<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>This plugin itself does not collect or store any personal data. However, when the widget is displayed on the frontend, visitors’ browsers load the widget script from the Meteoprog CDN, which receives standard request information (IP address, User-Agent, Referrer).</p>
<p>The CDN may also set technical cookies required for content delivery or security. These cookies are managed by Meteoprog and are subject to their privacy policy.</p>
<p>This plugin adds a suggested section to WordPress’s default Privacy Policy page, explaining what data is transmitted when widgets are displayed.</p>

<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the Meteoprog services to display widgets.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>https://billing.meteoprog.com — used by the plugin to fetch your informer list via a secure API request (Authorization header with your informer API key and site domain).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>https://cdn.meteoprog.net — the visitor’s browser loads a small JavaScript file from the Meteoprog CDN to render the widgets. As with any CDN, the visitor’s IP address and browser information are transmitted as part of the HTTPS request. This is standard browser behavior.</p>

<p>No personal data is collected or stored by the plugin itself.</p>

<p><strong>OWM Weather</strong> is derived from the discontinued plugin WP Cloudy. It uses many of the same settings but is completely separate.</p>
<p>OWM Weather is a flexible and easy-to-use weather plugin that allows the creation of unlimited different Weathers using Custom Post Types and the Open Weather Map API.</p>
<p>Create a Weather, select your location, choose the data and customize the look and feel with a few clicks.</p>
<p>Embed it anywhere with the automatically generated shortcode via copy and paste in posts, pages, text widgets, or directly in the PHP files of your theme.</p>
<p>With Custom Post Types, you minimize the maintenance: Override certain settings in the system setup and thereby change all Weather posts automatically.</p>
<p>Check out the documentation, layout examples and comparisons at the <a href="https://ujsoftware.com/owm-weather-blog/" rel="nofollow ugc">OWM Weather Blog</a>.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<h4>Weather information</h4>
<p>Current weather conditions, alerts, hourly up to 48 hours and daily up to 7 days.</p>
<h4>Completely customizable</h4>
<p>Data items can be selected and styled individually. Pick your measurement system, time format, and zone. Choose from several templates, fonts, or icon sets.<br />
Developers have access through custom templates to the raw Open Weather Map data – converted to the selected measurement system, time format, and zone – to build a completely customized layout. A built-in debug template shows all options, data, and generated Html snippets.</p>
<h4>Shortcode Placement</h4>
<p>Use via Gutenberg block, as a widget or via shortcode in content and/or sidebar. Multiple completely different kinds of Weather can be shown on the same page.</p>
<h4>Weather Location</h4>
<p>The worldwide location can be specified by the OWM city id (available for over 200,000 cities), the city/country name via dynamic search, the zip code, the latitude/longitude, or the IP address of the user (geolocation).</p>
<h4>Unlimited weathers</h4>
<p>OWM Weather uses WordPress Custom Post Types which allows for an unlimited number of weathers.</p>
<h4>Multisite</h4>
<p>Turn on the global setup mode and share your network setup and main site weather definitions throughout the network.</p>
<h4>Weather-based Backgrounds</h4>
<p>Define up to 7 different background colors, images or videos depending on the weather condition.</p>
<h4>Cache system</h4>
<p>Weather data is cached at a frequency defined by you. The data is then loaded from your server and you no longer depend on external sources. This avoids slowdowns and blocked page rendering.</p>
<h4>Open Weather Map API</h4>
<p>OWM Weather retrieves the weather information from the Open Weather Map website, a free weather data and forecast API. Get your free API key to avoid running into call limits. Note: It can take several hours before your API key is activated by OWM.</p>
<h4>Dashboard Weather</h4>
<p>You can include OWM Weather in your WordPress Dashboard as a widget.</p>
<h4>Flat & Retina responsive design</h4>
<p>Minimalist and flat responsive design, fully vectorial (SVG/CSS/Webfont), for a perfect display on all devices.</p>
<h4>Options panel</h4>
<p>Do you want to apply configuration settings globally? With our system options panel, you can bypass each setting on all weathers in just a few clicks. A weather page can opt-out of this bypass to ensure it always looks the same.</p>
<h4>Google Tag Manager</h4>
<p>Weather information (current temperature, cloudiness, short description, and category) can be pushed to the Google Tag Manager data layer to analyze web traffic by the weather.</p>
<h4>No ads. Free</h4>
<p>Our plugin will never display any advertising on your site. Did we mention it’s a free WordPress plugin? We kindly ask for a donation should you like the plugin.</p>

OWM Weather

Very well done. I would like the author to re-examine the template system to allow an indeterminate amount of templates, and custom template directories.

Excellent Plugin

It is a plugin with many options and very configurable. I had a problem with the Spanish translations and the technical support solved it in record time with a plugin update.

Thanks uwe!

Good plugin and good support

OWM Weather is a powerful weather plugin for WordPress, based on the Open Weather Map API. It uses custom post types and shortcodes, and much more.
