WeatherWrite brings your local weather coverage to the cloud. It automatically captures real conditions and generates posts that highlight yesterday’s recap, today’s forecast, and tomorrow’s outlook — all written in the style you choose. Schedule posts to publish exactly when you want, with automated images matched to the weather. Customize as much as you like, or let WeatherWrite handle the heavy lifting. Your readers get weather that feels personal, and you stay in control while the work gets done for you.

Weather Write


Full transparency, I built this plugin, so take my "review" with a grain of salt. I built WeatherWrite for newspaper publishers. The world of a bustling news room with dozens of writers, phones ringing, and an old grumpy editor smoking a cigar are visions from the past. Today's newsroom is a small group of generalists. No longer do they have days to write an article, but articles to write in a day. I wanted to help relieve some of that stress with WeatherWrite. Publishers can automate the process of generating weather reports automatically. Written in their voice, custom images for their market, and tagged, posted and written how they want. From the very beginning, control was my number 1 most important factor. So, I give you all the control. You can modify everything to fit your publication. 







Thanks for taking a look and if anyone has questions, I'm happy to answer them. Just drop me an email at mike@weatherwrite.com
