Weather forecast on 24 rather than 12 hours

Can you enrich the Toybox.Weather.getHourlyForecast() to give a forecast for 24 hours instead of 12 hours? 

Why we need a full day / 24 hours weather forecast? 

  1. in the morning, you need to know if there won't be a rain the whole day till the evening
  2. often you want to check weather for tomorrow to prepare before you go to sleep

Thanks for considering. This would make it finally usable.

    If you get the forecast at 7am, then you would have hourly data until 7pm that evening. You are asking for 24 hours of weather (i.e., 7am forecast tells the weather for 6am tomorrow).

    Our weather service doesn't provide 24 hourly forecast samples, so this is asking for quite a lot.

    But the summer daylight in Europe is well over 16h. 

    (sarcasm) Also we have an artificial lightning here in Europe so we are not scared to walk outside during the dark as well!:) We actually typically sleep only around 8 hours here and are active 16, not just 12 hours here. (/sorry for sarcasm)

    If you do a strenuous hike like Biancograt ridge for example, you start as early as 3 am (in this case) to have enough buffer of time when things go wrong on the way. 

    And if you are just an office guy, some prepare their clothes the day before, when they go to sleep. 

    Without the 24h forecast, I consider the API use-less. 

    Just out of curiosity: who is your weather provider?
