Would it be possible to have rain be split out from snow when there's mixed precipitation on the same day? You can see Bura is doing this (the only app I've found that does it).

When there's both rain and snow on the same day then I'd ideally want to see mm for rain and cm for snow however it defaults to mm for both which is ok but also a bit hard to read on those mixed days.

Not sure if breaking out 2 separate icons under the Block/Lines view might work, showing rain and then another for snow.

There's also #125 for the shower icons, now that winter is coming along there's a lot more days with rain/snow (Toronto, Ontario Canada as an example).

You can see some mm and some cm in the screenshot below (because it's mixed precipitation days):

Bura splits these measurements as Precipitation, Rain, Showers and Snow in their settings. I suspect "Precipitation" would only show when there is no precipitation, otherwise it would break out each type of precipitation, the graph is also a nice way to display it (stacked with each different amount which together would be the total "precipitation").

Here's a sample:

@0-5-0 i fixed the new icon now showing in many cases. As for showing all data for rain/shower/snow i could add that as you shown to the chart. Will think about it.

The new small snow/rain icon looks nice in release 144, at least it gives a visual indicator that there's going to be snow and rain the same day even if the rain (mm) and snow (cm) is difficult to visualize under one metric. Splitting each into their own weather data icon could be interesting otherwise but it's a nice improvement as is.

Breaking out the snow, rain, showers under the individual daily views could also be a good way to provide the additional info like show beneath the chart in the screenshot above.

and having the hourly chart show the mix too would be nice.

Lots to think about for sure :D

I'm not really seeing the stacked bars anywhere, I added the use hourly chart for daily view and tried Quebec, Quebec Canada & Drummondville, Quebec, Canada. Both were showing the snow/rain icon for that day but there was no stacked bars.

I also liked in Bura how they split out the precipitation/rain/snow in text form, I'm not sure if that could be added to the daily view section in text just above pollutants with the measurements (like shown in the Bura screenshot).

@0-5-0 must be because the ratio difference is too big for the 2 bars to be visible

here we can see it but the rain bars are really small

Ok, I do see the stacked bars when using Vedjeon as a location so I'll keep an eye on it for my region.

I was hoping you might be able to add this part in the screenshot below to the Daily View page just above the Pollutants. It would be a straight forward way to see how many mm of rain and cm of snow are forecasted should it not be as visible in the chart.

For the current day under the daily view he lists it as "Last 24 hours" and "Next 24 hours" which is useful to see how many CM of snow we did end up getting or how many are coming today/soon. Splitting the rain, snow, showers, precipitation measurements. I guess when there is no rain/snow/showers then he just lists it as "precipitation".
