I’ve done an update to the DarkSky scripts today (8-Dec-2018) DS-forecast.php V1.05, DS-forecast-lang.php V1.04 that has the following additions:
-
a new current-conditions block can now be displayed (default is to display it). DarkSky JSON has a current entry with conditions from a nearby station generally available. The Icon, conditions, sunrise/set, distance from forecast point and overall summary are displayed in the block. This is similar to the display with the ec-forecast.php script for Canadian forecasts.
-
if precipitation is forecast, the type of precip (rain, snow, sleet) also appears in the text forecast like the ‘Chance of precipitation (rain) nn%’.
-
since DarkSky has a very limited set of icons specified (currently limited to clear-day, clear-night, rain, snow, sleet, wind, fog, cloudy, partly-cloudy-day, or partly-cloudy-night), I’ve added a routine to use the cloud-coverage (converted to octets) to change the clear-, partly-cloudy- specs to use SKC, FEW, SCT, BKN, OVC icons as appropriate. Also, for wind icon, the same cloud-coverage is applied.
Even with these changes, DarkSky continues to use -night icons when talking about full-day forecasts sometimes.
Update is available from the scripts page (update both scripts) and the Template update tool page ( query for 08-Dec-2018, Base-World, *-plugin)
