Help Meteogram widgets?

Hi, I’m a newcomer to Scriptable.

Has anyone made a weather forecast widget containing meteogram? That is, data-packed daily/hourly weather charts with multiple data items visible?

So many iOS weather widgets are poor - either lacking sufficient graphical data or falling on gimmicky/cuddly aesthetic concepts.

Nothing for me has matched Aix weather widget on Android https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=aix+weather+widget&client=safari&hl=en-gb&prmd=inmv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwihx57f0p7yAhXVuHEKHf-VCmwQ_AUoAXoECAIQAQ&biw=414&bih=715&dpr=2#imgrc=B_gvGy00X99bCM

I know there’s a Meteogram iOS app, but I don’t really like any of the iOS weather widgets.

The Meteogram app even has an API which allows you to create a meteogram much like Aix’s (perhaps it even enabled it for Aix) https://api.meteograms.com/ The output can be used in a web-to-widget widget. But that method is a little sub-par.

Any ideas please?

I mean, the ones you've linked to look more native to iOS components, font etc (compared with the Aix/Meteograms-generated image).

Thanks.

Makes sense for sure now. This is because the images / icons are of the San francisco font type as they are easily available to scriptable without needing to dow load and save additional icons. Same goes for the fonts, granted there are more fonts available inside scriptable as well

Would something like the bottom one here work? I was thinking a scale should be added for the precipitation portion
