Screenshot
None yet. Requested from incident.archivist@ in addresses.json (capture: yes). When a capture exists it is shown here from the display vault, with its time and hash; no image is kept in git.
What it shows, and how
A place page with one table: a row per day that opens into a row per hour (symbol, temperature, precipitation in mm, wind speed with an arrow and the wind in words). The national service's warnings for the place sit above the table as banners that start with a status word (Ongoing, Expected), in English, worldwide: for Lisbon it showed IPMA's five warnings. Lisbon was read and rendered.
Forms: timeline-hourly, maps, warnings, radar, api.
Seen in a browser (23:48 UTC, 2026-11-10): Lisbon, hourly table for Wednesday 11 November: above the table, five warning banners for Lisboa in English, each starting with a status word ("Ongoing: Yellow Coastal Event Warning", "Expected: Orange Rain Warning", "Expected: Red Rain Warning", "Expected: Red Wind Warning", "Expected: Orange Coastal Event Warning"), each expandable; under them one row per hour: time, symbol, temperature, precipitation in mm, wind speed in m/s with an arrow, and the wind in words ("Fresh breeze from south east"). No gust column was shown. The automatic rows read 4 to 10 m/s for Lisbon under a banner carrying the red wind warning: the page does not comment on the difference.
What it does best
The calmest hour-by-hour table on the web, with the authority's warnings for that place above it, each with a status word. The same data is an open API for any point on Earth.
What we take from it
Warnings above the hours, each starting with Ongoing or Expected. And its flaw to avoid: automatic hourly wind of 4 to 10 m/s printed under a red wind warning with no word on why they differ.
Data and models it says it uses
MET Norway's forecasts (credit asked: "The Norwegian Meteorological Institute"); the warnings shown for Lisbon are IPMA's. Which model feeds the Lisbon rows was not stated on the page read.
Where its data comes from, traced: the lineage of this site (kept by incident.meteorology@).
