    @FediFollows@social.growyourown.services Hi! Thanks for the heads-up.
    Yes, I'm already adapting the code to support the USA. Stay tuned!

        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.

              @karlpoe@fosstodon.org I had a look at the Open-Meteo reported data. It's consistent with the latest Vilnius update: https://lt.fedimeteo.com/vilnius/p/1736331498.357098

              Asking the raw data, here's what Open-Meteo is providing me:
              "precipitation_sum":[5.80,1.20,0.90,1.20,3.30,0.00,6.00]

              This means: 5.80 mm total rain for today - from 00:00 to 23:59. I don't know if it's correct or not, but it's what Open-Meteo is reporting. According to Open-Meteo, most of today's rain has already fallen.

                      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...

                              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.

                                  @Vibracobra23@mastodon.social this could be done. Or I could send one as public and the other 3 updated as quiet public. I'm still unsure. Thank you for the suggestion!

                                    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!

                                        Patrick told me that they appreciate the project, that we can continue, and he provided me with tools to go beyond the allowed calls.
                                        At this point, I’m fixing a few things to improve the addition of countries and cities, and... we’re moving forward!

                                              - short term (12 hours) forecasts will help commuters
                                              - long term forecasts will help people that have to plan outdoor activities

                                              The emojis will help people unable to understand the local language, the text is more precise and will also increase accessibility.

                                              That said, maybe a "more compact" version could come in the future. I'll keep this in mind and thank you for suggesting it!

                                                      - New cities from Cymru/Wales have been added to the UK: Caernarfon, Carmarthen, Holyhead, Monmouth, and St David's.
