<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.
