vbWeather... 5 day forecast?

spiceman · 09-02-2006, 06:24 PM

Is there anyway to have an option to show the 5day forecast?

There is, but that is a major addition planned for the future. I have yet to decide on how I would want to do that.

I may just have that as a page in the usercp or something.

Heck, just a day or two would be good. Although the current weather is nice, I pretty much know that. What I'm more interested in is what will it be like a day or two from now? Would be nice if it could be done & displayed in a single horizontal bar as you now have it. Even if it's just a few icons for indicators for sun, t-showers, etc.

Can't do that. There is a minimum requirement that has to be viewable to use weather.com services.

5-day forecast something like this:

Weather for Dallas, TX

Shouldn't be too difficult to display it in that bar instead, or have the option to display either one.

So are there other providers (besides weather.com) that do allow one to do this? I ask, because even GOOGLE shows you the current day and the next day on their search page now.(see attached)

I look forward to installing this when permissions permit!

I really cannot wait to install this mod, I know my car club will love it. Would it be possible to integrate into a calendar I wonder?

I tripped across AccuWeather Products and Services and they offer several different graphics and multi-day forecasts. If weather.com won't allow it, you might find other weather services that will.

Weather.com allows it and it's free. You just have a minimum of what is viewable. Read the TOS and potential cost of some of those. Also, most of them offer raw data xml only. Weather.com reads them and breaks it down for us. This saves us a ton of resources doing that with every update. Also, most of them don't offer you any way to find city codes.

I didn't create this in the dark you know.

I do appreciate the input though. Forcasts are coming in the future.
