Why on Earth would I build yet another weather app, you may ask?
This is actually a very relevant question, considering the literal thousands of weather apps currently littering the App Store.

The practical reason is the following: existing apps fell short in 3 very key areas:
1. Im not interested in seeing the sun icon repeated multiple times on the screen if its going to be sunny from 09:00 to 17:00
2. Im (generally) not interested in seeing the weather at 3 in the morning
3. Im not interested in a whole bunch of bloated data like the dew point, UV index and whatnot

And so the answer is YaWa, my own take on what should be a weather app:
- similar forecasts accross time ranges are grouped.
- you can hide what you would deem as "night time". For me its anything after 18:00, and yes, I know, Im getting old.

Thats it. Enjoy!
