Thx for adding the 'celsius' version. Someone should add a 'celsius' boolean argument that allows the scripts to be merged into a single XML file.

How is this going to work for locations outside US? As far as I can see the ZIP code will work only for US.
Thanks

Good question. It appears that AccuWeather only supports US locations. Maybe there is another widget with better international support? If so, let me know.

Hi thanks for the quick response.
AccuWeather seems to have international forecast as well. The link below will give weather forecast for London UK, maybe is just a matter of modifying the extension so it will work with it (just a suggestion as I don not know if this can be accomplished)

Also the widget below looks good

The AccuWeather has been updated so that you can stipulate Celsius and so that you can include cities outside of the US. To do so you would put the loccode found in the script in as the zip code. Example: if you want to have the AccuWeather for London it would look like this: {{ accuweather.weather("EUR|UK|UK241|LONDON") }}

I'm getting cities outside of the US working no problem but I can't get Celsius to work. I've been tried using Celsius or celsius the values 1, 0, true, false etc.

Any advice? Thanks for this great extension.

Try the following sample: {{ accuweather.weather("92101", true) }} Replace the zip code with your city
