Splitting out rain and snow from precipitation?

[0-5-0]

Would it be possible to have rain be split out from snow when there's mixed precipitation on the same day? You can see Bura is doing this (the only app I've found that does it).

When there's both rain and snow on the same day then I'd ideally want to see mm for rain and cm for snow however it defaults to mm for both which is ok but also a bit hard to read on those mixed days.

Not sure if breaking out 2 separate icons under the Block/Lines view might work, showing rain and then another for snow.

There's also #125 for the shower icons, now that winter is coming along there's a lot more days with rain/snow (Toronto, Ontario Canada as an example).

You can see some mm and some cm in the screenshot below (because it's mixed precipitation days):

Bura splits these measurements as Precipitation, Rain, Showers and Snow in their settings. I suspect "Precipitation" would only show when there is no precipitation, otherwise it would break out each type of precipitation, the graph is also a nice way to display it (stacked with each different amount which together would be the total "precipitation").

Here's a sample:

@0-5-0 i fixed the new icon now showing in many cases. As for showing all data for rain/shower/snow i could add that as you shown to the chart. Will think about it.

The new small snow/rain icon looks nice in release 144, at least it gives a visual indicator that there's going to be snow and rain the same day even if the rain (mm) and snow (cm) is difficult to visualize under one metric. Splitting each into their own weather data icon could be interesting otherwise but it's a nice improvement as is.

Breaking out the snow, rain, showers under the individual daily views could also be a good way to provide the additional info like show beneath the chart in the screenshot above.

and having the hourly chart show the mix too would be nice.

Lots to think about for sure :D

I'm not really seeing the stacked bars anywhere, I added the use hourly chart for daily view and tried Quebec, Quebec Canada & Drummondville, Quebec, Canada. Both were showing the snow/rain icon for that day but there was no stacked bars.

I also liked in Bura how they split out the precipitation/rain/snow in text form, I'm not sure if that could be added to the daily view section in text just above pollutants with the measurements (like shown in the Bura screenshot).

@0-5-0 must be because the ratio difference is too big for the 2 bars to be visible

here we can see it but the rain bars are really small

Can you share a screenshot of what want from bura?

Ok, I do see the stacked bars when using Vedjeon as a location so I'll keep an eye on it for my region.

I was hoping you might be able to add this part in the screenshot below to the Daily View page just above the Pollutants. It would be a straight forward way to see how many mm of rain and cm of snow are forecasted should it not be as visible in the chart.

For the current day under the daily view he lists it as "Last 24 hours" and "Next 24 hours" which is useful to see how many CM of snow we did end up getting or how many are coming today/soon. Splitting the rain, snow, showers, precipitation measurements. I guess when there is no rain/snow/showers then he just lists it as "precipitation".

If I tap on one of the bars it only shows the snow measurement in the pop-up, not the rain measurement, or I guess the showers measurement either.

I'm not sure if rain/showers could be added as data points, even allowing us to add it to the default/line view on the main page for those who might want to see rain and snow as separate icons. You'd have to decide between selecting precipitation, snow, rain, showers separately which might be confusing though if it's configurable under default/line.

I do still like how Bura displays it on the day view though as shown in my previous screenshots.

I suppose the rain icon could show in mm rain, rain shower, or other rain variations. Then the snow icon could show in cm snow, snow showers, or other snow variations. It could be configurable for those who prefer the current format or want them broken out into their own icons? I'm not sure if "sleet"/"slush?" would fall under mixed precipitation..

Having each type of precipitation displayed under the daily view like Bura does would be good for those instances where there's a large precipitation number but we don't know how much is snow or rain.

The stacked bars at the top in the hourly chart definitely help to define what is snow and what is rain, if we tap on those it only shows the one snow measurement and not rain measurement since both are combined into 1 data point.

The new version looks great! Only a few issues with mm (rain) vs cm (snow), some of the snow shows as mm which looks odd. It shows in cm for the daily forecast but then daily view shows mm and the pop up in hourly shows mm, where ideally it would show cm everywhere for snow and mm everywhere for rain.

I also saw that where ever I open the daily view aside from the current day the new section opens up cut/squished. This happens with multiple random test locations.

Thursday (not today) vs Current day/Today's forecast (which looks awesome), but with the pop up showing mm for snow instead of cm and with the last 24 hours snow show mm instead of cm.

Niseko Japan on ECMWF 0.25 IFS is what I used to test (they showed lots of precipitation this week).

Was testing ECMWF AIFS (not IFS), same results though but IFS provides higher precipitation values.

@0-5-0 thanks for the gret testing. will fix all that
