Description

Allows you to easily embed Australian weather forecast and observation data on your website.

Data is provided in the form of a WeatherZone.com.au button.

Supports both weather forecast and current weather observations buttons.

Requires no knowledge of JavaScript, and is compatible with WordPress Multisite.

To use this plugin, add a [weatherzone] shortcode to a page or text widget on your website:

eg. [weatherzone mode="a" postcode="b" locality="c" showradar="d"]

Description of parameters:

mode

Specifies which type of weather button to add.

Valid values for the mode parameter are:

currentweather: (default) Current Weather Observation button
forecast: Weather forecast button

postcode

The postcode of your desired location to show weather data for.

Required: Yes

locality

You may also add a locality parameter if you wish. This is recommended as it will ensure that your closest weather station is provided.

For example if you wanted the current weather for Shenton Park to appear in your page, your script call would look like this:

[weatherzone mode="currentweather" postcode="6008" locality="Shenton Park"]

where 6008 is the postcode for Shenton Park.

showradar

Whether or not to display a link to the weather radar below the weather button.

Valid values for the showradar parameter are:

true: (default) Yes, display the link
false: No, do not display the link

See the WordPress WeatherZone Embed Plugin home page for further information.

It is a weatherzone button and nothing else. Very ugly and old school. I want a simple 3 day forecast that has accurate weather for my postcode and that I can style to suit my site but apparently that is a big ask if you live in Australia. Having said that at least this appears accurate except I can't change the label to be my actual suburb.
