lot of work to do, but one step at a time...

                                              The last commit introduced a problem with some weather conditions. I'm going to fix it ASAP.

                                                I've just updated all the bots. Main changes:

                                                - At night, the sun emoji will no longer appear, but the moon emoji will. Seeing 'Sunny' during nighttime was weird.
                                                - Added precipitation probabilities, in percentage. Sometimes this parameter is more important than the quantity.
                                                - Other code fixes.

                                                In the coming days, I will completely reorganize the code since, as of now, it is not very adaptable across different languages (one program per language). The goal is to have a single program that can post in multiple languages, localized

                                                  From now on, all weather forecast posts for all cities will be sent as "quiet public" (or "unlisted"). This may change in the future, but for now, let's see how it goes.

                                                    Thanks to the latest change made by the snac developer, it is now possible to publish weather updates as "quiet public" instead of "public." As suggested by a user, the current setup fills the remote timelines of instances with all weather updates. I was planning to make the change tomorrow, but I would appreciate your opinion on this. Thank you!

                                                      @admin If you do make them all "quiet public", then maybe you could at least keep the capital cities of each country as fully public. If that's possible to do. This would still aid discovery, to some degree, of the service via the federated feed of instances without filling them.
