Special Weather Statement

    Hello again!

    First of all, I have to say, I’m a believer. The plugin is great. Open Weather is great. And amazingly accurate in comparison with other forecast sources.

    My question is about the “Special Weather Statement” badge that appears (in my layout) under the current conditions. When one hovers over the little rectangle, it changes color and causes the cursor to behave as if the badge is a link to the special weather statement released by the National Weather Service (like the one that is in effect now: https://alerts.weather.gov/cap/wwacapget.php?x=MA1263EF616B14.SpecialWeatherStatement.1263EF6ED380MA.ALYSPSALY.24005902cdfd1b82fe796d8701ea79e8)

    I have a separate plugin that displays active weather warnings via RSS, so I know that OpenWeather’s badge is telling the truth. Just seems like it should link to the warning. If it did, that would be one less plugin I need to keep.

    Thanks for any help you can offer!

    Best —

    Hello, Uwe —

    Hope your travels were pleasant.

    There is a chance of thundershowers tonight, but unless hail and/or damaging wind is expected, the National Weather Service doesn’t usually issue an alert. Looks like it might be a week or more before we can expect to see one.

    As far as the animated icon, I DO like it —?very much —, as it shows up on your page. the sun is partially hidden behind a cloud and rotates in place. On my site, it rotates as if the axis point is close to the edge of the circle, causing the sun to move about around the cloud. Not the worst thing, of course, but if you compare the two:

    you’ll see that they behave unexplainably differently in the two environments.

    The icon animation is done by the browser via SVG + CSS. I found that Chrome-based browsers leave the sun in place while Firefox for example rotates it around the edges of the container.

    In version 5.2.4 I fixed the CSS so that the sun will rotate in place for all browsers.
