To everyone please note that **this plugin has been discontinued**

[willasm]

I just want to inform everyone that this plugin in being discontinued. Open Weather has discontinued the API 2.5 on which this plugin is based. I have however created a new plugin using the Visual Crossing Weather API and it follows the same basic approach to representing the weather as this plugin did so it should be relatively easy to move over to the new plugin. While it is still in development it is almost 100% functional. The documentation however is almost non existent but the list of available macros is complete and is in a nicely formatted table for better viewing. I hope to have it published soon as it is very close to being completed. If you want to try it before it is released you can find it on Github here.

The API was actually supposed to be discontinued 3 weeks ago but it is still returning data but that could end at any time now. I am glad it has continued to work for as long as it has as that has given me the time to nearly complete the new plugin. The updated README.md for this plugin has more details and you should have a quick read of that as well. Here is a quick peek of what is new in the new plugin...

• I have increased the number of locations to fetch weather for from 1 to 5
• I have doubled the number of templates available from 4 to 8
• There is now 2 status bar strings available and displaying them can be optionally cycled between them every 30 seconds
  • The default strings are todays weather information for the first one and tomorrows weather information for the second one.
• There are currently 3767 macros for the weather information available
  • This will rise dramatically once I start adding the hourly data
  • The documented list of all available macros is available in a nicely formatted and easy to read table
  • This is actually the only completed documentation I have at the moment, the rest will be available very soon
• All the data for the current weather, todays weather, and the next 14 days is already available in the new plugin

If anyone has any requests, ideas or suggestions now is the time to post them while the plugin is still in development. Feel free to post your suggestions on the new plugins issues page or here if you like. However please note that at some point after the Open Weather API 2.5 stops working I will be removing this repo from Github. Once again, here are the links to the new plugins repo...

Thank you to everyone that has used this plugin over the past couple of years, William McKeever
