TK Event Weather

Display beautiful, accurate, and free hourly weather forecasts between a start and end time on the same day. Perfect for event calendars. Includes sunrise, sunset, temperature, wind speed and direction, and is very customizable.

Highlights

• Registers the [tk_event_weather] shortcode for use anywhere on your site (not just for your site calendar’s event-specific information) so its usage is very flexible as long as there is a valid weather API key, latitude, longitude, and time (timestamp or ISO 8601 format)
• Uses the Dark Sky API to provide you with an accurate, reliable (typically 99.9% uptime), and free (or low cost if over the daily free API calls limit) weather forecast
• Uses WordPress’ Transients API to minimize external API calls (i.e. does not call the APIs on every page load) to increase page load time and save you money (or keep you from hitting the free limits)
• Returns temperature (fahrenheit or celsius) in units local to the given latitude and longitude (with option to force display in either unit of measure)
• Internationalized / translatable (translations not provided)
• No WP_DEBUG messages
• Optimized asset loading and API calls
• Actions and filters available for developers to support advanced customizations
• Responsive plugin developer

Notes

• You’ll need to register for a free Dark Sky API key
• Quote from Dark Sky’s website, as of March 31, 2020:
  • Our API service for existing customers is not changing today, but we will no longer accept new signups. The API will continue to function through the end of 2021.
• We’re planning to eventually implement ClimaCell as a weather provider replacement, which is very comparable to the Dark Sky service.
• If you’re out of API calls for the day and you haven’t entered billing information, the plugin will “fail gracefully” (does not display errors to non-Administrators).
• This plugin and its author are not affiliated with or endorsed by The Dark Sky Company, LLC, ClimaCell, Inc., or any of the other plugins mentioned (including ones for which an add-on is available).
• This plugin utilizes Freemius. All data collected via Freemius will be available to both Freemius and this plugin’s author to be used in responsible ways. By opting-in to Freemius, you’ll help us learn how we can make this plugin better and possibly communicate with you regarding the plugin’s development.
