Meteoprog Weather Widgets allows you to quickly embed free weather informers (widgets) from <a href="https://meteoprog.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Meteoprog</a>.
⚠️ Important: This plugin uses a separate API key for widgets (informers). 
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.

Ventus allows you to easily embed the <a href="https://www.windy.com" rel="nofollow ugc">windy.com</a> widget on your website, in the form of a native WordPress widget (accessible from Appearance > Widgets) or as a simple shortcode.
It is a lightweight plugin built using an object-oriented approach, and follows <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Coding Standards</a>.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Set the overlay to either clouds, CO concentration, currents, radar/lightning, rain, sea temperature, snow cover, standard temperature, waves, wind or wind gusts.</li>
<li>Use either Celsius or Fahrenheit as the temperature scale.</li>
<li>Set the width, height and border-radius using responsive (%) and/or fixed (px) values.</li>
<li>Manually define longitude and latitude for precise location coordinates.</li>
<li>Select the altitude from surface up to 13.5km (effective only when layer is set to wind or temperature).</li>
<li>Choose from 8 levels of zoom (min. 3, max. 11).</li>
<li>Show or hide pressure isolines, the map marker and spot forecast.</li>
<li>Choose from the following wind measurement units: beaufort (bft), kilometers per hour (km/h), knots (kt), meters per second (m/s) and miles per hour (mph).</li>
<li>Choose from the following forecast models: ECMWF, ICON, ICON-EU, GFS and NEMS.</li>
<li>Set the forecast time from now to 12 or 24 hours ahead.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Shortcodes</h4>
The shortcode accepts up to 16 attributes. You can simply use <code>[ventus]</code> and it will work (or the old shortcode <code>[weather-map]</code> which will continue to work), but you will most likely want to customise the remaining attributes yourself.
An example of a fully filled-out shortcode would be:
<pre><code>[ventus width="100%" height="350px" radius="20px" loading="lazy" lat="53.199" lon="-7.603" zoom="4" layer="wind" level="surface" scale="C" units="knots" pressure="true" marker="true" model="ecmwf" forecast="true" time="12"]
</code></pre>
The attributes can be set as follows:
<ul>
<li>The <code>width</code> attribute accepts any valid CSS property for width.</li>
<li>The <code>height</code> attribute accepts any valid CSS property for height.</li>
<li>The <code>radius</code> attribute accepts any valid CSS property for border-radius.</li>
<li>The <code>loading</code> attribute accepts either lazy or eager. The default is lazy loading.</li>
<li>The <code>lat</code> attribute must contain a string of digits to three decimal places, in the range of -90 to +90 (e.g. “53.199”). </li>
<li>The <code>lon</code> attribute must also contain a string of digits to three decimal places, in the range of -180 to +180 (e.g. “-120.894”). </li>
<li>The <code>zoom</code> attribute must contain a number between 3 and 11 (inclusive).</li>
<li>The <code>layer</code> attribute accepts the following values: clouds, cosc (CO concentration), currents, gust, radar, rain, snowcover, sst (sea temperature), temp (standard temperature), waves and wind.</li>
<li>The <code>level</code> attribute (only effective when the layer is wind or temp) accepts the following values: surface, 100m, 950h (600m), 925h (750m), 900h (900m), 850h (1500m), 800h (2000m), 700h (3000m), 600h (4200m), 500h (5500m), 400h (7000m), 300h (9000m), 250h (10000m), 200h (11700m) and 150h (13500m).</li>
<li>The <code>scale</code> attribute accepts either “C” or “F”, defining Celsius and Fahrenheit respectively.</li>
<li>The <code>units</code> attribute accepts the following values: bft (beaufort), km/h (kilometers per hour), kt (knots), m/s (meters per second) and mph (miles per hour).</li>
<li>The <code>pressure</code> attribute can be set to true to display pressure isolines, otherwise the isolines will remain hidden.</li>
<li>The <code>marker</code> attribute can also be set to true, otherwise it will remain hidden.</li>
<li>The <code>forecast</code> attribute can be set to true to display the spot forecast, otherwise it will remain hidden.</li>
<li>The <code>time</code> attribute accepts the following values: now (the default), 12 (12 hours from now) and 24 (24 hours from now).</li>
<li>The <code>model</code> attribute accepts the following values: ecmwf, icon, iconEu, gfs and nems.</li>
</ul>
Note that in the case of an invalid value, a default value will be used instead.
