#104 Dew Point

[Cody Shell]

Please consider adding dew point. Many people prefer using dew point over relative humidity since dew point is an absolute measurement.

Thanks

Most provider don't provide Dew Point but some do. I'll look into adding it. I also found a reverse calculation for DP based on RH. but they say it's only accurate with RH > 50%.

Thanks for looking into it!

Good and bad news. AccuWeather, CanadaGov, ClimaCell (soon to be added), DarkSky, and WeatherUnderground provide a Dewpoint value. None of the other sources do.

Not sure which source(s) you use.

I do use DarkSky (at least until Apple shuts down the API). I don't have a personal weather station, so I can't use WeatherUnderground. I didn't know AccuWeather was an option with Meteorologist.

Thanks

Thanks for implementing this so quickly! BTW, I think the NWS API provides dew point, but it's not displaying it.

Thanks again!

NWS as in NOAA? It is displaying for me. But I've found NOAA to not be consistently reliable.

[Cody Shell]

Inconsistent is an understatement in regard to NOAA (NWS). When I posted that comment earlier today it was working. Later it wasn't working at all. Now it's showing current conditions, but no forecast.

I've attached a screen shot of the NOAA (NWS) current conditions. No dew point on mine. Are you seeing dew point on it right now? Dark Sky and AccuWeather show dew point, but the NOAA does not.

Thanks
