Open-Meteo looks like a good new option to use instead of OpenWeatherMap because it's completely open with no API key necessary (and is entirely F/LOSS unlike OWM).

They have a ludicrous amount of weather data to add, documented here: https://open-meteo.com/en/docs

The only thing they don't provide is a weather map service as it's very bandwidth heavy, so that can still fall back to OWM or a different API such as RainViewer.com's radar API (which isn't F/LOSS but appears to not require an api key) that apps such as omWeather use.

Their full list of APIs is very long, so I'm not gonna list all of them here.

Please take a look, as the OpenWeatherMap API key requirement is very annoying, especially for new users.
