Version 1.3 - November 30th, 2014
Weather Icons is a font of 189 weather themed icons, ready to be dropped right into Bootstrap or any other project.
Inspired by Font Awesome, they work in essentially the same way. They are infinitley scalable and any CSS that can be applied to text can be applied to them. All you need to do to insert an icon is add the base class and the specific icon class to an "i" element:
<i class="wi wi-day-lightning"></i>
At this time, there are no other effects/mixins to do advanced icon manipulation yet.

Getting started is easy. First, put the fonts in the directory ABOVE your css directory. By default, the fonts are referencing a ../fonts/ folder that is on the same level as /css. This can be changed via the @WeatherIconPath variable in variables.less
Include in your main .less file weather-icons/weather-icons.less and that is all you need to do.
It is best to download the repo from Github if you want to keep up to date. Please report any issues or requests to the repository here
If you just want to add a css file to your project with no Less compiling, you just need to reference the weather-icons.css included in the css folder. If you are not familiar with using Bootstrap, or using Bootstrap in the precompiled Less mode, I would recommend you give it a try)
bower install weather-icons
Be sure to reference css when using the icons:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="bower_components/weather-icons/css/weather-icons.min.css">
Umbrella, day-windy, night-alt-cloudy, up-left, down-right, day-sleet, night-sleet, night-alt-sleet, sleet, day-haze.
28 moon phase icons
12 clock icons
13 Beaufort Scale icons
If you feel so inclined to add icon ideas, icon art, or other fixes/changes to how the package works, feel free to help! I'd also love it if someone wanted to make this a component as well for bower, npm, component, etc. No idea how to do that myself (yet).
The icon designs are originally by Lukas Bischoff. Icon art for v1.1 forward, HTML, Less, and CSS are by me (Erik).
None of this would be possible without Bootstrap, Font Awesome and Lukas Bischoff. I just put it all together into a neat package. Cheatsheet provided by Michael Woywod.
