• AccuWeather to discontinue free access to Core Weather API

  I wanted the same thing, so I built: https://weather-sense.leftium.com - I even blogged about this over 10 years ago: https://blog.leftium.com/2013/12/how-to-display-temperature-properly.html - Previous version used to show two historical days: https://github.com/Leftium/ultra-weather API supports getting historical and forecast data in a single call.
