Configuration

The plugin is pre-configured by default to display recent weather observations for Penzance, Cornwall. To change this,

1. Go to WP-Admin -> Settings -> UK Weather Observations

2. Enter the BBC location code for the location that you are interested in

3. Click on 'Save Changes' to save the new location and update the weather information for it

No other configuration is normally required.

To find your BBC location code, go to http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/ and search for your nearest town or large village.

If the search is successful, your BBC location code is the one to four digit number in the middle of the URL. For example, if you search for ‘Penzance’, the search result URL is 'http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/2756?&search=penzance&itemsPerPage=10&region=uk' - the BBC location code is 2756. If the BBC location code is less than four digits add leading zeros, for example, for Oxford use 0025.

Alternatively, download the latest version of 'BBC Weather Observations Codes' from the plugin's web page (http://www.clive-publishing.com/free-stuff/oss/uk-weather-observations/) and search it for your nearest town or large village.

If the search is not successful, try the next nearest town or large village.
