Weather Hero is a weather forecast widget with a twist. Not only it provides ready made widget to put on your site, but its powerful class gives you the tool to take the Google Weather API where you want to. It parse the xml and returns a well formatted array that can be accessed directly or trimmed down with easy to use methods that returns only the data you need.
It supports GEOIp reference to give your visitor the weather forecast for their location with 0 configuration, taking the information directly from their IP Address!
Since many people ask me this. The geoip service is Free and will always be.
If you don’t like georeferencing you can pass a fixed location to Weather Hero or you can mix the two options together on the same webpage!
Weather Hero supports both celsius and fahrenheit temperature unit of measure with built in conversion functions.
