Looks great. One thing that initially tripped me up, I searched "Raleigh, NC" and got no place found. "Raleigh" worked.

That’s frustrating, thank you for the feedback. I’ll take a look at improving the search and potentially switching out the API provider. I currently use open-meteo as I was already using it for the weather forecast (it has a great weather API), and it made sense at the time to keep with a single provider.

#14would be great to show humidity %

I’ll definitely look at adding this in, along with potential the wet bulb temperature. Thanks for the feedback!

#16I love plain text services. One of their benefits is near instant load time. A nitpick, but this takes a few seconds to load on a fast broadband connection for me. I get the delay even refreshing the same page, where I'd expect the cache to be hit.

Weird, on my iPhone it loaded instantly.

Sorry about this, and thank you for the heads up. The site runs as a PocketBase instance on a small 512mb DigitalOcean droplet in their London DC, and is getting more load than usual at the moment.
I’ll take a look though at whether there’s anything causing fundamental slowness in the cache read / page rendering pipeline.

Looking at chrome dev tools, it looks like it might be the custom font causing the delay. I'm not sure exactly why though.

Interesting, I’d have naively assumed that’d be cached after first load by Chrome. Definitely one to investigate further.
