Documentation

WeatherWidget.io provides an easy, interactive interface which you can use to build and customize a weather widget for any website. Following you can find a description for all available fields of this interface.

SettingDescription
Select Location

Search for the location for which you would like a weather widget. The location can be a country, city, village or area.

Required: Yes

Location Label 1

The first line of the label, e.g. the name of location. You can type anything you like, but try to keep it short (preferably less than 15 characters)

Required: No

Location Label 2

The second line of the label. You can type anything you like, but try to keep it short (preferably less than 15 characters)

Required: No

Language

The language of the weather widget. 20 languages currently supported.

Required: Yes

Units

You can select either International units (SI) with temperatures shown in degrees Celsius, or USA units with temperatures shown in degrees Fahrenheit.

Required: Yes Default: International

OptionDescription
Font

Select a font for the widget. Two types of fonts are available: (1) Stacks with 'web safe' font-families, i.e. fonts that are usually found on most operating systems, and (2) Google fonts. For the 'web safe' fonts only the first font of the stack is shown and if a user doesn't have installed on his/her system this font, then a fallback will be used.

Required: No Default: Tahoma

Icon Set

Three different icon sets are currently available. They are all SVG and will therefore always look sharp. One of the icon sets is animated.

Required: No Default: Iconvault

Current / Forecast

The weather widget can display the current weather, a weather forecast for the next few days, or both the current weather and the weather forecast.

Required: No Default: Both

Forecast Days

The number of days to be shown in the weather forecast (not applicable when only the current weather is displayed)

Required: No Default: 7

Theme TypeDescription
Flat

Themes made exclusively with flat colors. No gradients and no images are used. All colors can be customized in the 'Customize' tab.

Gradient

A gradient is used on the background of these themes. You can change the color of the gradient by changing the 'Background' color in the 'Customize' tab. By adjusting the opacity of the 'Background' color you can show more or less of the gradient effect.

Pattern

A small repeating image is used as the background of these themes. Adding a 'Background' color in the 'Customize' tab will hide the background image but you can still add a 'Background' color with a lower opacity to create a 'colorize' effect over the image pattern.

Image

A large image is used as the background of these themes. Adding a 'Background' color in the 'Customize' tab will hide the background image but you can still add a 'Background' color with a lower opacity to create a 'colorize' effect over the image.

Weather Conditions

A single 'Weather Conditions' theme is currently available. This displays a different background image and colors according to the current weather. Please note that you can not customize the colors of this theme.

Color nameDescription
All

The colors can be set by either typing any valid color in an input field, or by clicking the color swatch next to the field and selecting a color using the color picker. Note that the rightmost column on the color picker selects the opacity.

Background

The background color of the widget. With an image based theme the background color is usually removed so that the image behind it can be seen. You can also make the background, semi-transparent by lowering its opacity in order to blend and colorize whatever lies behind it.

Required: No Default: None

Accent

This is the color background for all the odd forecast day columns (i.e. 1, 3, 5, 7). Setting this to a color (e.g. black or white) with low opacity makes it easy to blend the accent with the background color.

Required: No Default: None

Text

The text color is used for the location labels, the current temperature, the current weather description and the day names. It is also used as the default color for all text and icon colors.

Required: No Default: #000000 (black)

High Temp

The color for the high temperature.

Required: No Default: Text color

Low Temp

The color for the low temperature.

Required: No Default: Text color

Shadow

The color for the drop shadow behind text and icons. This is sometimes useful to visually separate the text and icons from the background (most useful when the background is an image or when text and icons have a similar color to the background)

Required: No Default: none

Sun / Thunder

The color of the sun and the thunder in the icons.

Required: No Default: Text color

Moon

The color of the moon in the icons.

Required: No Default: Text color

Cloud / Fog / Wind

The color of the cloud, fog and wind icons.

Required: No Default: Text color

Cloud Fill

Required: No Default: Text color

Rain

The color of the rain drops in the icons.

Required: No Default: Text color

Snow / Hail

The color for the snow and hail in the icons.

Required: No Default: Text color

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on March 24, 2021) follows:

We understand service outages or breakage are pretty common. But when an outage ends up concerning a massive user base, it becomes worth highlighting.

Something similar is happening with the BBC Weather app at the time of writing this. In the past few hours, there has been a proliferation of reports saying that the BBC Weather app is down and not working.

Take a look at what some of the complainants have to say:

My bbc weather app still not working. Any further updates? (Source)

Bbc Weather Forecast

#BBCWeather Your app is down on my Android. (Source)

Never realised how routinely I check the BBC Weather app till just now, cos it’s not working lool (Source)

As you can see from the reports above, many users aren’t able to check the weather on the BBC app as the app throws a message that the forecast is not available.

Fortunately, there’s nothing to worry about since the BBC Weather team has officially acknowledged the issue on Twitter.

Now that BBC Weather has officially confirmed that they are working on fixing the app, it shouldn’t be long before you are able to view the weather forecast on the BBC Weather app as usual.

It’s worth pointing out that the app was last updated in October 2020 according to details on the Google Play Store.

That said, we’re keeping a close watch on the service provider’s social media channels for more information regarding the problem.

We’ll share with you the relevant developments as and when we bump into any. So keep tabs on this space for the latest info on the matter.

Update 1 (March 24)

06:23 pm (IST): A few users have taken to Twitter to confirm that the application has started working as usual on their devices. The fix has been made on the server-end hence you won’t have to update the app.

BBC weather app is back folks (Source)

Thank goodness. BBC weather app working again. I felt lost without it! Thank you (Source)

Thank you @bbcweather Your app appears to be up and running again. (Source)

Working again thanks! Oh nice day better go out (Source)

BBC Weather has not yet shared any official updates on the matter except for confirming the issue as we mentioned above.

Update 2 (March 25)

11:23 am (IST): As it turns out, the BBC Weather app still isn’t working for some users even after updating the WebView and Chrome apps which has been the cause for app crashes these past couple of days.

My BBC weather app worked briefly today but it’s dead again. @bbcweather how do I get it back? Or should I give up and get another app? (Source)

Although, some say that the app began working as usual after updating the Google Chrome and Android System WebView apps, and thus we’d suggest installing the latest updates for the two apps regardless.

Sorted ! Go to Google play store. Click on the three lines top left. Go to my apps & games & update android system webview. The BBC weather app then works as before. (Source)

Nevertheless, if you are looking out for alternatives to the BBC Weather app, then we’ve got you covered. Here are some free Weather apps for Android:

1. Today Weather
2. AccuWeather
3. Appy Weather
4. 1Weather
5. Overdrop
