The hourly duplication also depends on weather providers. Some weather providers will give historical hourly data for the current day, while others will only give future hourly data. briefsky will actually eliminate "Today" if there is no historical hourly data and less than 8 hours left in the hourly data, depending on the weather provider, so that could also be addressed at the provider level.
In one sense, the argument against adding it to the top is that all of those details are actually current / live details, whereas the sunset/sunrise and precipitation values are more of daily details. But I could see the counter argument, if you're just interested in seeing all statistics that apply to right now / today.
I find the current layout a little confusing since the hourly information under
Today
duplicates what the user sees on initial page load. You can't simply remove theToday
accordion because it's the only place where you see precipitation and the sunset sunrise times.I see two options:
Today
accordion but remove the hourly information since it duplicates what the user has already seen. This would be weird, though, since the data underToday
will be different from the other days. You could rename itDetails
or something but that would look inconsistent with the rest of the items in the accordion which are days, not details.Number two seems like the better way to go. It does lead to the scenario where you have more information at the top of the page, which raises the question "What is the most useful for the user?" I'm sure different people have different preferences and perhaps the best option is to expose these different values in the settings so people can choose what they want.
Personally, I have no use for pressure, dew point and visibility but do frequently consult precipitation probability, amount and sunset/sunrise times.
Here's a screenshot showing how the hourly information is duplicated:![IMG_2994](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/498744/232972889-f0362aa0-5503-4327-a2dc-129f33c40d9a.jpg)
