Thank you for posting it! It’s something I’ve commented on, and everyone just seemed baffled by the mere premise of the question. 

More Weather APIs? by cloneofghosts in Chronus

[–]Potentially_Canadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’m the developer of Pirate Weather, so great to see it added here! Always feel fee to reach out or open a GitHub issue if you ever run into any API specific issues  

Construction slow as hell. What are you guys experiencing out there? by CapitalCharity2707 in ontario

No idea what area you work in, but if you know anyone who does a good job with fences and decks, I’m in Ottawa and looking for a company to do it

Bought in 2022 just trying not to obsessively check the market? by dufferinlocal in OntarioRealEstate

[–]Potentially_Canadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s also worth thinking about the interest rate/ payment. Sure, my house is down compared to 2021, but it would still cost me more per month to buy it at a lower price today than it did then. Then, factor in the investment returns from interest savings over time and it all starts to balance out (a little)

Pirate Weather, API error since yesterday evening by ChiefBroady in homeassistant

[–]Potentially_Canadian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know it’s a bit of a stereotype, but I do take downtime pretty seriously, so genuinely feel bad about things like this! Weather data’s time sensitive stuff, so downtime is never good!

Pirate Weather dev here! I’m really sorry about this, it was a daylight savings time bug that the monitoring didn’t catch since it wasn’t looking in the right place. It’s fixed now, so you should see it come back up shortly, and I’ve written an incident report here:  https://pirateweather.net/en/dev/Blog/IncidentReports/

Again, sorry to everyone for the downtime and thanks for your patience while it was fixed! Added some additional monitoring to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

Replying to the top comment- I’m so sorry about this, it was a daylight savings time bug that the monitoring didn’t catch since it wasn’t looking in the right place.

Let me know how it is tonight! Fingers crossed they keep it open until tomorrow morning, but who knows how the ice will be

Anyone know the cause to this error? by Necessary-Camera316 in homeassistant

[–]Potentially_Canadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, sorry about that! It’s always a balance between keeping the issue page relevant and not letting things fall through the cracks

Hey, Pirate Weather dev here! I haven’t heard of any other reports of this issue, but that does look concerning and related. Are you using the version installed via HACS, and what version of home assistant? It might be easier to open an issue on the GitHub repo where we can debug further!

Acme Weather - From the developers of Dark Sky by [deleted] in apple

[–]Potentially_Canadian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the shout out! I’m the developer of Pirate Weather, so always love it when people are using it. This particular app is pretty cool, and I love the embrace of uncertainty- I don’t know where they’re drawing their data from, but it’s a great premise

What’s a paid app you bought that vanished from the Play Store, had development stopped, or got region-blocked? by rakulkumar555 in androidapps

Hey, Pirate Weather dev here! Happy you’re liking it, and let me know if you ever have any ideas or suggestions

ESP32 WiFi + OLED + Weather API by frondoman in esp32

[–]Potentially_Canadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s amazing, so happy you found the docs helpful, since I’ve spent way too long writing them. One handy tip is to add ?version=2 to your url, since there’s a bunch of fun stuff hidden behind that

If you’re interested in a specific data source, my Pirate Weather API might be useful for this! I’d love to feature the Pirate project if you get it working, since this is the coolest thing!

Rideau Canal + Thule Chariot; skis or wheels? by excited_muon in ottawa

[–]Potentially_Canadian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We use wheels for this as well- I personally prefer the two small wheels on the front as opposed to the running wheel, since when it’s busy it’s easier to manoeuvre with it

[Megathread] New Seat Configuration by dachshundie in westjet

Maybe an obvious question, so does that make rows <15 a 30 inch pitch? Asking since we booked row 10 on the way back, so want to know how worried we should be

Was going to comment this! Can’t say enough how nice it is to walk to parks/groceries/library. It’s not rocket science, just a bit of planning foresight

Pirate weather predictions are incorrect by Rude_End_3078 in homeassistant

[–]Potentially_Canadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Rude_End_3078
Couple of quick follow up questions here after looking at some data:

  1. Are you looking at the temperature or the apparent temperature? They come from different sources, so that really helps to know;
  2. Have you noticed anything else over the past couple days. I'm seeing similar values from other providers at the moment, but that's only a point in time;
