Meteoprog Weather Widgets allows you to quickly embed free weather informers (widgets) from <a href="https://meteoprog.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Meteoprog</a>.

It is NOT the same as the Meteoprog Weather API key. 
Informer API keys are always free and have no usage limits. 
You can create new informers here: <a href="https://billing.meteoprog.com/informer?utm_source=wp-plugin&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=meteoprog-weather-widgets" rel="nofollow ugc">https://billing.meteoprog.com/informer</a>.

<h3>Privacy</h3>
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).
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.
This plugin adds a suggested section to WordPress’s default Privacy Policy page, explaining what data is transmitted when widgets are displayed.

<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to the Meteoprog services to display widgets.
<ol>
<li>
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).
</li>
<li>
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.

No personal data is collected or stored by the plugin itself.

<h4>GENERAL</h4>
The weather data for this widget will be retrieved from the <a href="https://openweathermap.org/api" rel="nofollow ugc">OpenWeatherMap API</a> with your own API key.
<h4>OPENWEATHERMAP API</h4>
⚠️ Important Note: OpenWeatherMap has transitioned from version One Call API 2.5 to the new One Call API 3.0. 
As of now, usage of the API is no longer possible without adding valid billing information (e.g. a credit card) to your OpenWeatherMap account – even for the free tier.
This means that the Weather Widget will not work anymore unless: 
– you switch to the new One Call 3.0 API, and 
– you have a valid payment method on file in your OpenWeatherMap account.
🔒 Recommendation: 
To avoid unexpected charges, it is highly recommended to set a billing cap / usage limit in your OpenWeatherMap account under <a href="https://home.openweathermap.org/plans" rel="nofollow ugc">Billing Plans</a> after adding a payment method.
For pricing details and limits, visit: <a href="https://openweathermap.org/price" rel="nofollow ugc">Pricing – OpenWeatherMap</a>
<h4>INPUT DATA</h4>
You can show the weather for a CITY (input data: city name) or for specific COORDINATES (input data: latitude & longitude coordinates) in the widget.
<h4>PLACEMENT/SHORTCODE</h4>
The weather widget can be implemented in a page, a post or into the widget area with the help of the shortcode [weather_forecast_widget]. Furthermore you´ll be able to pass different attributes to each shortcode to override your settings for this widget placement (e.g. manage widget title with an shortcode attribute).
<h4>TEMPLATES</h4>
Currently you can choose 3 templates for the widget. 
* Template 1 
 * Current day´s weather with a weather forecast for the next 3 days 
* Template 2 
 * Template 2 uses Bootstrap! 
 * Current day´s weather with an hourly weather forecast and a weather forecast for the next 3 days 
* Template 3 
 * Template 3 uses Bootstrap! 
 * Weather for the current day and for the next 7 days, each with an hourly weather forecast and a weather forecast for the next 3 days 
* Alert Template 1 
 * Alert Template 1 uses Bootstrap! 
 * Active weather alerts
<h4>BACKGROUND IMAGE</h4>
For this widget, you´ll be able to choose your own background image. Either you set a static background image in the widget settings or you choose the dynamic variant (thumbnail of the page/post, where the shortcode is placed) will be used as a background image.
<h4>WEATHER DATA</h4>
In addition to the daily weather forecast, an hourly weather forecast can also be displayed in the widget. Both the daily and hourly weather forecast can be collapsed.
<h4>WEATHER ALERTS</h4>
The weather widget also shows weather alerts. These alerts are dismissable.
<h4>WEATHER ICONS</h4>
In the widget you´ll find awesome and beautiful weather icons. In the plugins settings page you can choose which weather icons you want to use for the widget. 
* Animated Icons Filled 
* Animated Icons Not Filled 
* Static Icons
<h4>LAZY LOADING</h4>
You have the possibility to load the widget with lazy loading (ajax) to load the data only when necessary.
<h4>CACHING</h4>
Nowadays caching is an important topic. This weather forecast widget makes it possible to cache the received weather data for the next visitor, who will visit your website page/post next time. You´ll be able to set your desired caching time in the settings (caching time possible up to 1 hour => this should ensure that the weather data in the widget is as current as possible). With this caching possibility you´ll also save API calls.
