Watchface
Description
Cryptic weather watchface, based on my "Balloons" watchface (I couldn't resist the name "Weather Balloons"). Minute balloon floating within an hour balloon - "tails" (lines) from each pointing towards the appropriate markers telling the time. Colour of hour balloon reflects day/night (based on sunrise/sunset). Choice of weather providers: OpenWeatherMap, Forecast.io or Weather Underground. As with many other weather watchfaces, you need to get a free API key from the weather provider you want to use. All give at least 500 free calls per day (far more than needed). Until API key provided, weather icon & temperature areas are blank. To get key, register at one of these: OWM: https://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_up Forecast.io: https://developer.forecast.io/register Weather Underground: https://www.wunderground.com/member/registration (select Columus Plan to get forecast info) All find weather for current latitude/longitude. Temperature appears in minute balloon (Farenheit or Celcius), weather icon within hour balloon. With Forecast.io & Weather Underground, option to present balloons with forecast for today & next 4 days on a shake of the wrist. The "tails" are in hour analog positions (0 for today, 1 for tomorrow etc). Balloons can be ordered: - Rising: Today highest, then tomorrow etc - Analog: Arranged around face in analog sequence For Quick Views, location name and forecast inhibited. Animation sequence: 2:40AM (San Francisco) 3:55PM (Shanghai) 12:30PM (London) 5 day forecast (rising) 5 day forecast (analog)
