I have seriously been searching for something like this for years. Thank you for building it. Accuweather, Weather.com, and Weather Underground all have bloated, worthless interfaces that make me cry.

You might also like WeatherSpark. It's a similar concept. Stormia has a live wind map, which is super cool, but WeatherSpark has a bunch of other graphs that you can look at (like humidity, cloud cover, and a bunch of others).

Yes. Weather spark. The guys who wrote it are super chill and I love their product. I love looking at the averages they have before I plan a vacation and the great way they integrate historical information with forecasts into a time series has tons of information that I love.

This one is great too! Thanks!

I'll give you non-worthness. Stormia is still extremely bloated compared to Accuweather (which works without JS) and nothing can hold a candle to the efficiency of "telnet rainmaker.wunderground.com"

You'll probably like forecast.io as well.

It's not quite 8PM on a March evening here and the forecast says "Next 1H: Sunshine, Next 3H: Sunshine".

Clear is not the same as sunny. Especially at night.

Sadly, central Oregon is not served well by NOAA radar:

Cities are pretty messed up when clicking around - for example my home town of Livermore CA is nearly impossible to find as most of the region comes up as various formerly unincorporated towns that haven't existed for decades. Ex, Ulmar and Trevarno...

My zip code shows up as 'Austin, CA' when I searched 78701 which is Austin, TX.

Similarly, mine shows 'Oakland, PA' when I search for 94612 which is Oakland, CA.

Thanks, should work now!

Hmm, doesn't seem to load for me in Google Chrome. Just hangs for a long time.

Works for me in Chrome on Windows + OSX + Ubuntu. Have you tried turning it off and on again?

What OS/Browser are you on?

I use Dark Sky on the iPhone which gives me similar data and alerts.

But I have to say I really like the game/fun UX/UI feeling of your site.

Very cool.

Every time I move location it adds another history item :(, so backing back out to HN is like dozen backspaces if you drag it around a lot.

Re:Show HN: Stormia – 2mi precision live rain radar and stor... by timedivers on Friday March 11, 2016 @06:33PM (#11270374)
Thanks for the hint! Should be fixed in a minute.

It's neat, I guess, but it's really no different to Dark Sky, Forecast.io, RainToday, etc. and so on.
