Weather

A faint line at the foot of the sky — the whole canvas the calendar is drawn on — shows the weather where you are.

#Where it is

At the bottom centre of the sky, in every view. There is no setting for it anywhere in the settings book. It appears, or it does not.

#What it looks like

One faint line: a glyph, two spaces, and the temperature as a whole number with a degree sign. For example: "✦ 18°".

It is drawn centred at the foot of the sky, in the chosen sky's own ink at about a quarter strength. It sits over the stars and under the sun, the earth and the moon. The chosen sky is your theme — see Skies, colours & my sky.

#The glyphs

There are seven. They are the same as in Zenith Launcher, so a glyph means the same thing in every Zenith app.

Anything else the service reports shows as "✦".

#Where it comes from

The weather comes from Open-Meteo, a weather service. It needs no account and no key.

The app asks for two things only: the current temperature and the current weather type. Your position is rounded before it is sent, so your exact location never leaves the phone. See Privacy, permissions & what leaves the phone.

#When it updates

Each time you come back to the app, and no more than once every thirty minutes. It runs in the background. If it fails, nothing is drawn and nothing is said.

#What it needs

A location. The app first uses the place it has already saved. Failing that, and only if the phone has given it approximate location permission, it uses the phone's last known position.

With no permission there is no location, and with no location nothing is asked. The line is absent. That is the normal state on a phone that has never been asked for its location. It is not a fault.

#The unit

Celsius, rounded to a whole number. There is no choice of units.
