 * Well I tested
    A) start and end the same: [https://cl.ly/3J0g3j381n34](https://cl.ly/3J0g3j381n34)
 * > [tk_event_weather lat_long=36.7084888,-94.4672261 start_time=2017-10-28T18:
   > 00:00-05:00 end_time=2017-10-28T18:00:00-05:00]
 * and
    B) end time only 1 second later than start time: [https://cl.ly/2g0r3X2u2l0d](https://cl.ly/2g0r3X2u2l0d)
 * > [tk_event_weather lat_long=36.7084888,-94.4672261 start_time=2017-10-28T18:
   > 00:00-05:00 end_time=2017-10-28T18:00:01-05:00]
 * so the answer is “no” as of right now.
 * Since this shortcode’s purpose is to display weather for an event, I’d imagine
   it’s pretty typical that displaying extra hours of weather information would 
   typically be acceptable, since events are usually more than just at a moment 
   in time (like a single hour’s display).
 * However, my initial thought is that I could enable something like this:
    `end_time
   =same`

   > 00:00-05:00 end_time=same]
 * If End Time is the “same” on purpose, then display just the start hour’s weather.
 * Please let me know your thoughts on this.

 * indeed multiple hours worth of output is what im after ultimately. however im
   just not sure i need an hour-by-hour forecast as itll chew up a lot of space.
   the event im currently using ur plugin for starts in the early evening and goes
   until the last person is too drunk to stand upright (or even sit in a chair for
   that matter).
 * so i was thinking about a 6pm, 9pm and 12am report. however, thats three calls
   to the api if implemented as we’re currently thinking. perhaps an additional 
   shortcode parameter along the lines of “interval” might be better? that way its
   one api call but the plugin filters the output based on the specified interval
   parameter.
 * though in my case it would still be 2 api calls, as im needing output for midnight
   too. and i would need the “same” method u speak of to achieve my lone midnight
   forecast. a shame u cant span days in a single call…

 * Neat real-world scenario. Thanks for sharing.
 * You could use CSS to hide the ones you don’t want, such as:
 * > .tk-event-weather__wrapper.my-class .template-hourly_horizontal__item:nth-of-
   > type(3n) {
   >  background: red; }
 * Example: [https://cl.ly/3t2C1W3B2A3M](https://cl.ly/3t2C1W3B2A3M)
 * Replace `.my-class` with the class you use in the shortcode or just remove it
   entirely if you want all shortcodes throughout your site to behave this way.
 * And, of course, replace `background: red;` with `display: none;` once you’re 
   sure your nth-of-type is working how you want it… for that, reference [https://css-tricks.com/how-nth-child-works/](https://css-tricks.com/how-nth-child-works/)
 * ===
 * Regarding one shortcode / API call per day… that’s the way their API works; it’s
   not a limitation created by this plugin.
 * They told me multi-day API calls might be coming soon, but their pricing (each
   day counting as the usage of 1 API call) was expected to be roughly unchanged…
   therefore it’s just a wait and see thing right now.
 * ===
 * Let me know if this answers your question.
 * Also, can I ask which event calendar you’re using?

 * had to change the css around to acheive displaying 6, 9 and 12. probably a more
   elegant way of doing it, by i know just enough to be dangerous.

 * im using no event calendar for this site as its only purpose is to promote a 
   single event. for my other sites ive used timely’s in the past, but am transitioning
   to modern tribe’s as ive found a conflict with timely’s and contact form 7 that
   neither party seems interested in fixing.

 * Great job!
 * It’d be better if you add `darksky_credit_link_off='true'` in your 2nd shortcode.
 * The Events Calendar by Modern Tribe is one of the best. In fact, I do support
   for them. 🙂
 * Disclaimer: my paid add-on for this plugin for their calendar is from me and 
   has nothing to do with them

 * ahh, yes. i added that after i posted. however, i did so on the first shortcode
   instead of the second. does it make any difference?

 * No, it’s up to your personal preference.
 * I hope it works well for you! 🙂
