OpenWeather Dashboard: Now with 24-Hour and 7-Day Interactive Weather Graphs

The OpenWeather Dashboard now includes interactive weather maps and graphs, providing a clear, visual way to understand weather forecasts, no matter where in the world you are. This new feature gives an instant and visual view of key weather parameters.

Seamless Integration and Flexible Views

You will now find the familiar OpenWeather weather map on the Dashboard, along with graphs that display easily selectable key weather parameters. We have added a simple toggle that allows you to switch between two display modes: a 24-hour hourly forecast and a seven-day daily forecast.

The 24-hour view provides the hourly detail from the current time, ideal for monitoring short-term weather changes. The seven-day view offers a broader perspective, displaying daily high and low temperatures (Min and Max), perfect for planning activities further ahead.

Dynamic Weather Graphs: Key Data at a Glance

The weather graphs allow you to overlay temperature, wind speed and precipitation values. You can customize the display by toggling parameters on or off, or view all parameters together, focusing on the data most relevant to you.

• Temperature (Red Line): Easily track temperature changes.
• Wind Speed (Green Line): Monitor predicted wind speed variations.
• Precipitation (Blue Bar Chart): Visualize rainfall or snowfall amounts.

Interactive Exploration

The graphs are interactive. Hovering over any point on the graph reveals precise information for that specific time, including the parameter name, time, and value. This works for both line graphs and the bar chart. The graphs adjust dynamically when switching between the 24-hour and seven-day forecast views in the table, providing either high-resolution hourly detail or a broader weekly trend.

Practical Applications

• Agriculture: Farmers can use the seven-day forecast and graphs to optimize planting and harvesting schedules. The precipitation graph helps with irrigation planning, while the temperature graph assists in protecting crops from frost or extreme heat.

• Construction: Project managers can use the 24-hour and seven-day forecasts to plan work schedules, ensuring worker safety and minimizing delays due to inclement weather. Concrete pouring, for example, is highly sensitive to temperature and precipitation.

• Retail: Stores can adjust staffing and stock levels in the short term based on the combination of weather parameters. Simply wet weather may not deter customers, but when combined with high winds and cold temperatures, customers may prefer to shop from home.

The new weather graph feature and enhanced table are significant upgrades to the OpenWeather Dashboard. They provide a powerful, intuitive way to understand weather patterns and make informed decisions. We encourage you to explore these new features and see how they can improve your weather planning.
