== Introduction == {\|align=right \|__TOC__ \|} ''CumulusUtils'' has a minimal forecast module. Every weather site must have some kind of forecasting so the choice has been made to take four different existing possibilities and present the forecast of the users choice. It is not a true forecasting system. == Inifile parameters == [Forecasts] ForecastSystem=~~SpotWx~~CUtils (default, other possibilities: ~~Yourweather~~SpotWx, Norway, WxSim) ~~SevenDayPredictionURL=~~ NorwegianURL= WXsimURL= == Inner working == === ~~SpotWx~~CUtils ==== It uses the Open Meteo forecast for the ''ECMWF IFS HRES 9km'' model and charts the resulting data, there is no table display. === ~~Yourwether~~SpotWx ===▼ When setting the ''ForecastSystem'' to '''SpotWx''', the prediction for the latitude and longitude of the station is fetched and displayed in an iframe.<br> The iframe is formed as: <nowiki><iframe src='{SpotwxPredictionURL}' frameborder='0' style='border: 0; width:100%; height: 75vh;'></iframe></nowiki> and written to the output file. ▲=== Yourwether === ~~When setting the ''ForecastSystem'' to '''Yourweather''', the user must have:~~ ~~#Go to yourweather.co.uk~~ ~~#Scroll down until you see (in a bordered block): “API - Access to xml”;~~ ~~#Click on it, register, and follow the instructions;~~ ~~#Once on the API page, choose your location;~~ ~~#Choose the XML API, address 1: “Address 1: XML file with the 7-day forecast and general daily information”;~~ #Fill in that link, in the ''cumlusutils.ini'' for the parameter: ''SevenDayPredictionURL''. In the section [Forecast]. You may have to run ''CumulusUtils'' with the argument Forecast one time to see that parameter. When ''CumulusUtils'' is run with the argument forecast, it fetched the corresponding XML with the ECMWF model forecast and reworks that into a table and written to the outputfile. The icons the user installed in CUicons are used. === Norway === When setting the ''ForecastSystem'' to '''WxSim''', the WXsimURL is used to display in an iframe.<br> The iframe is formed as: <nowiki><iframe src='{WxsimPredictionURL}' frameborder='0' style='border: 0;width:100%; height: 75vh;'></iframe></nowiki> and written to the output file.
