We don't know the answer to that. Time will tell.

Hi,jsmorley

So you personally cannot do anything about this?? I am sorry if I prey on your privacy,but did you ever email Weather.com regarding Rainmeter with its weather service?? I mean,lots of Rainmeter skins heavily relied on Weather.com to render the effect.

This is not about weather.com, it's an API service called wxdata, and I have no visibility into that. It is what it is...

My question related to The Weather Channel as provider for the weather skins is if there is any way to get the temperatures in either Celsius or Fahrenheit in the skins? I saw the setting available on the site and it does work, however I can't figure out a way to get the temperatures in Celsius in the skin.
So, is there any solution?
Thank you.

You need to pass a "language" as a part of the URL. The unit(s) of measure are automatic, based on the language.

So if you use a language where the country of the language uses metric, the data will be metric.

While on the website you can force a mismatch, like setting the country to US and the units to C, that won't work when parsing the site via a URL.

Code: Select all

LocationCode=USVA0944

; If another language or unit(s) of measures are desired, simply go to https://weather.com/
; Using the controls at the top of the page, set your country and units of measure as desired.
; Copy and enter the Language from the resulting URL.

; For example, French would be Language=fr-FR
; The unit(s) of measure are automatic, based on the language.
; For instance, you cannot have the language be French, but the units be F imperial.

; Note however, that simply changing from imperial F to metric C units of measure while keeping the 
; langage as English can be done by using en-GB as the Language.
 
Language=en-US

; Don't change these.

LanguagePath=/#Language#
URLcurrent=https://weather.com/#Language#/weather/today/l/#LocationCode#
URLtendday=https://weather.com/#Language#/weather/tenday/l/#LocationCode#
URLhourbyhour=https://weather.com/#Language#/weather/hourbyhour/l/#LocationCode#

You can then "detect" what unit(s) of measure are being used with:

Code: Select all

; https://weather.com/en-US/weather/today/l/USVA0944
TempUnit=<span class="icon icon-font iconset-ui icon-globe" className="icon icon-font iconset-ui icon-globe"></span><span>.*</span><span class="styles__borderLeft__2zhrE">°(\w)</span>
; This will return "F"

; https://weather.com/en-GB/weather/today/l/USVA0944
TempUnit=<span class="icon icon-font iconset-ui icon-globe" className="icon icon-font iconset-ui icon-globe"></span><span>.*</span><span class="styles__borderLeft__2zhrE">°(\w)</span>
; This will return "C"

When you pass a language code to the site via the URL, EVERYTHING returned will be in that language and unit(s) of measure. All the labels and conditions text and 12hr / 24hr time and all that.

Ok, so for some languages you might need worry about where you put stuff...

Language=ro-RO

Thank you for the detailed reply. Got it, now I see what to do in order to get it working as I'd like.
