Access data of past hours and days

[ltguillaume]

I simply don't understand that virtually none of the weather apps support showing data of the past hours and/or days.

There are so many occasions where I've wanted to have an accurate weather report at the ready from a couple of hours or days before (e.g. during a conversation or when logging the weather conditions during an outdoors activity).

Open-Meteo's forecast API seems to have a Past Days setting, so there's no issue there. I actually think this would generate a unique "selling" point for Bura. Would you be willing to look into this?

No, support for past data is not planned.

Would you mind explaining the reason?

Do you know of a weather app that does support looking up past data?

Honestly, I hadn't thought about it yet. But after thinking about it, I realized it might not be that much of an issue to implement after all. Adding past days into the Graph screens would be possible and relatively easy. I don't think it would make much sense for the Home screen, though.

How does that sound? Did you have other ideas for this feature? :)

Adding it in the Graph screen would be great. I agree that the homescreen doesn't need to present this in the daily forecast, but it would be absolutely wonderful to be able to quickly glance back in the hourly view by being horizontally scrolling back. Simply making the text color gray (or soft red or so) would indicate it's in the past.
