About

This product makes available a portlet with current weather conditions given a NWS weather station ID and forecast for multiple days into the future given a ZIP code. There is support for multiple locations for the same Plone Site, each with its own portlet and forecast page.

It only works in the United States.

  • Add a new weather location profile.
  • Station names can be found here
  • Interval is the number of seconds between refreshes. 3600 is recommended.
