Well now isn't this nice. From the land of #WeatherApps #WXApps for the #iPhone the new #AcmeWeather from the people who formerly brought us Dark Sky is performing well. It's #Accessible and just gave me a timely next hour precipitation alert before any of my other current apps.

From AP News.com: What weather apps sometimes miss about dangerous winter storm conditions
-
Okay. I'm needing suggestions for a good indie Android weather app. Before anyone goes crazy, it's for my second phone. 😀

Many who know me know that I have a thing for #WeatherApps. I have many for various reasons. For instance, the #StormShieldApp for #iOS I have solely for its lightning alerts which cost $0.99 a month. They were reliable and thus I kept the app even though it was by and large an #Inaccessible mess when using #VoiceOver. However, now the price is about to rise to $4.99 a month and they gave users or at least this user less than a month's notice. So it's buh bye to this one. It makes me even more grateful to the developer of #WeatherGods not only for his implementation and offering of a subscription that includes Lightning alerts but also for his commitment to #Accessibility throughout the whole of his app. So, if lightning alerts are important to you, you might wish to consider supporting Weather Gods and its developer. I have no afiliation beyond being a happy user.

So, since I was having this chat with friends about extended forecasts in #WeatherApps #WXApps it gave me a chance to revisit some in my current rotation and some who've lost their standing to be so. I'm glad to report that the #Wunderground app has decent #Accessibility when using #VoiceOver. By contrast The #WeatherChannel app has degraded as their daily forecasts don't read well at all. And the worst offender is still #WeatherBug which used to be a very #Accessible app but now hardly anything on the screen reads well with #Voiceover at all. Shameful really because it used to be such a good app.

Reading Time: 2 minutes
For five years it was sunny almost every day in Switzerland. It was sunny so often that the water tables declined and village fountains dried up, as did fields. Clouds of dust could be seen rising when tractors worked the fields. It’s because of this excellent weather, for years in a row, that I stopped looking at weather apps.
Now, weather is interesting again. Two or three weeks ago Geneva flooded. A few days ago Zermatt flooded, and, now Morges has flooded too. So many places are flooding. This is due to weather weirding on one side, but also climate change on the other. With more heat the clouds can store more water, and when they meet a cold front a deluge may ensue.
The other issue is that villages are replacing villas with apartment buildings. Where there was grass, and gardens, and trees, you have tarmac and cement. The result is that water can no longer drain into the soil. It runs down hill until it finds basements, garages and other places.
it flooded the streets of Morges yesterday, and parkings in Geneva a few weeks ago, and the streets of Zermatt just a few days ago. Because of the droughts people forgot that water needs to be able to flee, to go into empty fields, and rivers, and gardens.
A tree captures water before it hits the ground. A few weeks ago I was hiking in a forest and the trees kept us dry. It might have been raining but the leaf canopy kept us dry.
If you remove trees you increase not only the speed with which rain hits the ground but also the speed at which it runs off from the ground. That runoff looks like nothing higher up but once it hits Morges, or Geneva, it floods.
Gardens with trees also help to slow down the flow of water. A garden can absorb rain, and if it can’t absord it then puddles form. Trees suck up some of that moisture and store it. The rain might be heavy but it has plenty of places where it can be buffered.
In contrast, as villages replace every green space in villages with apartments and tarmac parkings, so the opportunity for rain to flee, to be absorbed is gone. That’s when flooding occurs. That’s when underground parkings and ground floors flood.
## And Finally
Although it is frustrating to have rain forecast for every weekend this summer it is nice to see how nature is thriving, thanks to the rain. For years nature was on survival mode. I noticed that the dirt under an underpass has now been replaced with nature thriving. Nature has really benefitted from all the rain that has fallen this year.

One of my favourite Android weather apps has been forked!
Breezy Weather is a fork of Geometric Weather and it is just as good as I remember, if not better!

Thunderstorm watch
I’m initiating Thunderstorm watch for this afternoon. BBC app says 40% 14.00 - 16.00h but the other weather app says no chance. On past performance that means we stay completely dry!
We shall see

I wrote a blog post about how I still can't believe that I wrote a weather app and how it made me a better developer.

I learned so much about weather building a weather app. @malin and @kaidombrowski gave me a heads up that in some parts of the world for a period of time there are days where there is no sunrise. @PleaseDontRain would have shown a happy sun on those days. Now I handle them!

This Your Local Weather app from F-Droid just sucks.
After asking for all kinds of permissions, it won't show me any data! 😭
