About Bura

Bura is an open-source weather app for Android that uses graphs and data visualizations to present forecast data from Open-Meteo.com. Its homepage describes it as a spiritual successor to Prognoza. It is meant to show essential weather information at a glance, with graphs for a closer look at the data. The homepage states that the app works offline, uses mobile data sparingly, does not require an API key, and does not access location.

The project lists several features as planned but not yet implemented, including weather alerts, home screen widgets, notification widgets, customizable Open-Meteo data sources, and additional graphs for precipitation, UV index, wind, pressure, humidity, visibility, feels-like temperature, and air quality. The author has also stated that manual refresh, customizable refresh period, other weather sources, and an OLED dark theme will not be implemented.

Bura FAQ

What does the colored temperature bar mean?
The extreme ends of the bar are the full temperature range of the week. The colored bar shows the temperature range for that day, and the dot shows the current temperature.
Why can't I find my location?
The Open-Meteo geocoding API works best with a simple, single-word, generic search term such as "Berlin", followed by choosing from the results. Queries with multiple words or commas can confuse the API.
Where does the forecast data come from?
Forecast and location data come from Open-Meteo, licensed under Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0).
