Use weather from yr.no #124

Hello,

We are out in the wilderness, nowhere near any town or any other weather station than our own Netatmo weather station. What would the best suggestion be to get forecast here? Using Openweather now with correct coordinates and nearest town, which is not very near. Many thanks for any hints..

I should maybe mention that the Norwegian state Meteorology institute apparently uses local Netatmo weather stations for their forecasts. Any chance of supporting that service? It seems free, open and is very good for all of Scandinavia. https://hjelp.yr.no/hc/en-us/articles/360001940793-Free-weather-data-service-from-Yr

That looks not bad. It's free without an api key. But it's for normal users hard to find the location url. You cannot search by city name or geo location.

They are working on a new api that will be released in "Summer 2020". I will wait for that and probably implement this new api.

Cool, that would be very useful for all Scandinavians I believe.. Many thanks.
