If I remember correctly, the reasoning behind weather.premo.biz was that I wanted a wall clock in my den. I couldn't find one I liked, but I did see some that included weather features. I got to thinking, what if I made my own clock plus weather dashboard?

Initially I got in up and running using the Weather Underground API. It was good. I could pass geo data straight from the browser to WU, get city and state, then pass that back to WU to get weather data. I set up a proxy with caching, but occasionally I would go over the rate limit, so I'd get no data, so I'd have to tweak my settings.

Then one day I was getting no data again and I couldn't figure out why. So I went to the API docs and found this: End of Service for the Weather Underground API. 😿.

For a month or so I researched other options until I landed on DarkSky.net for weather and the Google Maps API to get city and state. I also updated my icons to use the same icons DarkSky uses on its own site (even though its API documentation suggests that it uses a different set of icons). So, obligatorily:
