But it takes a bit more thinking and interaction to understand how the weather develops. For example, I like to see how the temperature changes during the day and for that, I find a graph illustrates the hourly changes better than just numbers and colors, but the information is obviously available here too. Just requires but more thinking from the user.
Are you thinking adding other things like humidity and wind? If so, would you try to fit more information to the dial or add some popups or something else?
Having both the dial and the more common horizontal table / graph would make it the perfect weather app for me. Maybe those could be integrated into the dial, like wavy rings?
In any case, nicely done!
I have a dashboard at home that is predictible: linear, it starts at 8 in the morning, gives the weather every 3 hours until 22, then again at 8 the next day, with two data points across the day. Hours that are gone dissapear, but their slit stays.
The rationale is that weather estimation is vague and I need a general trend across that day (I take the mean around these 3 hour slots). I fon't care about the night. I loosely care about the general status for tomorrow.
The fact that the general timeline is static means that one can develop memory muscle to know what happens when.
I am always looking for ways to improve the visual but did not find do far better than this linear (visually), non-linear (time) representation
For me, this simple version is enough 80% of the time, if i ever need more details i'll find the usual sources.
