rhygfuehl.ch

☀️ rhygfuehl.ch shows the current Rhine temperature of Basel in a clear app that can be easily accessed via a web browser. The app also shows a simplified temperature history of the last 12 hours and the current air temperature at Untere Rheingasse.

How it works

The application uses Astro for pre-rendering a static site with extreme SEO optimization and zero baseline JavaScript.

Every 15 minutes, a GitHub Actions cron job triggers the data/aggregation.py script to fetch the latest Rhine temperatures and water levels from the Open Data Basel-Stadt APIs. The script writes this data into static JSON files.

Immediately after fetching, the GitHub Action builds the Astro site, directly injecting the latest temperatures into the HTML <meta name="description"> tags for immediate SEO indexing, and then deploys to GitHub Pages.
