@saxnpaule Just for Information:
“To improve our services and enhance our relationship with our users, we will no longer provide free weather API keys as part of our program. If you have been directed to download our Weather Underground free API key by a third party provider, please contact your vendor for resolution.”
Fuck, that’s really bad.
Does anyone knows a free alternative?

There are several alternatives which are less fancy, i.e. they don’t provide a nice UI. Maybe it is possible write a generic plugin which contains the HTML code similar to what wunderground has to render weather data from variables. This way user can choose the data source they want, e.g. METAR, DWD, OpenWeather, or a home weather station.

Some time ago I found a script for homepages which can be used without API key to get the current values.Unfortunately without forecast.
I found it here: http://www.meteotemplate.com/web/extras.php
Can i propose Darksky?
They have a free API (up to 1000 calls per day) and some extensive documentation (and libraries!)

Thank you. I’ll have a look later.
