I don't think I understand your request, are you talking about:

• more detailed reverse geocoding?
• or street-based weather rather than street-based location?
• or something else?

In either case, which location source AND weather source are you using?

We always query the weather based on your longitude, latitude, although some sources resolves that to the nearest city/district, but that's nothing we can change.

I use native android location，China or AccuWeather weather source. What I want to say is whether breezy-weather can provide more detailed location (provide location details down to street level, not just to the city/district), and then provide more accurate weather forecasts.
Thanks very much!

A location is a longitude and a latitude.

You're talking about different things:

• Reverse geocoding: it's the process that convert longitude and latitude to a human-readable address. We only display the district/city name for convenience
• Weather forecast: sources are in charge of converting your longitude and latitude to a forecast. For example, AccuWeather provides forecast at district level, however some features (alerts, precipitation in the next hour) are provided for longitude/latitude. China source provides forecast at district level and precipitation in the next hour for your longitude and latitude. Talking about longitude/latitude is a bit exaggerated as weather models use a grid system in which they provide forecast for a square of -let's say- 2,5 km x 2,5 km, and all longitudes and latitudes within that square will receive the same forecast.

So the name displayed has nothing to do with how you receive your forecast. There is nothing we can improve on our side for accuracy, it's already optimized.

OK, I understand. Thanks very much!
