Thanks for the feedback!
I agree, it’s definitely something to work on as it takes up a considerable amount of vertical space.
I found the precipitation chart challenging as you need to present both the forecasted precipitation, and the potential likelihood of the precipitation occurring. Something I’ve considered is using a horizontal graph with different shades of grey through black in each bar to represent the probability, but it would somewhat reduce accessibility.
I think you may be able just drop the precipitation chance. While the precipitation chance is interesting, I tend to not experience any actual rain even if the predicted chance is 90+ percent. Even if there is rain, usually the amount is not worth bringing an umbrella for.
My https://weather-sense.leftium.com also uses open-meteo for weather data. And I've been comparing how precipitation amount/chance forecasts compare to real life experience.
Look at how vastly different the precipitation chance and amount were for Seoul the past few days: https://weather-sense.leftium.com/?n=seoul According to the chance, it was raining non-stop 48+ hours. The precipitation bars give a much better idea when actual precipitation occurred.
