New features

Pressure altitude

View pressure altitudes instead of height! Just switch in settings

Advanced mode

A new toggle in Settings can enable Advanced Mode. This has a few features:

  1. High precision temperature, RH + dewpoint tooltip

Hover over a temperature to view fractional temperature, dewpoint spread, dewpoint, and RH!

image
  1. Humidity indicator

When humidity approaches 100%, there will be a droplet indicator to the left of temperature. This is especially helpful for the next feature...

image
  1. Lapse rate and inversion indications

This is something I'm super excited about, but it's definitely still a work in progress!

  • Red arrows for lapse rates exceeding DALR or MALR (when RH >= 100%)
  • Green arrow with a ceiling when lapse rate is negative, indicating an inversion
  • Opaque grey arrow when exceeding MALR but not DALR, and < 100% RH.

I'd love to hear your feedback.

The most requested feature of PPG.report is here - 🌍 global support!

image

For our users in the United States

When viewing US locations, everything is the same! We still use rucsoundings.noaa.gov. However we've now added Open-Meteo.com for support of international locations.

This also means that US weather reports are now even more highly available. If rucsoundings.noaa.gov is down, PPG.report will seamlessly switch over to Open-Meteo.com.

Global coverage - and not just winds aloft!

Besides winds aloft, international locations also get:

  • hourly weather data (including weather phenomenons),
  • international SIGMET alerts, and
  • airport TAF information, worldwide!

Open-Meteo.com, the API PPG.report uses for international weather data, seamlessly switches to use the best weather model for your location. In the future, this may become configurable!

Supported weather models:

...and as Open Meteo adds additional models, you'll immediately benefit from that in PPG.report.

Which brings me to the next large feature of this release

Translations

We now (to a limited extent) support French, Dutch, Spanish and German. There's still a lot of work to do, but it's a start! If you would like to request a language and/or help translate, PLEASE reach out!

It's not just translations, either - a big effort is being made to ensure units automatically default for your device's locale (and of course, you can customize in Settings).

Normalized altitudes

Previously, when switching hour-to-hour, you saw that the altitudes changed slightly. This is because the underlying altitude is actually based on barometric pressure, and so the altitude in distance above ground can vary throughout the day.

Normalized altitudes automatically interpolates data for fixed heights above ground. Check it out!

Many other small bugfixes and enhancements

Ever found it annoying how you can't copy the coordinates for a location when viewing PPG.report installed from your homescreen? Well... Now you can just copy that location!

There's a bunch of other small, quality of life improvements in this release. See if you can find them. 😉

What's Changed

  • Add typescript vite config by @aeharding in #128
  • Add international support with Open-Meteo.com, add standardized altitudes by @aeharding in #129
