there is a 'description' field in the forecast database that contains exactly this kind of information (at least, it is supposed to :) i supposed that would be the absolute baseline case of using the forecast extension. the forecast service would download the forecast data once every 4 hours (that is how often the forecasts actually change). then you could simply do $forecast.description to get the text for the next forecast period. one of my intents with the forecast extension is that a weewx-generated web site should not *have* to have embedded iframes or other links to web services; it should be possible to make the weewx-generated pages completely self-sufficient. (part of this rationale comes from many of my use cases, where network accessibility and reliability are poor) m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
