As I covered briefly [in a recent Scribble](https://scribbles.jbowdre.lol/post/near-realtime-weather-on-profile-lol-ku4yq-zr), I was inspired by the way [Kris's omg.lol page](https://kris.omg.lol/) displays realtime data from his [Weatherflow Tempest weather station](https://shop.weatherflow.com/products/tempest). I thought that was really neat and wanted to do the same on [my omg.lol page](https://jbowdre.lol) with data from my own Tempest, but I wanted to do it without including my station ID or API token directly in the client-side JavaScript.

I realized I could use a GitHub Actions workflow to retrieve the data from the authenticated Tempest API, post it somewhere publicly accessible, and then have the client-side code fetch the data from there without needing any authentication. After a few days of tinkering, I came up with a presentation I'm happy with.

The final touch will be to change the icons depending on the values of certain fields:
<<<<<<< HEAD
- The conditions icon will vary from <i class="fa-solid fa-sun"></i> to <i class="fa-solid fa-cloud-bolt"></i>, roughly corresponding to the `icon` value from the Tempest API.
- The temperature icon will range from <i class="fa-solid fa-thermometer-empty"></i> to <i class="fa-solid fa-thermometer-full"></i> depending on the temperature.
- The precipitation icon will be <i class="fa-solid fa-droplet-slash"></i> for no precipitation, and progress through <i class="fa-solid fa-glass-water-droplet"></i> and <i class="fa-solid fa-glass-water"></i> for a bit more rain, and cap out at <i class="fa-solid fa-bucket"></i> for lots of rain[^rain].
- The pressure icon should change based on the trend: <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-trend-up"></i>, <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-right-long"></i>, and <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-trend-down"></i>.

[^rain]: Okay, admittedly this progression isn't perfect, but it's the best I could come up with within the free FA icon set.
