Redesign: Weather

[kylecorry31]

Weather doesn't need much work, since the last update tried to re-focus it.

Primary focus: Weather prediction

At a glance:

• Weather prediction (now, later)
• Temperature prediction (high / low)
• Current observations (pressure, tendency - maybe just direction, temperature)
• Alerts (storm, cold, hot)

Advanced:

• Pressure history (may remain in at a glance until Estimate hourly weather #1509 )
• Pressure tendency (exact amount)
• Pressure system
• Weather front
• Temperature history
• Temperature prediction (not in at a glance because it is estimated on historic values, so a rough estimate)

Task list:

• Create at a glance view
• Create advanced dialogs
• Remove old field code
• Re-evaluate the pressure chart - is this easy to understand for most people, or is pressure a more technical indicator? Maybe this gets replaced after Estimate hourly weather #1509 and moved into the advanced pressure dialog

UI design idea (will draw out a mockup later)

Title: Current weather, later weather (stays the same)
Chart: Pressure history (will be replaced once #1509 is completed)
Data:

• Alerts: Storm, Cold, Hot
• Temperature: Low, Current, High
  • On click: Show next 24 hours prediction with last X hours recorded
• Pressure: Current, Tendency
  • On click: Show last X hours recorded, pressure system, weather front
• Humidity: Humidity
  • On click: Show last X hours recorded

Moving this to lower in priority - this tool is pretty easy to read as is, and only has a few unnecessary datapoints. A redesign will not really be needed until #1509
