No longer works
by mhartste·5 years ago

Confirmed with Zach Katz, since the Weather Underground API changed this plugin is no longer supported.

Too bad. I think it was the only plugin for accessing Weather Underground weather station data.

Discontinued
by DarthTater·6 years ago

As it says. Used to be 5-star.

Don’t Use
by jhaselhofer·7 years ago

Don’t use. WU no longer supports this.

Constantly Not Working
by will1983·7 years ago

Rarely works. Added in several places and I keep getting ‘location not found’ or it is blank even though it was working moments ago.

The layout and design are ok.

Better than most but needs better design
by npappous·7 years ago

This is the best weather plugin out there but that’s not a rining endorsement. Needs design help. Could be much better.
