I’d like to track hurricanes. All the apps I see collect all kinds of personal data. I just go to NOAA to see the advisories, but wondering if there is something better.

Edit: OS is Android 14 Edit: looking for radar (probably) or some other feature to track hurricanes (I don’t know what tools there are besides radar, but if there’s something else I’m interested).

Not a hurricane tracker, but I’d like understand a bit about open-meteo and breezy weather. I notice for my country there’s no way to be more specific than the whole country, therefore location needs to be enable, or so I guess.

Does open-meteo requires some information exchange such that it’s easy to identify the user/device? Does breezy weather actually attempts to anonymize the user or fake it to make them non identifiable?

Just wondering.

Thanks !
