"[WP Wunderground] is by far, the best weather plugin i've ever seen on a CMS before. Not even Joomla has something so powerful, good looking and yet easy to implement."
Robson

Wunderground is the best WordPress weather site.

Wunderground.com has the most accurate and in-depth weather information. They're also not evil corporate giants, and are weather geeks, which is nice.

This plugin uses the Wunderground API to gather its accurate forecasts.

If you want a great-looking weather forecast, use this plugin.

This is the best-looking weather forecast plugin for WordPress. It looks great on many different templates out of the box, including the default WP theme, TwentyTen.

Why would I want this plugin?

This plugin is a perfect compliment for regional websites (about a city or town), personal websites where you want to share what the weather is like where you're blogging from, travel sites (show the weather at each stop!), snow removal websites, yard services websites, and more.

The WP Wunderground plugin uses 10 great-looking icon sets from Wunderground.com, including:

• Default
• Smiley
• Generic
• Old School
• Cartoon
• Mobile
• Simple
• Contemporary
• Helen
• Incredible

Using the WP Wunderground Weather Plugin

The plugin can be configured in two ways:

1. Configure the plugin in the admin's WP Wunderground settings page, then add [forecast] to your content where you want the forecast to appear.
2. Go crazy with the [forecast] shortcode.

Using the `[forecast]` Shortcode

If you're a maniac for shortcodes, and you want all control all the time, this is a good way to use it.

[forecast location="Tokyo, Japan" caption="Weather for Tokyo" measurement='F' todaylabel="Today" datelabel="date('m/d/Y')" highlow='%%high%%°/%%low%%°' numdays="3" iconset="Cartoon" class="css_table_class"]

The shortcode supports the following settings:

• location="Tokyo, Japan" - Use any city/state combo or US/Canada ZIP code
• caption="Weather for Tokyo" - Add a caption to your table (it's like a title)
• measurement='F' - Choose Fahrenheit or Celsius by using "F" or "C"
• datelabel="date('m/d/Y')" - Format the way the days display ("9/30/2012" in this example)
• todaylabel="Today" - Format how today's date appears ("Today" in this example)
• highlow='%%high%%°/%%low%%°' - Format how the highs & low temps display ("85°/35°" in this example)
• numdays=3 - Change the number of days displayed in the forecast. Up to 6 day forecast.
• iconset="Cartoon" - Choose your iconset from one of 10 great options
• class="css_table_class" - Change the CSS class of the generated forecast table
