This a module for the MagicMirror. This module shows a 3 day forecast (today, tomorrow and the day after) using the Open Weather API. It displays the overall weather condition, highest temperature, likely-hood of rain, average humidity, highest windspeed and its direction forecast. Todays forecasts the conditions over the next few hours and the Tomorrow and Day After forecasts are based on the conditions around the middle of the day. This is designed to compliment the MMM-Weather-Now module.
Note: This module used to use Open Weather but they reduced the free calls :-( As of May 2024 the module has migrated to using the Weather API. The only thing you should need to change in the config is your api_key
(See below).
- Navigate into your MagicMirror's

I hope you like this module, I know it duplicates many other weather modules, however I missed my home-brew mirrors weather information so I recreated it for MM2. Feel free to submit pull requests or post issues and I'll do my best to respond.
- Michael Teeuw for the MagicMirror2 framework that made this module possible.
- WeatherAPI for the helpful guides and information they publish on their API.
