Interest in new data sources? (FMI) #371

Describe the feature

Just feeling the room, if there would be, in general, interest to add new data sources to Pirate Weather?

I'm Finnish myself and the Finnish Meteorogical institute seems to sometimes have more accurate data than Pirate Weather. They have an API. Would be very awesome to use that data via Pirate Weather because it's available to integrate to many more places than the FMI API.

I might take a crack at this if Pirate Weather is open to the idea of new data sources.

New source suggestions are always welcome. Not sure what format @alexander0042 needs but there is data available in grib2 format here: https://en.ilmatieteenlaitos.fi/open-data-manual-forecast-models
