I would like to just show off a new WebPart that is nearly ready for public release / testing by the community. After a long time of SharePoint development I have become bored and disappointed at the styling of the various “Weather WebParts” that are available. I decided to build my own which is not only free, but is styled my much loved “Metro Windows 8″ style.
The Weather displays the current weather and up to 5 days forecast. I am getting my weather data from http://www.worldweatheronline.com/ which provides a free Weather API which has a 500 requests/hr limit. Therefore i have implemented caching into the webpart to ensure that this is not an issue. I hope to finish the WebPart soon and it will also be rendered using XSLT to ensure that it is extensible to your requirements.
Let me know your initial thoughts on the design and the release will be coming VERY soon.
Looks great! Look forward to it being released.
Looks pretty cool! Excited for the release
Is it possible to add the current time of the location to these Metro web parts for SP 2013? so far looking great. hoping that you will keep all those display types and will be adding new one; thanks for the sharing to the community, looking forward to test it on SP 2013. Thanks

Agree with Vivek – any chance the time can be added to each location..?

How do you download? It looks fantastic!
Will this app be Office 365 ready? How soon is the next build being released?
Hello,
Looks interesting, does it support or can it support https?

Guess this is not going to ever get published? It’s a year old now.
This is amazing – exactly the styling I’m looking for … please release asap!!
Does it geo-locate?
At the moment no it doesn’t geolocate. I am trying to develop a new version for office 365. Keep an eye on the blog for updates.
