Met Office integration disabled in HA 2024.2

Third party integrations
1

Sadly this integration is being disabled in HA 2024.2 with no prospects of it being fixed anytime soon.

Question for all the UK users out there- what weather integrations do you use for reliable UK weather forecast data?
Thanks

Just switched to tomorrow.io.

Working well - the integration seems to give a pretty accurate forecast for your home location. Took a while to figure out how to extract data from their rather strange attributes…

In case you need to do it… you can get today’s precipitation_probability (for example) with

# Chance of rain
  - sensor: 
      - name: "Chance of rain"
        icon: mdi:weather-rainy
        state: '{{ state_attr("weather.tomorrow_io_albert_street_daily", "forecast")[0]["precipitation_probability"] }}'

Norweign met office

I just tried Tomorrow.io. It said the current condition was fog! It isn’t.

Can anyone suggest an integration that gives the probability of precipitation?

Thanks

OpenWeatherMap has probability of precipitation.
Seems to be accurate so far (after 2 days of testing).

Norwegian met office has precipitation. I have had it working for a few years. I would say better that Uk met office

Hi @JulianDH

I tried Norwegian but it only gave amount in mm rather than liklihood in %.

Tomorrow .io has it in the attribites. I got fog too! :worried:

I’m using OpenWeatherMap now. It seems pretty good.

Pirate Weather is another one to look at.
What I have done though is setup all of them and then created a dashboard with the same cards but different source. I can then monitor which one is being moat reliable.
