Concept | |
The idea is to create a simple, floss and light-weight | |
weather | |
forecast app with a focus on home screen widgets that | |
uses open data | |
from the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) and that does not | |
track the | |
users. | |
Permissions | |
The app uses the following permissions: | |
* Internet: needed to get forecast data from the DWD. | |
* Access network state: query network state before | |
getting data. | |
* foreground service: a foreground service is used to | |
reliably get the | |
forecast data. The service does not run all the time | |
but only when a | |
weather forecast update from the DWD needs to be | |
done, and it runs until | |
it is finished. | |
* Receive boot completed: the app needs to know about a | |
reboot to | |
restart periodic checks if an update is due, to | |
update widgets and to | |
send data to Gadgetbridge when enabled. | |
* Access fine location: used to determine the closest | |
weather sensors | |
to your position. This permission needs not to be | |
granted if this | |
feature is not used or if the search is performed | |
based on manually | |
entered geo-coordinates. | |
FAQ | |
For | |
locations in a different time zone the day/night icons seem | |
incorrect. | |
The app always displays the date & time of your device | |
(and | |
locale). Example: you are in Berlin and have selected the | |
weather for | |
Cuba. The app shows you the weather in Cuba at the | |
corresponding Berlin | |
time and uses the day/night-icons corresponding to the | |
Berlin time. Once | |
you have travelled to Cuba and your device switched to | |
the local time in | |
Cuba, the app will display the weather in Cuba at the | |
Cuba time. | |
How to read the widget? | |
The widget icon, the weather description and the current | |
temperature | |
refer to the weather forecast that can be expected until | |
the next full | |
hour. The low and high temperatures refer to the values | |
that can be | |
expected to occur from now to midnight. | |
When showing more days (bold widget, large widget), the | |
min and max | |
values and the weather symbol refer to the whole day. | |
Since version 0.58.0 onward, this app can display weather | |
warnings in | |
widgets. To display weather warnings in widgets, you need | |
to enable this | |
feature in the settings. When a warning is issued for | |
your chosen | |
location, the classic widget and the large widget display | |
a warning | |
symbol. The clock widget and the bold widget also display | |
a small text | |
indicating the warning category of the most severe weather | |
warning issued for your location. When there are multiple | |
warnings | |
issued, this is indicated by three dots ( ) and a plus ( | |
). You have | |
to go to the app to see them all. | |

the main app mean? | |

What do the icons shown do? | |
You may get a hint about their functionality if you just | |
long-press them. | |
Why | |
are some locations labelled DMO and show a forecast for | |
about three | |
days only? | |
Since version 0.59.4, Tiny Weather Forecast Germany also | |
includes some | |
of the DMO forecasts available from the Deutscher | |
Wetterdienst (DWD) | |
since 17.01.2023[27] in the open data. | |
DMO (Direct Model Output) locations provide forecasts | |
based | |
on the numeric ICON13 and ICON6-NEST weather forecast | |
models. | |
DMO locations usually provide a more limited data set | |
with a | |
shorter forecast period than MOSMIX stations. Since the | |
DMO | |
data is not post-processed using MOS (Model Output | |
Statistics), | |
MOSMIX stations are preferred over DMO locations. | |
Therefore, Tiny Weather Forecast Germany currently only | |
includes a | |
small subset of available DMO locations and limits it to | |
locations not already well-represented by the Mosmix | |
data. In | |
particular, DMO locations with the same name already | |
present in | |
the Mosmix data and/or within +/- 0.02 longitude and | |
latitude are | |
ignored. | |
Currently (version 0.59.4), Tiny Weather Forecast Germany | |
uses only | |
195 of the 3541 DMO locations in total, since all other | |
locations meet the criteria above having a much better | |
Mosmix forecast | |
point available instead. | |
Should you have Geographic coordinates enabled (geographic | |
coordinates of the weather station are displayed in the | |
app), | |
DMO stations are indicated by (DMO) in the app. | |
Since DMO forecasts get updated every 12 hours only, | |
periodic updates automatically get postponed should you | |
have set a | |
6-hourly update cycle and did choose a DMO location. | |
My widgets | |
don t get updated (unless I open the app). | |
The widgets get updated every 15-30 minutes. If this does | |
not happen | |
at all or only happens when you open the app, then you | |
likely have a | |
device that prefers battery life over proper | |
functionality. Likely, some | |
so-called battery saving feature kills the components of | |
the | |
app and breaks the updates. See this page[28] to check if | |
you own such | |
a device and what you can do. | |
How often | |
does the app update the weather forecast? | |
This mainly depends on your setup. In the settings, you | |
can set up | |
the update interval. This interval can be between 6 and | |
24 hours. The | |
Deutscher Wetterdienst updates the forecast data that is | |
used every 6 | |
hours for Mosmix locations (most of the locations | |
available), | |
and every 12 hours for DMO locations. Therefore, it does | |
not | |
make sense to pull weather data more frequently than | |
every 6 or 12 | |
hours, depending on your chosen location. | |
Since DMO forecasts get updated every 12 hours only, | |
periodic updates automatically get postponed should you | |
have set a | |
6-hourly update cycle and did choose a DMO location. | |
The app updates the forecast data regulary, when one of | |
the following | |
conditions is met: | |
* you placed a widget on your home screen | |
* you enabled always update in the settings | |
* you enabled Gadgetbridge support | |
A manual data update triggered by the user s selection in | |
the main | |
app always forces an update of forecast data. The | |
forecast data covers | |
the next ten days. So it is pretty feasible to present a | |
weather | |
forecast for some time without polling new data. | |
You see the last update time in the main app. Long | |
pressing | |
this text makes the app display the time the weather | |
forecast was | |
issued by the DWD. | |
When you select to automatically update every 6 hours, | |
the app tries | |
to guess when it is best to poll for new data to get in | |
sync with the | |
time the forecasts are made available by the DWD. | |
How | |
often does the GadgetBridge app gets updated (when this | |
feature is | |
enabled)? | |
When GadgetBridge support is enabled, the app will | |
update GadgetBridge approximately every 30 minutes using | |
forecast data | |
that is already in place, meaning that the DWD API will | |
not be called | |
every time to perform this task. However, on devices with | |
API 23 or | |
higher, such updates might not occur that regularly when | |
the device goes | |
in doze mode, but should be launched in the so-called | |
maintenance window , and it is difficult to say what this | |
really means | |
in manners of time. This will likely mean very different | |
things | |
depending on the device and/or ROM. | |
If you encounter problems with GadgetBridge not updating, | |
placing a | |
widget on the home screen may help, since the widget will | |
try to also | |
update GadgetBridge every time the widget itself gets | |
updated by the | |
system. | |
Why is | |
percipitation displayed in kg/m instead of mm? | |
This unit is more precise regarding solid precipitation | |
(e.g. snow). | |
Assuming rain, after some converting of units you will | |
notice that the | |
value is the same like . | |
Why | |
does the app sometimes not display sunrise und sunset? | |
Sunrise and sunset cannot be reliably calculated with the | |
formulas | |
used for latitudes < -65 and > 65 . When this is the | |
case, this | |
feature is disabled. | |
Why | |
does the app show a particular weather icon (and not an | |
other)? | |
Icons refer to significant weather conditions. The idea is | |
to show you the most important (significant) weather | |
condition that you | |
can expect to occur within the given time period. For | |
example, | |
thunderstorms have a higher priority than rain and | |
rain/fog have a | |
higher priority than clouds. If such a significant | |
weather condition is | |
likely to occur, it will be preferred over others. | |
Usually, the weather conditions are calculated by the DWD. | |
If a weather condition is not available in the forecast | |
data, the app | |
tries to calculate it from other items. If you are | |
interested how this | |
app calculates icons in this case, see here[29] | |
in the source code. | |
Thresholds for significant weather conditions are | |
subjective and | |
perhaps debatable, but weather conditions calculated by | |
the DWD have | |
priority and always remain unmodified, if available. If | |
you are | |
interested in the priorities, see this | |
DWD document[30]. | |
Why | |
does the app give a different value for some parameter | |
(e.g. temperature) than the official station reading? | |
Tiny Weather Forecast Germany gives forecasts, not the | |
current reading at some weather station. If the displayed | |
value in Tiny | |
Weather Forecast Germany differs from an official reading | |
at some spot, | |
the forecast was just off. | |
Where | |
do the names come from that are offered in searches? | |
Tiny Weather Forecast Germany uses WarncellIDs for the | |
regions offered. These are closely related to the | |
Amtlicher | |
Gemeindeschl ssel[31] (AGS) provided by destatis. | |
Basically, the | |
WarncellIDs are an extension of the AGS. WarncellIDs also | |
feature | |
human-readable names (e.g. Landkreis G ttingen ). These | |
names can be | |
used while looking for a weather station. They do not | |
refer to | |
the names of weather stations. Once you select a name the | |
app, depending | |
on your setting, automatically determine the closest | |
weather station or | |
will give you a list of close by stations including their | |
distance to | |
choose from. This distance is derived from the center of | |
the area | |
polygon(s) associated with a given region. It may happen, | |
that a | |
WarncellID has more than one search key associated. E.g. | |
searching for | |
Insel Helgoland or Gemeinde Helgoland will | |
show a list starting with Helgoland at an approximate | |
distance of 0.4 km. Hence the weather station is actually | |
just called | |
Helgoland. | |
Note more than one station will be shown if your search | |
matches a search key. These stations are sorted by | |
increasing distance | |
from the initially searched entity. E.g. searching for | |
Insel Helgoland in the above example will also show | |
Elbmuendung (a sea area next to Cuxhaven) which is 23.4 km | |
away, UFS Deutsche Bucht (an automatized weather station | |
aboard a light vessel in the middle of the German Bight) | |
already 29.3 km | |
away, or Wangerooge (one of the East Frisian islands) at a | |
distance of 29.4 km. (And of course many others even | |
further away.) If | |
Helgoland is searched however, it matches the station | |
right | |
away, and the app jumps to it immediately without a | |
further | |
selection. | |
As a rule of thumb, when a name is written in capital | |
letters | |
(e.g. BERLIN-ALEX. ), it is the weather station. All | |
other names help | |
you find the proper weather station. | |
Is | |
there a map available to choose a spot if I don t know the | |
proper names | |
in the vicinity? | |
You can use any application on your device that allows to | |
share | |
coordinates via geo:-intents to Tiny Weather Forecast | |
Germany. Most mapping and location applications will | |
allow this. | |
This also works from a web browser, provided the page in | |
question | |
offers a geo: link. geohack[32] is a common service | |
that provides such links as Geo URI (e.g. for Helgoland | |
[33]). | |
You may want to note that also Wikipedia links to this | |
service once you | |
click on the geographic coordinates in their web pages. | |
(However, they | |
do not provide a direct geo: link, yet.) | |
Why | |
does the delete icon next to the location not remove the | |
selected | |
location? | |
The delete icon works the other way around: it does not | |
remove the | |
currently displayed region but all other regions that were | |
selected at some point in the past. The idea of Tiny | |
Weather Forecast | |
Germany is centred around the idea of your usual location | |
and not so | |
much on a list of bookmarks. | |
It is also implemented this way to quickly delete a | |
presumptive | |
travel history. Think of it as a privacy feature. | |
How do I delete a location? | |
Select your new region and hit the clean button next to | |
the regions | |
title. Mind that this will clean all other regions, | |
except the | |
one currently displayed. | |
Why | |
does the app not update a location? It is in my bookmarks. | |
Tiny Weather Forecast Germany tries to be very | |
conservative with your | |
download volume. For this reason it only updates the | |
currently displayed | |
region. All other regions in the regions drop down are | |
merely places | |
once visited and do not get any updates. | |
Note the currently selected region is also the region | |
displayed in any widget added to the home screen. | |
If you want all regions from the drop down menu to get | |
updated, | |
select Update everything . | |
How | |
do I set the region to be displayed at the home screen | |
widget? | |
Just select it as current region in the app. The region | |
displayed in | |
the app and in the widget stay in sync all the time. Any | |
region change | |
in the app is reflected in the widget(s) automatically. | |
How | |
can I fetch weather for a different location if I go on | |
travel? | |
If you want to update a different location e.g. before | |
travelling, | |
select it first and update the data. (If Always update is | |
not set you may do this manually.) You can then revert to | |
your standard | |
location. Tiny Weather Forecast Germany will remove data | |
only once it | |
got invalid over time, but keep all fetched data in it s | |
internal | |
cache. | |
If you want all regions from the drop down menu to get | |
updated, | |
select Update everything . | |
Why | |
do some coloured polygons show up next to the coasts | |
sometimes? | |
Those stem from coastal or sea area warnings issued by | |
DWD in their | |
shipping forecasts. The warning areas correspond to the | |
coastal and sea | |
areas in those reports. The definitions of the sea areas | |
can be found in | |
the document Sturmwarnungen und Seewetterberichte f r die | |
Sport- und | |
K stenschifffahrt published regularly by DWD or Wetter- | |
und Warnfunk | |
updated yearly by the Bundesamt f r Seeschifffahrt und | |
Hydrographie | |
(BSH). | |
Note there is a coastal area that stretches along the Elbe | |
from Cuxhaven to Hamburg. | |
Which weather model is the | |
app using? | |
The app uses the MOSMIX model provided by Deutscher | |
Wetterdienst (DWD). The MOSMIX System of Deutscher | |
Wetterdienst | |
optimizes and interprets the computations of the | |
numerical models ICON | |
and IFS (ECMWF) and combines them to statistically | |
optimal weather | |
forecasts. (DWD). This model provides data for almost all | |
common | |
meteorological parameters and uses statistical methods to | |
derive | |
parameters not available in the numerical models. More | |
details can be | |
found at the | |
MOSMIX page at Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD)[34]. | |
Additionally, Tiny Weather Forecast Germany also includes | |
some of the | |
DMO forecast locations available. DMO (Direct Model | |
Output) locations provide forecasts based on the numeric | |
ICON13 and | |
ICON6-NEST weather forecast models. | |
Can I access | |
textual/specialized weather reports? | |
Tiny Weather Forecast Germany offers an extensive list of | |
textual | |
weather reports as provided by DWD. Those include short | |
and medium term | |
synoptic reports as well as specialized reports for the | |
coastal regions | |
of Germany, the sea weather bulletin for the North- and | |
Baltic sea and | |
the Mediterranean. Strong wind, gale and storm warnings | |
are available | |
for the German Bight, western and southern Baltic. Note | |
Keep in | |
mind that Tiny Weather Forecast Germany uses the data | |
from DWD, so some | |
textual reports are available in German only and the | |
textual reports | |
cover mainly Germany. | |
Note the textual sea and coastal weather reports coincide | |
with those published by DWD via RTTY | |
radio broadcasts[35] but are drawn from the OpenData- | |
server. | |
What | |
does wind direction Beaufort do? The wind speed still | |
displays in | |
another unit. | |
Setting the wind direction to Beaufort will display the | |
wind as in a | |
weather map with proper feathering according to the | |
Beaufort scale, but | |
it only affects the symbol used to display the wind | |
direction. To set | |
the unit used for wind speed to Beaufort use the | |
appropriate setting in | |
Wind speed . | |
Hint setting the wind speed e.g. to knots and the display | |
to | |
Beaufort might be a good way to learn the Beaufort | |
scale. | |
What | |
does the small arc next to the wind display refer to? | |
It shows the direction of the wind change during the next | |
Wind forecast period. E.g. if the wind comes from the | |
south | |
and there is a quarter of an arc to the right next to it | |
and the | |
forecast period is set to 6h the wind will veer from S to | |
E | |
in the next 6 hours. | |
When do I | |
get a notification about a weather warning? | |
First of all, you need to enable this feature in the | |
settings. | |
Second, you need to specify how often the app will update | |
the weather | |
warnings (see below). Then, you will get notifications | |
about weather | |
warnings issued for the selected location. The app will | |
not | |
check for warnings when the device is in doze mode. You | |
will | |
also get no notifications when your device is offline. | |
You may also miss | |
some notifications when you restrict the app to use | |
unmetered | |
networks only. So do not expect to get woken up in the | |
middle of the | |
night when a weather warning gets issued. | |
The notifications include weather warnings with a future | |
onset once | |
they get issued and weather warnings that are already | |
ongoing. | |
You may get weather warnings of a similiar type, e.g. | |
when gusts | |
change into a storm. | |
Once you have been notified about a warning, you will | |
also get | |
notified about an update regarding this warning. Should | |
the initial | |
warning still be visible in the notification area, it | |
will be canceled | |
in favour of the update. A notification will be also | |
canceled once the | |
warning expires. Already expired weather warnings won t | |
pop up at | |
all. | |
To remind you about a persistent weather warning, the | |
notification | |
about this weather warning will be repeated after 12 | |
hours. | |
To be kept aware about current warnings, simply don t | |
swipe them | |
away. They wil automatically disappear from your | |
notifications drawer | |
once they expire. | |
How quickly do I get a | |
weather warning? | |
In the settings, you can set up how often warnings are | |
checked. The | |
default is every 30 minutes. Please note that the | |
interval specified may | |
have quite an implact on battery drain and data volume | |
use. As a rule of | |
thumb, the warning data that gets downloaded may be about | |
300 Kb or even | |
more in size when weather conditions are heavy. | |
To get an immediate and current weather warning status, | |
go to the app | |
and hit update . | |
How do I provide a crash log? | |
Please keep in mind: device logs may include and/or | |
compromise | |
sensitive information, consider reviewing the logs before | |
sending. | |
If you pose yourself this question one can assume that | |
you don t shy | |
away from some more technical stuff. It is not enormously | |
complex, | |
though, so just read on, even though it requires you to | |
install some | |
developer tools. The idea is to provide a really detailed | |
log of what | |
Tiny Weather Forecast Germany actually did till the point | |
where it died | |
or did something unpredictable. All this is logged by | |
your device, | |
however, usually you can not see those logs. | |
The key to access those extensive logs is to hook up your | |
device to | |
your PC via USB and use a tool called Android Debug Bridge | |
(adb) to access the system log. | |
The following steps need to be done only once: | |
2. Install adb. Most Linux distributions package it. If | |
you use another operating system or it is not | |
packaged in your | |
distribution you can download it from | |

for various platforms as ZIP-files to unpack and | |
use the usual means to | |
install software there. You will also find a very | |
extensive discussion | |
of adb itself here[37]. | |
For the purposes at hand it is enough to just get | |
it installed, | |
though. | |
4. Enable the developer options on your device. | |
Extensive instructions | |
can also be found here: | |
https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev- | |
options[38]. | |
The short form: | |
2. Find the build number of your phone. | |
* Open Settings (Searching for Build number | |
might guide you directly to it) | |
* Go to System | |
* Go to About phone | |
4. Tap the Build number several times. | |
6. A dialogue informs you how many taps you are | |
a way from being a | |
developer | |
8. Keep tapping on Build number until you see | |
You Are | |
Now a Developer | |
6. Enable USB debugging in the developer options of | |
your device: | |
2. Open Settings | |
4. Search for USB debugging | |
6. Make sure it is switched on | |
After this initial setup, you are ready to access the | |
system log. | |
2. Connect your device to the PC via USB | |
4. Open a terminal/command line/shell and start | |
adb logcat. This will display the devices | |
log on the shell. Beware, this is a lot of | |
scroll. You may want to redirect it to a file or | |
use some shell | |
extension that allows searches in the text output | |
(like | |
screen or tmux). To redirect | |
adb logcat > android.log should do the trick. It | |
will | |
create a file android.log which is a plain text | |
file that | |
can be viewed in any text editor. | |
6. Watch out for stuff related to the app. A typical | |
log start similar | |
to this: | |
08-20 13:16:33.114 1529 3193 I ActivityManager: START u0 {act=android.i… | |

2. Copy all the blurb from the start mentioned in step | |
3 till you reach | |
a line that holds | |
