Hi Thorsten,

 Hi everybody,

 recently I wanted to add a weather forecast to my org-agenda. I found
 org-google-weather, but this package is obsolete since 2012, because the
 API is not available any more. So I wrote my own version which is backed
 by the openweathermap.org API.

 I implemented the minimal usecase which works for me, if somebody else
 dares to use it, its available here:

 https://github.com/kautsig/org-weather

 Nice, thank you, never made org-google-weather, but this works
 out-of-the-box:

   ,-
   | City: Weather: light rain, 10.43°C - 17.58°C
   `-

 A few suggestions wrt

[...]

 - why not use (round ...) for the temperature data, 10-17°C would be
   more than accurate enough?

I added this. Additionally I removed the temperature unit being
displayed twice, this was unnecessary and looks much nicer in the format
you suggested.

 - why not include city/country info in the weather string? I added

   * Weather
 :PROPERTIES:
 :CATEGORY: City
 :END:
   %%(org-weather)

   to get the above, but it would be much better to take the return
   values for city/country and include them in the weather string, to
   make sure one did not mess up the configuration and gets the weather
   from another place than expected.

Also thought about this, but I think I will go with the method which was
also used in org-google-weather. It looks like:

* Weather
%%(org-google-weather New York)

This is much simpler for me, as I'm not so familiar with lisp and the
org-mode api. But I'll have to change the data structure for caching the
data a bit, so it might take a while.

 - maybe make the whole thing a bit customizable by adding a few
   defcustoms, so the user can decide which info he wants to print in the
   agenda

   the return string looks like this, there are many options:

[...]

I improved result processing a little bit and added a formatting string
(org-weather-format). You can now also add different temperature fields,
as well as humidity, pressure and wind speed.

Chris

It uses the exchange webservices (ews).

There are lots of things that could be added, but I thought I'd share it

Thanks for sharing this, I've added a link to Worg:
