Plugins  Add-On  
World Weather is a plugin for ExpressionEngine that allows you to displays weather conditions from around the world on your site. The plugin fetches weather information generated by a worldwide network of weather reporting stations that are usually located at airports.

Requirements

Every station has a four character station location indicator code (ICAO) that is required in order to fetch weather conditions for that particular location. You can find a list of ICAO codes at the following URL: http://weather.gov/tg/siteloc.shtml

Example Usage

{exp:world_weather:current station="LFPG" cache_refresh="300"}

<h1>Weather in Paris, France</h1>

<p>Temperature: {temperature_f}&deg;F ({temperature_c}&deg;C)<br />
Feels Like: {feels_like_f}&deg;F ({feels_like_c}&deg;C)<br />
Heat Index: {heat_index_f}&deg;F ({heat_index_c}&deg;C)<br />
Dew Point: {dew_point_f}&deg;F ({dew_point_c}&deg;C)<br />
Humidity: {humidity}%<br />
Barometer: {barometer_in} in. Hg ({barometer_hpa} hPa)<br />
Sky Conditions: {sky_condition}<br />
