I have just rolled out a configuration change across the entire FediMeteo network.
I've enabled remote purge propagation. Since weather forecasts have a short shelf life, there is no need for old reports to take up space on your servers.
From now on, when FediMeteo deletes local posts (usually after 14 (was 3) days), we will also send a deletion signal to the rest of the Fediverse. This helps keep your timelines clean and your storage usage low.

in a few weeks FediMeteo will turn one year old.
What better way to celebrate than by adding coverage for a few new countries?
So I’m asking you all: which country would you like to see among the next ones supported?
Tagging @FediFollows@social.growyourown.services and @FediTips@social.growyourown.services for extra visibility 😉
In the past few days FediMeteo seemed to be having some performance trouble. I dug into it and only found minor issues, until I realised the VM itself had fallen off a cliff. After several reboots it became clear that both bandwidth and I/O latency had dropped to absurd levels. I suspect the provider slapped a cap on it.
So I took the chance to move everything to another VM and provider, still at 4 euro per month. And starting today, forecasts will be delivered straight from Italy. The performance jump feels like going from a storm to clear skies.
FediMeteo’s mission goes on. More countries are coming (stay tuned!) and we will keep aiming to serve everything from a 4 euro VM. I do have powerful hardware available, but proving that the project can run on tiny resources is still part of the mission.

I’ve finally retired the old cron + sh setup for the weather bots. It served us well, but it had a major flaw: if I rebooted the server while it was posting, the job just died halfway. If the server was down during a scheduled slot, the forecast was lost forever.
So, I wrote a custom Python daemon to run inside the FreeBSD Jails.
- It’s stateful now. If a crash happens at city 15 of 50, it resumes exactly there on reboot.
- If the server naps/is rebooting during a scheduled run, the bot realizes it missed a slot and runs immediately upon waking up.

Fedimeteo: A look at the numbers
I reviewed the latest data from the Fedimeteo network to pull out some statistics.One important note before looking at these figures: these numbers only reflect direct followers on the Fediverse. They do not account for people following via RSS feeds or those who check the web pages directly. That "hidden" audience is massive but effectively impossible to calculate, so we are strictly looking at the ActivityPub follower counts here. Each country has its own FreeBSD jail.
The Heavyweights: Germany vs. USA
While usfedim (USA) holds the top spot for total numbers with 1,813 followers, defedim (Germany) is remarkably close behind with 1,597. The difference lies in the density: the German community is concentrated around just 138 cities, whereas the US network is spread across a massive 1,243 locations.
Engagement Density
If we look at the ratio of followers per city, the European instances show the highest concentration of users.
Germany** leads with roughly 11.6 followers for every city tracked.
The UK** follows with 8.7 followers per city.
Austria** sits at 7.7.
In these regions, each city feed serves a comparatively larger group of locals.
The "Quiet" Instances
On the other end of the spectrum, some instances are maintaining a lot of data for a very exclusive audience.
Malta (mtfedim)** is tracking 20 different cities but currently has only 2 followers. That is a ratio of 10 cities per follower.
Slovakia (skfedim)** tracks 30 cities for just 8 followers.
The American Scale
The sheer size of the US infrastructure is an outlier. usfedim accounts for 42.6% of all tracked cities in the entire Fedimeteo network (1,243 out of 2,918), but it holds only 23.9% of the total followers. It is by far the largest instance in terms of output, even if the user base is more spread out than in Europe.
Small but Efficient
A special mention goes to The Netherlands (`nlfedim`). With only 36 cities tracked, they have managed to gather 233 followers, making it one of the most efficient instances in terms of community interest relative to the number of locations tracked.

As the great @FediFollows@social.growyourown.services posted about this service, many of you started following me and the cities. And I'm so glad about it!
If you want to know something more about FediMeteo and its story (and how all this is still working on a 4 euro/month VPS powered by #FreeBSD), you can have a look here:

It's amazing how much energy has been injected into the FediMeteo project by @stefano
I've just surfed to the page and saw this enormous amount of Cities which are now covered
Two Thousand nine hundred and eight cities!
Yes you've read that right 2908 cities.
In order to get a city up and running in the system there's a significant amount of code that Stefano needs to add to the system. He has of course written everything in a modular and scalable manner, but that does not make the work any less.
We should all be thankful for this work that is done so that people from thousands and thousands of cities can see their weather right in the FediVerse.
If your city has not been covered yet, just be patient, like me. Realize how much work Stefano does in his free time in an OpenSource manner.

The image is a promotional graphic for a weather service called "FediMeteo". The graphic includes a series of colored icons representing different weather conditions: a sun, a cloud with rain, a cloud with snow, and a warning symbol resembling a hurricane or storm. Below the icons, there's text stating "FediMeteo" and "Get started today!". There's also a call to action: "Visit our website to find your city". The text continues with "Get forecasts for 208 cities across 38 countries, delivered right to your timeline". It includes a reminder to "Follow your city's account." Finally, it offers a way to "Enjoy weather updates." There's a website address listed: "https://fedimeteo.com".

Hello Fedi friends!
My child and I arrived in Italy yesterday to spend all of July at my parents' 🇮🇹
What's the first thing I did this morning? Following @milano to have weather forecasts here in my feed.
Special thanks to @stefano for creating this incredible project.
For those of you not familiar with #FediMeteo, it covers 2893 cities in 38 countries. All powered by a 4€/month VPS with #snac and #freeBSD:
Grazie Stefano! 🙏✨🏆
