Excellent app! And I'm sure I'm not the only one to congratulate you in showing past weather - a so obviously useful feature that 99% of all weather apps never have.
I picked the Watercolor map style[1] because it looked pretty and the detail from other styles wasn't needed (like street names).
Then I picked The Weather Channel radar color scheme[2] because the green-to-red gradients seemed to contrast well with the Watercolor map style.
What map style/radar color scheme combination would you prefer? Perhaps I can make this configurable... (Is there any chance there simply was no precipitation on your map?)

I am not sure what you mean by "toggle on hover." Hover is meant to work without any toggling.
The yellow line indicates which stats are currently being shown.
Ideally, when the mouse cursor is over a timeline, it shows the stats for that time. Otherwise the stats for the current condition are shown.
Sometimes the hover is a little buggy; click + dragging on the timeline or click + dragging outside a timeline usually fixes it.
Usually it works better on mobile! If your finger is touching a timeline, that is considered hovering. Otherwise the current stats are shown.
You can toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius by tapping any temperature value.
Eventually other unit types will also be implemented. URL params and cookies will also be added for persistence.
Right now, I chose to default to the most "sensible" units:
- Fahrenheit for temperature
- Millimeters per hour for precipitation
WeatherSense is still a work-in-progress!

Also: WeatherSense is designed to be used without numbers. Get a feel for the readings by looking at the shape of the plots and comparing to the current/past conditions.
