Suggest Tweaks for Weather plug-in

Here are some of the screenshots for the Weather2 plugin. This is just in alpha at the moment, and I may redo some of the layouts. Especially the forecast popup, I personally just don't like the way it turned out. I may have it load up a different screen with the details.

Current conditions:


Forecast list:


Forecast details popup:


Regional radar:

Weather2 currently only supports one location though. Multi-location wasn't big on my to do list.

This is a thing I use more often, I have our home set up and then I have had a couple of other locations set up (where we use to go for weekend outings). It would really be nice if that could get implemented, perhaps not at once but at least as a coming feature?

I'm all for any updates to the Weather plug-in, especially if the Radar animation can be made to start a lot closer to current time than the current one does.

A question/suggestion about the Five Day Forecast: Your sample page shows information for 2 1/2 days but the bottom of the screen indicates page 1/10. This doesn't seem consistent.

How about formatting the Five Day forecast more like the current weather plugin but show the Day forecast and Night forecast between the Hi and Low temperature with the Day's forecast on the first line and the night's on the second line.

I can put it on the to-do list...

The "5 day forecast list" actually shows 5 full days, day and night, hence the 1/10 at the bottom. So the next day forecast would actually show 3/10. It's probably confusing because I don't have the arrows implemented to show you can scroll up or down in the list, but it does do that.

I had assumed that the user would scroll to get the rest of the forecast. What threw me was the numbering. Apparently, it indicates how far into the half day forecasts the display begins. Generally the standard for paging is to indicate the number of pages (i.e. screens) rather than the index into the items on the screens. It's just a minor point.

I look forward to when you get to the point of beta testing so we can begin to use it.

That is good enough for me :-)

Hour by Hour would be fantastic if you can do that! Our weather changes literally by the minute

Unfortunately, this would require scraping each screen. I don't want to do this because if they change the layout of the site, or even one tiny detail, the plugin could stop working.

Thats kinda why I wonder why the plugin is never developed around NOAA. Not that it give hour-to-hour, but that the site seems to never change. Keep up the good work!
