Plain-text weather forecasts with comprehensive details
brolly.sh is a plain-text weather forecast service that presents current conditions, a 7-day outlook, and detailed hourly data in a clean, minimal format. It solves the problem of cluttered weather interfaces by focusing on essential metrics—temperature, wind, precipitation probability, UV index, air quality, and pollen levels—all without images or JavaScript. The service is aimed at anyone who wants a quick, readable forecast, especially those on slow connections, terminal users, or people who prefer text over graphics. This specific page shows the forecast for York, England, but the service works for any location.
Shows the current weather at the top of the page, including temperature, feels-like temperature, wind speed and gusts, UV index, and air quality index.
Provides a weekly overview with day names, conditions (e.g., overcast, partly cloudy), temperature ranges, average wind speed with gusts, and precipitation amounts.
Lists each hour from early morning to late evening with condition, temperature (actual and feels-like), and wind speed in mph.
Shows the chance of precipitation for each hour as a percentage, along with cumulative and peak precipitation amounts.
Plots UV levels throughout the day with a clear key (low 0–2, moderate 3–5, high 6–8, very high 9–10) and highlights the current and peak values.
Displays the AQI trend with numeric values and a qualitative scale (good, fair, etc.), showing current and forecasted peaks.
Tracks grass and mugwort pollen levels over the day using characters (dots, dashes, equals, hashes) to indicate low, medium, high, and very high, with specific numeric peaks.
The page shows current conditions, a 7-day forecast, hourly conditions, hourly precipitation probability, UV index with a graph and scale, air quality index with a graph, and pollen levels (grass and mugwort) for the day.
The UV index uses a standard scale: 0–2 low, 3–5 moderate, 6–8 high, 9–10 very high. The current value and daily peak are shown.
The AQI is shown as a numeric value with a qualitative label (e.g., 'good' for 16, 'fair' for 21). Higher numbers indicate worse air quality.
The page credits open-meteo.com as the source for weather, air quality, UV, and pollen data.
