WordPress widget: WX Weather

recently i’ve completed work on my first (public) WordPress Widget – WX Weather.

it was a bit of a passion project – something that fascinates me (besides web design and development) is weather. i’ve been a weather geek and a member of the Weather Underground website for quite some time.

Weather Underground combines conditions and forecasts from the National Weather Service, with data being collected by enthusiasts using Personal Weather Stations.

that includes data from my own PWS – you can see that here at my weather station conditions page.

while there are already lots of weather plugins for WordPress, gathering data from the NWS, Weather.com, Accuweather.com, etc. i wanted to design one that was specifically for PWS owners to display their own data.

read more about installing and configuring it on the plugin page, or see it in action at my personal blog, mikeyboy.com.
