Description Jan Bidler 2025-06-14 12:03:48 UTC
SUMMARY
The "Day, Night, $DAY+1, $DAY+2" are really unclear. I don't know what timeframe "day" or "night" is supposed to be, and seeing "15" or "16" is also unclear and would be nicer to be replaced with long words ("tomorrow"/"overmorrow") or by including the month as well ("15.06"/"16.06")

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use a city that has wetter.com as a backend, e.g. Rösrath
2. Activate the widget

Yeah, it happens the same in Spanish... Day/Night are more supposed to mean Today/Tonight but a bit shorter to fit in the column.
Not sure if that's something more implicit in English but fails a bit on other languages.

We could switch to Today/Tonight texts, or else add the number, ex 20 (Day) | 20 (Night) | 21 | 22

For me, both of these still don't fully solve it.
Day numbers alone without months are just too unclear IMO

And Today/Tonight would still leave me wondering what it actually is referring to: Is today the average of the whole day and tonight from 18:00-24:00? Would Day mean sunrise-sunset and Night sunset-sunrise of next day?
