Now we're on the new API we can use the chance of thunder as well

Replace count_max_bars_at_time with a new method based on count_overlapping_bars

DataPoint is closing at some point - need to move to this new service. More restrictive API rate limits but hourly forecast should be available.

Issues with Plotly's kaleido library and the original Raspberry Pi's armv6l architecture mean it's not possible to generate the output image on that platform. Maybe we should rewrite it in Matplotlib?

Temperature displayed on the meteogram looks a lot higher than the Met Office app's forecast

Could replace our calculation of storm and ice periods. Maybe offer them as options, should probably be on the same line? Need to allow for the possibility of multiple simultaneous weather warnings?

Would be useful to distinguish between light and heavy rain

GeoJSON data from the API is currently converted to an object map using a JSON library but not a GeoJSON one, proper GeoJSON support could improve our codebase.

Currently, the system time zone is used for determining local time. The software assumes your weather spot is also in your time zone, which works fine for 99% of use cases, but if you want to build a rotating display showing weather in other places, things go a bit wrong.

For example, a computer in the UK displaying weather in Australia will never show a "good laundry day" because your 10am time to put the laundry out is in UK time, which is evening in Australia.

Need to double check how iCal times are handled as well, make sure we are getting the times as UTC so they are plotted right.
