Some days are fine.
Some days aren't.
A 30% chance of rain doesn't tell you whether anything will dry. Fine Day scores every daylight hour on rain, humidity, temperature and wind, then says it in one word: Yes, Maybe or No.

More than a rain forecast
If the air stays damp all afternoon, nothing dries even when it isn't raining. Fine Day works that out for you: it scores each hour on whether washing can actually dry, then finds the stretch that genuinely works. Handy for anything that needs dry hours, washing on the line, painting, staining, mowing, spreading compost, sanding the deck, walks, barbecues, or splitting and stacking firewood.

On a Home Assistant dashboard
Fine Day runs as a card on a Home Assistant dashboard, the same view as the phone above, and keeps itself up to date through the day. The card maker finds your place, shows you the card and gives you the code to paste in.
Make your cardOr add a Webpage card yourself with this address, changing the suburb to yours:
https://www.sumnerd.co.nz/fineday/embed/?q=Petone&theme=auto
Then check the name at the top of the card is the place you meant. If
the name is used in more than one town, add the town after a comma:
?q=Hillcrest,+Hamilton.
theme=auto follows your device's light or dark mode.
Make the card taller so a few days show under today: about 8 rows in a
sections view, or an aspect ratio of 120% in a masonry view.
Want it as sensors, so an automation can tell you when tomorrow's a Yes? That's available on request while it's being tested. Email hello@sumnerd.co.nz about Fine Day for Home Assistant.
