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.

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".

The image displays a weather forecast for Nieuw Amsterdam, Suriname, presented in a terminal window. The forecast is divided into four sections, each representing a different day: Tuesday, September 23, Wednesday, September 24, and Thursday, September 25. Each day is further divided into four time periods: Morning, Noon, Evening, and Night. The forecast includes weather conditions, temperature ranges, wind speeds, and precipitation amounts for each time period. The background of the terminal window features a dark sky with clouds, and the text is color-coded to indicate different weather conditions, with sunny days in green, cloudy days in blue, and thunderous outbreaks in red. The terminal also shows the current weather conditions, including temperature, wind speed, and precipitation, with a curl command at the top indicating the data source.

This gorgeous photograph was just presented to me by my weather program

Of course the credits go to the photographer who was a Lucky enough to capture this beautiful moment in sunset 🌇. The name is in the image

Weather is also natively given to us in the Fediverse by @admin who often adds countries by the week; jump to see if yours is in The Matrix already. Many are included and the work is a lot to do, yet @stefano does this for us all in his free time.

Shoutout to #FediMeteo @admin and @stefano for the #RSS and #ActivityPub #federated #weather service. Finally, a reliable weather tool across platforms.

A week or so ago I reached out and they added my community. Every time the new weather report post or RSS feed comes through, I appreciate it so much.

Thanks again! #WX #Fediverse

The more technical self-hosters out there may be interested in this blog post about how @stefano created a global Fediverse weather service using a €4 VPS:

When people first started joining the Fediverse in large numbers, a lot of them asked "Where are the weather accounts?"

If you're one of those people, please check out the FediMeteo project at:

➡️ https://fedimeteo.com

It has weather forecast accounts for cities and towns across almost all of Europe and North America, plus Australia, New Zealand and Japan.

To follow an account, click on a town or city, then copy-paste its address into the search box in Mastodon etc.

On this first milestone, I want to thank everyone for embracing my idea so enthusiastically. And we're just getting started!
