No personal data is sent to NOAA. Requests include a standard User-Agent identifying the plugin. The free/core plugin displays current observation fields such as temperature, humidity, wind, pressure, visibility, station details, and current condition icons. It provides the data through Elementor widgets and the `[weather_field]` shortcode so you can style and integrate it in your own layout. Forecasts, radar maps, alerts, marine data, tides, lunar data, and climate data are not included in the free/core plugin. ### Features * Fetch and cache current weather observations from NOAA/weather.gov * Drag-and-drop Elementor widget for current observation fields * Use a simple shortcode, e.g.: `[weather_field key="obs_temp"]` * WP-Cron-driven caching, with an admin option to force refresh * Developer hooks and filters to modify API URLs, cache TTL, and output format ### Usage ### 1. Configure Your Location After installing and activating One8 Weather Data Fields: * Go to **Settings -> One8 Weather Data Fields** * Enter your **Latitude and Longitude** (e.g. `40.6413`, `-73.7781` for JFK) * _(Optional)_ Use the ZIP code lookup on the **Coordinates Lookup** tab to auto- fill your coordinates * Click **Save Changes** * _(Optional)_ Click **Refresh Weather Data Now** on the **Manual Refresh** tab to force a fresh fetch from NOAA ### 2. Using the Elementor Widget If you use Elementor: * Open any page in the Elementor editor * Look for the **One8 Weather Data Fields** category * Drag the **Weather Field** widget onto your page * Select your desired **Field Key** * Use Elementor’s styling options (typography, color, padding, etc.) * You can use **multiple Weather Field widgets on the same page** * Each widget includes Elementor’s own **Before** and **After** text options ### 3. Using Shortcodes Use the `[weather_field]` shortcode in any post, page, or widget. **Examples:** – Current temperature: `[weather_field key="obs_temp"]` – Current wind gust with fallback: `[weather_field key="obs_wind_gust" fallback="No gust reported"]`– Current wind (speed + direction): `[weather_field key="obs_wind_combined"]` – Station code: `[weather_field key="obs_station_code"]` – Current icon as an image: `[weather_field key="obs_icon" type="icon" class="my-weather-icon"]` By default the shortcode uses the station selected by the plugin for your configured coordinates (or your optional station override in Settings). Supported optional shortcode attributes are `before`, `after`, `fallback`, `type`, and `class`. ### Available Shortcode Fields (Current Observations) Use the `[weather_field]` shortcode with any of the following `key="..."` values: * `obs_temp` – Observed temperature at the reporting station * `obs_dewpoint` – Dew point temperature * `obs_humidity` – Relative humidity (percent) * `obs_wind_dir` – Wind direction (e.g., “NW”) * `obs_wind_speed` – Sustained wind speed * `obs_wind_gust` – Peak wind gusts (if reported) * `obs_wind_combined` – Combined wind direction and speed * `obs_pressure` – Atmospheric pressure * `obs_visibility` – Horizontal visibility * `obs_wind_chill` – Wind chill temperature (if reported by NOAA/weather.gov) * `obs_heat_index` – Heat index value (if reported by NOAA/weather.gov) * `obs_desc` – Textual description (e.g., “Partly Cloudy”) * `obs_time` – Timestamp of the last observation * `obs_icon` – URL to the icon representing current conditions * `obs_station_code` – Official station code (e.g., “KJFK”) * `station_name` – Full name of the reporting station * `station_elev` – Elevation of the reporting station ### Privacy This plugin fetches public weather observation data from the National Weather Service( NOAA) at `api.weather.gov` to display observations for your configured location.** No personal data is sent to NOAA.** Requests include a standard User-Agent identifying the plugin. * NOAA Privacy: https://www.weather.gov/privacy * NOAA API Docs: https://www.weather.gov/documentation/services-web-api ### Acknowledgements Built on the NOAA Weather.gov API Inspired by the “Minimal Weather” shortcode concept ### License This plugin is licensed under the GPLv2 or later. ## Screenshots * [[ * **Settings Page** – Enter your coordinates and select station * [[ * **Shortcode Example** – Display current observations on a page * [[ * **Elementor Widget** – Drag and customize a “Weather Field” widget into your layout * [[ * [[ * [[ * [[ * [[ * [[ ## Installation 1. Upload the `one8-weather-data-fields` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress 3. Go to **Settings -> One8 Weather Data Fields** and enter your **Latitude** and ** Longitude**. The plugin includes a Lat/Lon Lookup function. 4. Use the `[weather_field]` shortcode or the “Weather Field” Elementor widget in your pages ## FAQ ### Do I need an API key? No. NOAA’s weather.gov API is publicly accessible without authentication. ### Does the free/core plugin include forecasts, radar maps, alerts, marine data, tides, lunar data, or climate data? No. The free/core plugin displays current NOAA/weather.gov observation data through Elementor widgets and shortcodes. ### How do I clear the cache? Go to **Settings -> One8 Weather Data Fields -> Manual Refresh**, then click **Refresh Weather Data Now**. You can also click **Save** on the **Settings** tab to refresh automatically. ### Can I change the output format? **Yes.** With Elementor, use its styling controls (typography, spacing, borders, etc.), and the widget’s **Before** / **After** text options. With shortcodes, you can wrap output in your own HTML or combine multiple shortcodes to build a sentence. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “One8 Weather Data Fields” is open source software.
