Is there a “fairly easy” way to display weather much like this image? Ideally
one for temp, wind, and chance of rain? IE Mainly because I’m guessing when this is “tablet size” reading all the numbers at a glance would be tough..but the graph approach can be quickly understood from a distance.
If that particular website provides a ‘web widget’ or otherwise allows embedding their site into another site/page, then perhaps you could use a URL Custom Tile to embed it. (I also put together a simple Refreshable URL Custom Tile for sites where the data doesn’t automatically refresh)
Otherwise there’s a few other Weather Options include a Weather Custom Tile – it doesn’t have the neat graphs, but it does have a variety of nice layouts you might find helpful.
My example is from the MSN Weather App from the Windows store. I’m a bit clueless about anything else. There is URL access…but I have no idea how to scape just the “Overview” graphical data etc.
I’m a network guy, but not a server guy. Is there a way to use this to do what I want? If so, is there a guide somewhere?
thx

Unless they explicitly provide a page / web widget with only the content you are looking for, it’s not really a reasonable thing to try to just get part of the page (at least not without a lot of convoluted effort and some significant tradeoffs).
I would try to find another weather page / web weather widget that offers what you want… or check the Weather Custom Tile I linked above to see if that might at least cover the basics for you. It’s not a visual trend, but there’s a bunch of different layout variations and one might meet your needs.
Thanks Josh…you’re always on top of posts.
