About NoAdsWeather

Weather forecasts without ads, cookies, or tracking.

Why we built this

Most weather websites today are an assault on attention. Autoplay video, full-page popups, "subscribe to alerts" prompts, drift-down banners, third-party tracking pixels, six layers of cookie-consent dialogs. The actual forecast is buried under three screens of noise — and by the time you find it, your laptop fan is spinning.

NoAdsWeather is the opposite of that. Open the page. See the weather. Leave. That's it.

What's different

No ads. No display ads, no native ads, no sponsored content, no affiliate links. Ever.
No tracking. No Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel, no Hotjar, no Sentry, no third-party scripts of any kind. No fingerprinting.
No cookies. Your preferences (units, theme, language, last city) are stored in your browser's local storage. They never leave your device.
Self-hosted fonts. Fonts come from our own servers, not Google Fonts (which would log every visitor's IP).
Open source. The full source code is on GitHub — read it, fork it, run your own copy.

How it works

NoAdsWeather is a static site. There's no backend user database because there are no users. When you search for a city, your browser makes direct API calls:

Open-Meteo — current conditions, hourly data, and the 10-day forecast.
National Weather Service — severe weather alerts for US locations.
OpenWeatherMap — severe weather alerts for non-US locations (routed through our own proxy so the API key isn't exposed).
RainViewer — past radar tiles.
NoAdsRadar — our own future-cast radar service for the contiguous United States.
Zippopotam — postal/zip code to coordinates lookup.

That's the whole stack. No ad networks. No analytics. No data brokers. The privacy policy lists every external service the site touches.

How it stays free

NoAdsWeather is supported by tips from visitors. Hosting on GitHub Pages costs nothing; the two Cloud Run proxies and the radar tile service cost a few dollars a month. If you find the site useful, throwing a few dollars helps cover the bills.
