What it is
Shows current weather conditions and an optional multi-day forecast for a chosen location, powered by Open-Meteo.
Config fields
| Field | What it controls | Example |
|---|
| Location | Search by city name and select from the dropdown. The widget stores coordinates internally — you see the place name but the actual config holds latitude/longitude. | London, England, GB |
| Units | Temperature unit: Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F). | Celsius (°C) |
| Display style | Layout: Full (current conditions + forecast), Compact (current conditions only), or Minimal (icon + temperature only). | Full |
| Show feels like | Adds the “feels like” temperature alongside the actual temperature. | enabled |
| Show humidity | Adds relative humidity to the current-conditions section. | enabled |
| Show wind speed | Adds wind speed to the current-conditions section. | enabled |
| Forecast days | Number of forecast days to show (slider). Visible only when Display style is “Full”. | 5 |
Common pitfalls
- Location search requires at least 2 characters. Typing a single letter shows no results. Start typing the city name and wait ~350 ms for the dropdown to appear.
- Coordinates stored, not city name. If a city is renamed or the geocoding service returns different coordinates for the same query, re-select the location to update the stored lat/lng.
- Open-Meteo data availability. Open-Meteo covers most of the world, but very remote locations may return incomplete forecasts. The widget degrades gracefully (fewer forecast days shown).
- Feels like / humidity / wind. These fields are hidden in Compact and Minimal display styles regardless of the toggle state.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Try |
|---|
| No results in location search | Type at least 2 characters; check your network connection. |
| Wrong city displayed | Re-search and re-select the correct city from the dropdown — don’t edit the stored name directly. |
| Forecast not showing | Set Display style to “Full” and ensure Forecast days is greater than 0. |
| Temperature looks wrong | Confirm “Units” is set to your preferred scale (Celsius vs Fahrenheit). |
