This is a new version of the weather forecast module for MagicMirror. This one does not come as a default module. This version has been edited to allow the days of the week to span left to right, each with its own weather icon and details. Icons used in this module were created by:
VClouds Weather Icons Created and copyrighted by VClouds - http://vclouds.deviantart.com/
The icons are free to use for Non-Commercial use and can be found at icons DA page - http://vclouds.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2ynulp
Note: You will need to move the "icon" folder, included in this project, to the 'MagicMirror/css/' directory if you want to use the included icons. If you wish to use your own icons place them in the 'icon' folder in place of the desired icon.
This module displays the weather forecast for the coming week, including an an icon to display the current conditions, the minimum temperature and the maximum temperature.
To use this module, add it to the modules array in the config/config.js file:
modules: [
{
module: "MMM-weatherforecast",
position: "top_right", // This can be any of the regions.
// Best results in bottom_bar region due to horizontal default layout and icon sizes.
